Which monarch was technically at war with himself?

King George VI, as head of Great Britain, was at war with Germany. However, he technically remained the head of neutral Ireland and was forced to sign the credentials of the German ambassadors. And in 1947, during the Indian-Pakistani conflict, George VI generally found himself at war with himself, since he was the head of these two states.

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 ... >>

Smart tungsten coating will replace paper 09.11.2016

Scientists have created a reusable paper-like coating that is designed to reduce the consumption of paper products to restore the planet's ecology. You can "draw" on such a coating using UV radiation.

Digital media is ubiquitous in today's society, but sometimes an electronic screen is simply not enough, or it costs an unreasonable amount of money to use. The typical office worker still prints thousands of pages of paper documents a year, and large posters and banners remain the norm at trade shows and conferences. To reduce the environmental impact and reduce paper consumption, engineers have created a paper-like coating that can be cleaned and reused up to 40 times after use without losing image quality.

The flexible membrane is made of tungsten oxide. Similar technologies are used in "smart" windows, which control the amount of light and heat passing through them using water-soluble polymers. "Printing" on the membrane surface occurs by selective exposure to ultraviolet light, as a result of which the colorless tungsten oxide begins to turn blue. Changing the light takes only a few seconds, which is much faster than in previous similar experiments. The pattern will naturally fade in the presence of oxygen, but will still remain visible for several days under normal atmospheric conditions.

Membranes can be bleached in just half an hour, and in two ways - either by exposing them to ozone, or simply by heating.

The researchers suggest that a commercial version of this technology can be released to the market relatively easily. The raw materials for making membranes are commercially available, and UV lamps are often used to sterilize food and equipment, so they are also easy to get. As specific applications, the scientists suggest embedding membranes in fabric to create a kind of "customizable" garment that can be painted as desired. The same applies to posters and billboards, which can be redrawn every time on the old surface.
