What people named the interstellar dark regions in the Milky Way?

The ancient Incas singled out in the sky and gave names not only to stars and constellations, as is customary for us. They also called the black spots in the milky way. Among the names of such interstellar sites are Lama, Llama Cub, Shepherd, Condor, Partridge, Toad, Snake and Fox.

Why did Lotus in the 1960s come with instructions for dismantling cars?

In the 1960s, the UK had a special tax regime for cars produced. If the company sold the car not as a whole, but disassembled, then the sales tax was not levied. Moreover, a prerequisite was the lack of instructions for assembling the kit being sold. Lotus figured out how to get around this requirement by inserting instructions for disassembling the car instead.

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 ... >>

Ultra-precise X-ray system for airports 10.09.2022

Scientists from University College London have developed a new system that can provide security at airports, as well as help fight smuggling.

The new system studies the resulting macroscopic changes in X-rays as they pass through various objects. The neural network analyzes the scattering of rays, thus it is possible to recognize various textures and determine what is inside the objects being examined.

Tests showed 100% accuracy in detecting explosives.

In addition, the system can be used in medicine and to identify weaknesses in industrial designs.
