Which Auschwitz doctor conducted experiments on people, but during them he saved the prisoners from death?

The only one acquitted at the first Auschwitz trial in 1947 was Dr. Hans Münch. He was a member of the NSDAP and the SS, but turned out to be the only employee of Auschwitz who did not participate in the division of the arriving prisoners into workers, experimental subjects and "suicide bombers". Although Münch conducted experiments on prisoners, he tried to resort to various tricks to extend the experiments for as long as possible, and cause as little harm as possible. Thus, he saved many lives, since the experimental ones, who could no longer be useful, were sent to the gas chambers.

Who are El Niño and La Niña?

The Spanish name El nino - a boy, and also the baby Christ (according to the Catholic tradition) - meteorologists call a warm current in the Pacific Ocean, which is found at irregular intervals during Christmas off the coast of Peru. It affects the climate of the region, causing drastic weather changes. Sometimes a cold current is also found nearby - La nina (in Spanish - a girl).

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 ... >>

The threat of space debris to the Earth's magnetic field 01.05.2024

More and more often we hear about an increase in the amount of space debris surrounding our planet. However, it is not only active satellites and spacecraft that contribute to this problem, but also debris from old missions. The growing number of satellites launched by companies like SpaceX creates not only opportunities for the development of the Internet, but also serious threats to space security. Experts are now turning their attention to the potential implications for the Earth's magnetic field. Dr. Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics emphasizes that companies are rapidly deploying satellite constellations, and the number of satellites could grow to 100 in the next decade. The rapid development of these cosmic armadas of satellites can lead to contamination of the Earth's plasma environment with dangerous debris and a threat to the stability of the magnetosphere. Metal debris from used rockets can disrupt the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Both of these systems play a key role in protecting the atmosphere and maintaining ... >>

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Energy from olives 01.01.2001

In the town of Benameji in southern Spain, a thermal power plant with a capacity of 12 megawatts has been operating for three years, fueled by oil cake left after squeezing oil from olives.

A third of the world's olive oil production comes from Spain, leaving more than five million tons of waste every year. Spanish peasants have long used this cake, after drying it, to heat their houses.

The experiment at Benamehi was so successful that two more "olive" thermal power plants with a capacity of 16 megawatts are now planned. In total, the waste of the annual harvest can feed eight such power plants.
