How to determine air temperature by the frequency of cricket chirping?

The sounds of crickets are caused by the friction of their wings or legs against each other - this is how males call females. By the frequency of chirring, you can determine the temperature of the air. To do this, you need to count the number of sounds in 25 seconds, divide by 3 and add 4 to the result - you get the temperature in degrees Celsius. The formula works correctly only above 10°C, because at lower temperatures crickets are rarely disposed to love games.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Efficient hemp supercapacitors 25.08.2014

Canadian researchers have found that hemp fibers are not inferior to graphene in their ability to store electrical energy. Engineers proposed to create the supercapacitors of the future from this plant. The new technology will be presented at the 248th meeting of the American Chemical Society.

As you know, supercapacitors, unlike conventional batteries, can be charged and give off energy in just a few seconds. But they have a significant drawback: in terms of energy density, they are inferior to batteries. This indicator can be improved by using electrodes if they are made from new types of materials. Today, graphene is considered the main candidate for such a role, but hemp fiber electrodes, as it turned out, are not inferior to graphene electrodes in performance, and their cost will be noticeably less.

David Mitlin and colleagues studied the waste products from the production of ropes, ropes and clothes from hemp, in particular fibers from the phloem of the plant stems. When the material is heated during the day to a temperature of 180°C, followed by heating to an even higher temperature, carbon nanosheets begin to peel off from it. Supercapacitors, in which the electrodes consist of such a material, and the ionic liquid performs the electrolyte function, surpass all devices of this type available on the market in terms of heat resistance (up to 93 ° C) and capacity. The new supercapacitors have achieved an energy density of 12 Wh/kg, two to three times higher than standard devices.

Currently, Mitlin's group has already begun to establish small-scale production of supercapacitors from hemp.
