Where are the largest reserves of water in the solar system?

The largest reserves of water in the solar system are, oddly enough, it may seem at first glance, on the Sun.

Water molecules in the form of vapor are concentrated in sunspots, where the temperature is one and a half thousand degrees lower than in the surrounding areas, as well as in the region of the temperature minimum - a narrow layer under the surface of the star.

Why is the Hatter from Alice in Wonderland insane?

In the days of Lewis Carroll, felt hat makers worked long hours with mercury vapor. Mercury poisoning often manifested itself in such symptoms as incoherent speech, memory loss, tremors, which was reflected in the saying "Mad as a hatter" ("Mad as a hatter"). That is why the Hatter from "Alice in Wonderland", aka the Hatter, is presented as insane.

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 ... >>

Heating by computers 01.04.2004

The building of the German insurance company Allianz in Munich is heated by computers. The data center in the basement, with its eighty powerful computers, generates enough heat to heat the office space of about 12 square meters, where more than 2000 employees sit.

The water temperature in the batteries reaches 55 degrees Celsius, but when the temperature outside the windows drops below one degree of heat, additional energy sources have to be turned on.

Nevertheless, 138 thousand euros are saved annually on fuel. Since the company has 60 million customers worldwide, the computers are not in danger of shutting down.
