Which person's birthday is celebrated in different countries on different days and months?

The official birthday of the British monarch is celebrated in the UK and Commonwealth countries regardless of the actual day of his birth. For example, in England the holiday is appointed on the first, second or third Saturday of June, in Australia - on the first or second Monday of June, although different states may decide in their own way. So, since 2012, in Queensland, the Queen's birthday has been celebrated in October (although Elizabeth II herself was born on April 21).

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 ... >>

Transistors based on carbon nanotubes 13.10.2015

Engineers at the IBM Research Center have developed a cutting-edge technique that allows nanoscale electrical contacts to be applied to carbon nanotubes with little or no increase in resistance.

The key point of the technology is the formation of chemical bonds between the nanoobject and the metal, for which molybdenum is used as the contact material. Upon chemical interaction with a semiconductor nanotube, the metal forms molybdenum carbide.

As a result, scientists for the first time managed to create a fragment of an electrical circuit with a 9-nanometer contact and a resistance of only 25 to 36 kOhm. Such a device turned out to be able to conduct a current of 15 microamperes through just one nanotube, which is much more than when using a similar cross section in a copper wire.

The technology for creating contacts in a semiconductor nanotube differs markedly from traditional sputtering methods, and its main advantage is the size of the contact pad less than 10 nanometers, which is at least 20 times smaller.

The new method will be useful for creating promising high-performance computers based on carbon nanotubes, transistors for which IBM plans to present by 2020.
