What delicacy is produced in Sardinia, subjected to rotting and decomposition?

On the Italian island of Sardinia, a delicacy of Casu Marzu cheese is produced. It is aged longer than the usual fermentation stage, subjected to rotting, during which the larvae of the cheese fly accelerate the process of breaking down the fats in the cheese and making it soft. If disturbed, these larvae can jump up to 15 centimeters, so eaters are advised to protect their eyes. And some gourmets don't even remove the worms before eating the cheese.

What role did the solar eclipse of May 28, 585 BC play in the history of the ancient peoples of Western Asia?

This solar eclipse ended the six-year war between the Lydian king Aliattes and the Median king Cyaxares for dominance in Asia Minor.

Both sides could not achieve victory and were exhausted. On that day, another battle began between the opponents. When the sun went down, and then darkness fell, the Medes and Lydians, instantly forgetting their enmity, threw down their weapons in horror.

As soon as the sun after some time again shone in the sky, they decided that it was time to stop angering the gods, and hastened to make peace.

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 ... >>

Flexible Memory 24.02.2012

Korean engineers have developed a new type of non-volatile memory that can be used in computing devices.

Scientists from the Research Institute of Electronics and Telecommunications KAIST in South Korea have created a new type of non-volatile memory based on memristors. Recall that a memristor is an electronic element that changes its resistance when an electric current passes through it. And the property of memristors to maintain a resistance value after the current supply is stopped makes it an ideal means for storing information. The fabrication process and structure of such memristors make it possible to deposit them on a flexible substrate.

Unlike previous similar samples of flexible memory, the new generation memristors are made not from titanium oxide, but from a graphene oxide film. Their use as information storage cells will allow the development of new data storage devices with higher recording density, cheaper production and low power consumption. And the flexibility of the new elements will make it possible to use them in a variety of devices, from household appliances to clothing of the future.
