Where and when were screenings of the film in cinemas accompanied by scents?

For the release of the 1960 film "The Smell of Mystery," several American theaters installed a Smell-O-Vision system to accompany what was happening on the screen with smells.

A tube was connected to each spectator seat, and smells were blown out of the tubes centrally throughout the hall, and the system worked without the participation of an operator at predetermined time intervals.

However, the first screenings caused a lot of negative feedback: some viewers complained about a strong hiss during the presentation of smells, others that the smells were several seconds late relative to the action on the screen. These problems were later resolved, but rumors about the poor performance of the equipment, coupled with negative reviews about the film itself, had already spread, and Smell-O-Vision was never used again.

Can a day be longer than a year?

Yes, if you live on Mercury. This planet, the closest to the Sun, goes around the star in 88 days, and around its axis it makes one revolution in 176 Earth days. That is how much time passes on Mercury between two sunrises.

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 ... >>

Nanobots for the treatment of astronauts 01.02.2018

The UAE Ministry of Health has announced plans to build the world's first hospital in space.

The project will become part of the UAE national space program. "Astronauts will be provided with medical treatment in space, but it will be controlled on Earth with the help of nanotechnology," UAE Ministry of Health spokeswoman Dr. Kulthum al-Belushi said.

The project will be launched along with the start of the UAE mission to Mars in 2020. First, the hospital project will be tested on Earth.

According to Thierry Karim Luess, head of the medical company Fractal Systems, which received government permission to develop a medical program for the planned Martian mission, before launch, Arab astronauts will be injected into the bloodstream with nanorobots that will repair or remove damaged body cells. The statement also mentioned plans for the use of artificial intelligence.
