Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Is it possible for mammals to be born from the genetic material of two males without the mother's genes?

In 2010, a group of American scientists used stem cells to grow offspring from the genetic material of two male mice. Female mice were also involved in the experiment, but only as surrogate mothers and intermediate links, and the resulting mice had an X chromosome from one male and a Y chromosome from another. Even earlier, they learned to grow mice from maternal genes without the participation of the father. Such research, in particular, may help same-sex couples to genetically have their own children in the future.

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 ... >>

Casio watch in the style of the series Stranger Things 28.05.2023

Casio has announced the A120WEST, a Netflix collaboration inspired by the mega-hit "Stranger Things".

Stranger Things is a Netflix action adventure series set in the small American town of Gokins, Indiana in the 1980s. One day, a 12-year-old boy goes missing in the city. His friends, family and the local police search for answers, but find a little girl with the number 011 on her wrist and become involved in unraveling an extreme mystery involving top-secret experiments, terrifying supernatural forces, monsters and the world of Dogoridrigo.

The design of the new watch contains many references to the culture of the 1980s and to the series itself, especially to the alternate dimension Dogoridrigo, which exists in parallel with the human world.

The dial depicts the world of Marvelous Wonderland characters, the bright buttons on the front are reminiscent of the 1980s, and the Demogorgon in the center. Pressing the LED illuminated button brings up the name of the series printed upside down, hinting at the presence of another world on the other side. The back of the case and the translucent strap depict eerie tentacles extending from the underworld.

Four seasons of Stranger Things are now available to watch worldwide on Netflix. The decisive, fifth, is still a long time to wait - it is expected to be released closer to the summer of 2024. But there is a plus in this - there is time to review the first four. Even several times.
