Where can you buy cubic watermelon?

Japanese farmers have learned to produce cubic watermelons and melons by growing them in cubic glass molds. They are more convenient to put on the surface, but they cost twice as much as usual.

Under what conditions does unwinding a roll of duct tape produce x-rays?

When unwinding a roll of adhesive tape in a vacuum, both visible light and X-rays are produced. Scientists believe that the reason for this is an effect similar to triboluminescence - the emergence of electromagnetic radiation when asymmetric bonds in a crystal are broken. However, the adhesive mass does not have a crystalline structure, so a different theoretical model is required to explain the glow created by adhesive tape. The power of the emerging X-rays is sufficient to take pictures of body parts, but this is only in a vacuum, and unwinding tape in the air is absolutely safe.

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 ... >>

Created a device to simulate odors in computer games 30.10.2022

Scientists at Stockholm University have developed breakthrough technology for computer simulations and games. The device allows you to smell objects or products that are in the simulator or game.

The smell machine - the so-called olfactometer - allows you to smell in virtual reality. A new device that can be printed on 3D printers has been developed by Stockholm University.

This means that the aroma machine can even be used to train wine tasters or perfumers. And for those who, for example, lost their sense of smell after COVID-19 or for other reasons, the new technology will restore the sense of smell through game-based learning. After all, many stop. training is recommended by doctors because it becomes too boring," explained Jonas Olofsson, professor of psychology, head of the research project.

The creators are confident that the new gadget paves the way for new games.
