How did Japanese scientists breed non-poisonous puffer fish?

Fugu fish is the most exquisite delicacy in Japanese cuisine. However, if improperly prepared, eating this fish can cause fatal poisoning. Scientists have found that the toxicity of puffer fish is not due to innate properties, but solely to its diet - starfish and shells, from which it receives poison. If you feed it with non-toxic food, there will be no deadly poison in it at all. However, this discovery did not arouse the joy of chefs and owners of Japanese restaurants. After all, a portion of fugu is very expensive and attracts tourists precisely by the opportunity to experience the thrill, and the absence of danger can significantly reduce the price of the dish.

Where did the events of Robinson Crusoe take place?

The most famous of the Chilean islands are Easter Island and the Juan Fernandez Islands. Easter Island is located far from the coast of Chile, almost in the center of the Pacific Ocean. Polynesians live on this island, and it is famous for its stone statues.

The Juan Fernandez Islands are closer to the coast of Chile than Easter Island, but they are also lost in the ocean. It was here that the events that Daniel Defoe told about in the novel "Robinson Crusoe" took place. The novel was based on a story that really happened to the Scot Alexander Selkirk.

Chile stretches along the Pacific coast of South America in a narrow strip more than 4 thousand kilometers long. In the east of the country rise the Andes, on whose high peaks the snow never melts. In the west, along the coast, the Andes Coastal Cordillera wall.

Before the Spanish conquest, various Indian tribes lived on the land of Chile. The northern and central regions of modern Chile, which the Spaniards quickly conquered, were part of the Inca Empire. The Spanish conquerors failed to conquer other tribes. On the border of conquered and unconquered lands, the Spaniards founded the fortress of Valdivia, named after their leader, Pedro de Valdivia.

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>
