In which country can you evade military conscription by lottery?

The draft age for the Royal Thai Army is 21. During the call, those who want to serve voluntarily are first identified. They can choose the branch of service, and the term of service, depending on the branch of service and education, ranges from six months to a year.

If the volunteers do not occupy all the required positions, the recruitment continues by drawing lots. Those who draw a black card are released from duty, and those who draw a red one go to serve, and their term is already from one to two years.

Authors: Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger

Why did an American nuclear submarine sink right at the pier in 1969?

In 1969, the American nuclear submarine USS Guitarro (SSN-665) sank at a depth of 10 meters right at the pier. The accident occurred as a result of inconsistency between the actions of two groups of specialists: one of them filled the bow ballast cavities with water, and the other - the stern ones. Each of these standard operations was needed to calibrate the instruments, but the simultaneous execution of them by crews unaware of each other led to flooding. The operation to raise and restore the boat cost $20 million.

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 ... >>

XNUMXD materials change shape and store energy 08.09.2021

The group of Professor Peter Baum from the University of Konstanz studied two-dimensional materials that, when exposed to a laser, change their shape and their unique properties.

Using laser pulses, the MXene can be repeatedly switched between flat and wavy, opening up a wide range of possible applications.

MXenes are two-dimensional sheets of transition metal carbides or nitrides: they are arranged in single layers a few atoms thick. Such a fine structure can only be obtained by exfoliating one material into many small layers.

Unlike most other single layer materials, MXene can be easily produced in large quantities thanks to the discovery of a scalable and irreversible chemical exfoliation method.

The chemical and physical properties of MXene are configurable depending on the choice of transition metal. Therefore, the material can be used in sensing, energy storage, light collection, and even to achieve an antibacterial effect.

In the new study, the authors improved the properties of MXene using fast light pulses that they directed at the material. As a result, they found that laser energy is transferred to the atomic lattice in a record time - only 230 femtoseconds. The researchers also managed to control the orientation of nanowaves using laser polarization: this means that the material has optical memory at the nanolevel.

Moreover, if the laser is again directed at the MXene, the material will again turn into a plane.
