Which race car driver was stripped of his driver's license for speeding in Sweden?

At the Swedish round of the 2011 World Rally Championship, Norwegian driver Peter Solberg had an embarrassment. When the racer was just approaching the track on a public road, he was stopped by a policeman for exceeding the speed limit by 30 km/h. According to Swedish law, this violation entails a temporary deprivation of a driver's license and a ban on driving even on special routes, however, with a delay of 48 hours. Therefore Solberg drove the car himself for the first two days of the rally, and on the third final day he put his co-driver Chris Patterson behind the wheel, who had never driven a race car before, but nevertheless did not fall below fifth position.

Which animal's fur grows blue-green algae?

Sloth fur is an entire ecosystem. Most sloths have blue-green algae on their hairs, which provide them with camouflage among the leaves. In turn, hundreds of beetles and other insects live in the sloth's fur, feeding on these algae.

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 ... >>

Silence in the operating room 10.02.2012

Observations made at the University Hospital of Bern (Switzerland) prove that there must be silence during the operation.

Surgeon Guido Beldi reviewed data from 35 patients undergoing the same abdominal surgery and compared it with the noise level during the operation recorded by the instruments. Six patients had complications due to the introduced infection. These operations differed only in that during their course the average noise level was 43,6 decibels instead of 25.

Beldi suggests that the extra noise, mainly associated with the conversations of the staff, prevented the participants in the operation from concentrating and therefore the strict antiseptic requirements were violated.
