Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

A frost-resistant potato variety has been developed 04.11.2021

The ARS research team and their partners in Peru and the US combined two wild potato species from South America and developed hybrids that could withstand hard frosts. Work continued for several years, resulting in a variety with the greatest ability to tolerate frost.

According to John Bamberg, project manager and geneticist for ARS Vegetable Research in Madison, Wisconsin, the varieties went through rigorous testing before final selection to determine their cold tolerance.

For several years, a group of scientists from the United States and Peru have been evaluating potato varieties for frost resistance. Ultimately, wild potato varieties - Solanum acaule and Solanum commersonii - were selected for breeding work, which showed the greatest resistance to low temperatures.

The breeders then crossed the two varieties and evaluated their hybrids. Before the final selection, the varieties were thoroughly tested for resistance to cold. To do this, the team of scientists used a modified household freezer that mimics natural frost during the night and a laboratory test to measure the level of damage to cell membranes.

As a result, the bred potato variety was tested in the field in several regions of Peru, where it showed good yields and high frost resistance.

Frost damage can occur in any region and at any time throughout the United States. In 2019, potato farmers in eastern Idaho alone lost about 30% of their crop due to off-season frosts. Also, low temperatures can degrade the quality of the potatoes themselves, which can negatively affect the quality of seeds for the next crop.
