How fast do nails grow?

Fingernails take about a week to grow a millimeter, while those on toes take twice that. In summer, nails grow faster than in winter, and on the right hand faster than on the left (for left-handed people, the opposite is true).

Why did the West get scared of Khrushchev's Kuzka's mother?

Khrushchev's famous phrase "I'll show you Kuz'kin's mother!" at the UN Assembly translated literally - "Kuzma's mother". The meaning of the phrase was completely incomprehensible and from this the threat acquired a completely sinister character. Subsequently, the expression "kuzkina mother" was also used to refer to the atomic bombs of the USSR.

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 ... >>

FET SuperMESH3 24.02.2009

STMicroelectronics has expanded its line of power field-effect transistors with a new family of highly reliable and efficient devices manufactured using SuperMESH3 technology. These transistors are intended for use in power correctors and half-bridge cascades of electronic ballasts of fluorescent lamps and in switching power supplies.

The first transistors of the family are designed to operate at reverse voltages of 620 V - STx6N62K3 and STx3NK62K3, as well as 525 V STx7N52K3 and STx6N52K3. The new technology provides low channel on-resistance, reduced recovery time, gate charge and input capacitance, which ultimately improves switching properties and operating frequency.

An added benefit of this technology, which combines stripline technology with an optimized vertical transistor structure, is some of the best dv/dt properties in its class. Achieving a low channel resistance also allows the use of small packages for high-voltage field-effect transistors, which ensures maximum packing density on the board.

So, for example, the STx3N62K3 transistor with a resistance of 2,5 ohms is available in IPAK, DPAK, D2PAK, T0-220, TO-220FP packages.
