Where was torture used, inspired by the works of Dali and Kandinsky?

The works of Dali and Kandinsky inspired the Republicans to create special torture chambers for captured Francoists during the Spanish Civil War. They had beds with a surface at an angle of 20 °, a floor with randomly attached bricks, paintings from representatives of abstract art and surrealism hung on the walls. The torture also included watching Buñuel's film The Andalusian Dog.

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 ... >>

Music from the web 26.04.2021

Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), together with colleagues from Studio Tomás Saraceno, have studied the properties of the web and converted it into music.

Dr. Markus Buhler, who has long been working on extracting rhythms and melodies of non-human origin from natural materials, compared the threads of the web to vibrating strings. The web seemed to the researcher to be a very promising material.

The researchers scanned the web as it was being built with a laser to obtain XNUMXD cross sections and then used computer algorithms to reconstruct the web's XNUMXD architecture. Its threads were assigned different frequencies of sound, peculiar notes. Thanks to this, it was possible to investigate the time sequence of building a network in sound form.

It remains only to pull the threads on an instrument that looks like a harp. It turned out to play the music of the web - with unusual concerts, scientists even spoke to the public.

Knowing the structure of the web and translating it into music could have a variety of uses, scientists say, from 3D printers that can mimic a spider's ability to "print" a web, to interspecies communication with spiders. For this purpose, for example, the vibrations of the web were recorded during its creation, or during communication with other spiders or the ceremony of courting females.

Scientists have also created a virtual reality that allows people to "enter" inside the web to imagine the environment in which the spider lives.
