Where is black vodka produced?

Briton Mark Dorman in 1996 came up with the idea of black vodka and became the first who managed to implement it. Blavod brand vodka has a black color due to the black catechu dye, while in all other indicators and organoleptic tests it remains ordinary transparent vodka and does not stain the oral cavity.

Especially often Blavod can be seen at Halloween celebrations.

What is the size of an atom?

Let's start with the fact that our knowledge of the atom today may change tomorrow. With the advent of synchrophasotrons, scientists are constantly gaining more and more information about the atom.

Interestingly, the word "atom" in Greek meant "indivisible". The ancient Greeks considered the atom to be the smallest component of any matter.

Today, more than 20 different particles that make up an atom have been discovered! According to scientists, an atom consists of electrons, protons, neutrons, positrons, neutrinos, mesons and hyperons. Electrons are negatively charged particles. The proton, which is about 1836 times heavier than the electron, is positively charged. The heavier particle, the neutron, is neutral. A positron, roughly equal to an electron, is also positively charged. A neutrino is about two thousand times smaller than an electron and has no charge. Mesons can be charged positively or negatively. Hyperons are larger than protons.

How all these particles, or charges, are arranged together is still unknown. Various chemical elements are made up of such atoms. Some differ in weight, so chemical elements are grouped by atomic weight. For example, hydrogen is number 1 in such a table, and iron is number 55. This means that an iron atom is 55 times heavier than a hydrogen atom. However, their weight is extremely small. One hydrogen atom weighs only one million-million-million-millionth of a gram! To imagine how small atoms are, consider how many atoms there are in one gram of hydrogen - that's the number "six" followed by 23 zeros. If you start counting them - one per second - it will take ten thousand million million years to count all the atoms in one gram of hydrogen!

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 ... >>

Milk began to drink in the Urals 02.12.2005

According to experts, more than half of the world's population is unable to digest milk in adulthood.

The babies of all mammals have a special enzyme for digesting milk sugar - lactose. But in most mammals, and in many humans, the lactose-producing gene is turned off as adults, and milk is no longer digested.

A group of Finnish biologists led by Lena Peltonen from the University of Helsinki, after analyzing DNA samples from different peoples from four continents, came to the conclusion that the mutation that allowed the lactose gene to work in adults occurred for the first time among the peoples living between the Urals and the Volga.

It happened 4800-6600 years ago. From here, during the migrations of peoples, a useful gene spread to Europe (especially to the north of Europe, where the majority of the population absorbs milk well) and to the Middle East.

In addition to the love of milk, these peoples brought with them the languages that we now call Indo-European.
