Which Voronezh street is named after a character that never existed?

In Voronezh there is a street of Peter Sazonov, although neither a revolutionary figure nor a famous Voronezh citizen with such a name and surname has ever existed. The fact is that two other streets used to intersect at this place - the name of the revolutionary Pyotr Alekseev and the name of the terrorist-Socialist-Revolutionary Yegor Sazonov, who killed Minister Plehve. But in the 1970s, this area was built up, and, combining the two names, they named the remaining roadway after Pyotr Sazonov.

What secret did the Chinese keep more than their eyes?

Now everyone knows everything about silkworm butterflies and the silk threads they secrete. But only the Chinese realized almost five thousand years ago to domesticate the silkworm and with its help to establish the industrial production of luxurious and durable silk, the favorite material of fashionistas and fashionistas of all times and peoples. No less surprising is the fact that for centuries the Chinese managed to keep the secret of silk production.

It was the greatest secret! For its disclosure was punished by death. It is difficult to say how many foreign merchants paid with their lives trying to take the "golden" silkworm out of China. Where and how they were not hidden by cunning foreigners and once they were almost taken out of Sichuan province in a bamboo staff! But even there meticulous Chinese customs officials discovered smuggling! True, this was far from the only achievement of the Chinese. The first compass appeared in China. Scientist Zhang Heng (78-139 years) designed the first seismograph, a celestial globe, described two thousand five hundred stars.

Even before our era, Chinese astronomers were the first to record the appearance of Halley's comet and discovered spots on the Sun. The Chinese invented the iron shovel and crossbow, paper, fragile porcelain and formidable gunpowder. The Chinese were the first to invent paper money.

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 ... >>

Artificial piglets - organ donors for humans 21.02.2024

Japanese scientists have been able to create genetically modified piglets whose organs can be used for human transplantation.

PorMedTec has been able to produce three genetically modified piglets whose organs are suitable for transplantation into humans. These organs have a lower risk of rejection. Scientists from the American biotechnology company eGenesis created piglets by transferring cell nuclei into eggs, which made it possible to obtain genetically modified embryos.

The embryos were then transferred into the uterus of a surrogate pig, resulting in the birth of cloned piglets. In February, three piglets were born via caesarean section. They were made with 10 different genetic changes that are believed to help prevent organ rejection if they are transplanted into humans in the future.

Upon reaching maturity, the piglets will be transferred to scientific institutions in Japan for research. These studies will determine whether it is possible to transplant their organs into other animals, in particular monkeys.

The creation of genetically modified piglets that can serve as organ donors for humans opens up new prospects in medical science. However, we still have a lot of work ahead of us before this technology becomes available for widespread use.
