What time of day does most of the world's population sleep?

A person is in a state of sleep for a smaller part of the day. It can be assumed that at any moment the majority of the world's population is awake, but due to the uneven distribution of people across time zones, this is not the case. 5 hours a day - approximately from 20:00 to 01:00 UTC - most earthlings sleep.

The peak with a value of about 57,5% of sleepers falls at 22:00 UTC, which corresponds to one in the morning Moscow time.

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 ... >>

Smart crib from Ford 11.04.2017

Ford has unveiled a very interesting development - a "smart" crib that can simulate car trips.

As practice shows, kids quickly fall asleep when traveling in the dark. Ford's new development called Max Motor Dreams recreates the atmosphere of such journeys at home.

The smart crib can reproduce car movements, engine noise, and even changing street lights. At the same time, the system is controlled through a smartphone application that can record the rhythm of movements, sound and light effects that the child is used to on familiar routes.

"After talking with young mothers and fathers, it is easy to understand that many of them dream of just sleeping peacefully for at least one night. Everyone knows that children easily fall asleep during car trips, but this method does not help solve the problem of parents' lack of sleep, since they do not care having to stay awake and driving. The Max Motor Dreams Crib can make life easier for moms and dads around the world," says Ford.

The company is considering the possibility of mass production of this unique development, subject to consumer interest.
