In which war was one of the rounds of negotiations devoted to limiting the size of flags?

The ceasefire negotiations at the end of the Korean War took place in an ordinary army tent. Even here, the parties waged a struggle for supremacy, bringing larger and larger flags to each round of negotiations.

This continued until the flags could no longer physically fit in the tent, at which time a special round was scheduled to settle their sizes.

The approved flags are still used when North and South Korea meet in the demilitarized zone.

How did the Red Army soldier Dmitry Ovcharenko manage to defeat a German detachment of 50 people?

According to the description of the feat of the Red Army soldier Dmitry Ovcharenko from the decree on awarding him the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, on July 13, 1941, he delivered ammunition to his company and was surrounded by a detachment of enemy soldiers and officers of 50 people. Despite the fact that the rifle was taken away from him, Ovcharenko did not lose his head and, snatching an ax from the wagon, cut off the head of the officer interrogating him. He then threw three grenades at the German soldiers, killing 21 people. The rest fled in panic, except for another officer, whom the Red Army soldier caught up with and also cut off his head.

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 ... >>

1 Tbps or higher wireless data antenna 13.03.2013

The graphene antenna, which was developed by American scientists, is capable of providing wireless data transfer rates of 1 Tbps and higher and can be used at distances up to 1 m, as well as for data transmission between elements of the same crystal or printed circuit board. Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology have designed a graphene wireless antenna that can provide wireless data transfer rates of more than a terabit per second, that is, capable of transmitting several HD-resolution films per second, reports Technology Review.

"This is incredible speed. Today, it takes hours to copy data from one computer to another. New technology can reduce the procedure to a few seconds," commented Ian Akyildiz, head of the technology laboratory at Georgia Institute of Technology wireless connection. However, a graphene antenna is able to provide the specified speed at a short distance - only about 1 m. The smaller the distance, the higher the speed can be. The researchers calculated that at a distance of several centimeters, in theory, speeds of up to 100 Tbps can be achieved.

Graphene is a two-dimensional lattice of carbon atoms that has a honeycomb structure. Electrons in such a lattice move almost without resistance - 50-500 times faster than in a semiconductor. This material is considered promising for the creation of next-generation electronic components. To create an antenna, according to the team of researchers, graphene must be shaped into narrow strips with a width of 10 to 100 nm and a length of 1 micron, which will allow data transmission at the terahertz frequency. Electromagnetic waves at the terahertz frequency will lead to the emergence of plasmonic waves - the oscillation of atoms on the surface of graphene strips - which will allow data to be transmitted and received.

Graphene antennas can also be used to link nanoscale components on the same semiconductor, not just to link two systems. "The graphene antenna can be made much smaller than a conventional wire antenna. It can be a micrometer or a few nanometers in size. The bottom line is that such an antenna can be placed in very small objects," explained Phaedon Avouris, IBM Fellow Emeritus, who leads research in nanotechnology at the IBM Research Laboratory in New York. However, before creating such an antenna, scientists have to solve many problems. "The antenna cannot work on its own. It depends on a lot of other components - such as generators and detectors, amplifiers and filters. All of them must be created on the same scale and made to work at the same speeds in order to get a complete device," - the researchers explained.

A group of scientists from the Georgia Institute of Technology intends to create a prototype antenna within a year, and then add other components to it. The work is scheduled to be published in the IEEE Journal of Selected Areas in Communication in 2013.
