How exactly does the human brain perceive colors?

The statement that the human brain perceives color as red (R), green (G) and blue (B) is not true. In fact, the brain receives information about the difference in brightness between white and black, between green and red, and between blue and yellow. This explains the phenomenon that people perceive the color of objects in the same way under different light sources.

Where and when did a skirmish between sports fans lead to a riot and the deaths of 35 people?

Gangs of sports fans and skirmishes between them existed long before the modern era. In the Roman and then the Byzantine empires, the armies of devoted fans were at the chariots competing in speed. In 532, during the reign of Justinian I, the most influential groups were "green" and "blue" - the latter was patronized by the emperor himself. At one of the competitions, the conflict between the fans resulted in the fact that the "greens" demanded that Justinian abdicate the throne, but he ordered the instigators to be captured and executed. Then the two groups united and organized an uprising that went down in history under the name "Nika" and led to the significant destruction of Constantinople, as well as the death of 35 thousand people.

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 ... >>

record probe 14.12.2002

The largest probe balloon with a volume of 1,7 million cubic meters was launched by Canadian scientists on August 25 this year. It carried 690 kilograms of instruments for studying the Sun and the solar wind. During the flight, which lasted about 23 hours, the balloon reached a height of 49 kilometers. Instruments with accumulated data descended to the ground by parachute.

Until now, the largest balls were 1,4 million cubic meters.
