Where can you see multi-color and three-dimensional cave paintings of ancient people?

Drawings of ancient people in caves are not necessarily primitive and rude. For example, in the Spanish cave of Altamira, polychrome drawings of the Upper Paleolithic era (more than 10 thousand years ago) were found.

On the walls of the caves, mainly animals are depicted - bison, horses, wild boars, and not in one, but in several colors at once. Moreover, the natural contours of the wall were used by ancient artists to create a three-dimensional effect.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

In what respects Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune do not fully fit the classical definition of a planet?

Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune radiate more energy than they receive from the Sun - Jupiter 1,5 times, Saturn 2 times and Neptune 3 times.

This phenomenon indicates the presence in the cores of these giant planets of powerful energy sources, probably due to the pressure of gravitational forces.

Uranus has a smaller mass than its "brothers", which apparently explains the lower power of its internal heat sources.

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 ... >>

New power low-voltage MOSFETs for automotive electronics 24.03.2004

INTERNATIONAL RECTIFIER Corporation has expanded its family of state-of-the-art low-voltage power MOSFETs for automotive electronics with a range of new products, including the IRF2804S transistor with a record low maximum on-resistance of 2 mΩ in the D2Pak surface mount package.

IR's proprietary Trench MOSFET chip manufacturing process provides ultra-low channel resistivity. This is available with its lower temperature dependency along with the high avalanche energy required to ensure high instrument reliability in harsh automotive applications.

In many cases, this makes it possible to abandon the use of a larger and more expensive D2Pak package in favor of a more compact D-Pak, reduce power dissipation, size and price of electronic components, and simplify their integration into automotive systems.
