In which country is a separate concrete bunker built for each family?

In 1967, the ruler of socialist Albania, Enver Hoxha, launched a program of general "bunkerization" of the country in case of war. It operated for almost 20 years, during which time more than 700 concrete bunkers were built - one for each family.

On average, there were 24 bunkers for every square kilometer of Albanian territory. Today, they have been partially dismantled in the cities, but most remain standing and are the most recognizable feature of the Albanian landscape.

Some bunkers have been converted into cafes or mini-hotels, and teenagers have found their most popular use for dates.

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 ... >>

Water found on asteroid Bennu 06.12.2018

The OSIRIS-REx probe, sent in September 2016 to the asteroid Bennu, flew 2,2 million km and arrived at its destination a week ago. It approached the celestial body and moves next to it at a distance of about 10 km. At the rendezvous stage, which lasted from mid-August to early December, the apparatus began scientific observations.

Data obtained with spectrometers showed the presence of molecules containing hydroxyl groups, that is, oxygen and hydrogen atoms bonded together.

The scientists believe these hydroxyl groups are found throughout the asteroid in water-bearing clay minerals, meaning that at some point Bennu's rock material interacted with water. The asteroid itself is too small to hold liquid water, but the findings indicate that liquid water was present for some time on the much larger asteroid from which Bennu broke off.

The researchers note that the data obtained using the OSIRIS-REx cameras confirm Bennu's ground-based telescopic observations and the asteroid model developed in 2013. In turn, the presence of hydrated minerals makes the asteroid Bennu, which appeared during the formation of the solar system, very well suited for the OSIRIS-REx mission to study the composition of primitive volatile and organic substances. The probe is to take soil samples from Bennu and bring them back to Earth in 2023. Scientists hope to obtain from them important information about the history and development of the solar system.
