When was ketchup invented?

Both a very long time ago and relatively recently. Around 300 BC e. in ancient Rome they used sour sauce. It included vinegar, olive oil, peppers and sardines. But, of course, there were no tomatoes native to the American continent. They first appeared in the composition of the sauce only in 1790, when in England they were convinced that the fiery red overseas vegetable was not poisonous.

Who came up with the idea of using a countdown to launch space rockets?

The countdown that invariably accompanies the launch of space rockets was not invented by scientists or astronauts, but by filmmakers. The countdown was first shown in the 1929 German film Woman in the Moon to build up tension. Subsequently, when launching real rockets, the designers simply adopted this technique.

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 ... >>

Tonometer with smartphone 28.11.2013

Nihon University specialists have developed a miniature blood pressure monitor, devoid of the usual cuff. The device can be used in conjunction with a smartphone.

The details of the development have not yet been disclosed, but it is known that the measurement is based on the analysis of the reflected light signal. To measure pressure, a finger is inserted into a small device with an LED, a phototransistor, and signal processing circuits inside.

Connection to a smartphone is carried out via Bluetooth 4.0. The measurement results are displayed on the smartphone screen by an application for Android OS. The program shows the average and instantaneous values of systolic and diastolic pressure, heart rate and pulse waveform.

The developers expect to establish the production and sale of sensors in the first half of 2014.
