Who and when went on strike while in space?

On December 28, 1973, the American astronauts who were on the Skylab station went on strike - to this day the only one in the history of space travel. This was the third crew on the station, consisting, unlike the first two, entirely of newcomers. However, NASA further increased the workload and the research program, as the previous crew coped with all the tasks and asked for additional ones. After declaring a strike, the astronauts cut off communication with the mission control center and spent the entire day relaxing and looking at the Earth.

Which athlete became the best on the continent by learning from Youtube videos?

Kenyan Julius Yego learned to throw the javelin using Youtube videos of Olympic champions as a tutorial. Only after winning the All-Africa Games did the athlete begin to work with a coach, although he continues to improve on his own for most of the year. In 2015, Yego won the World Championship, and won a silver medal at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

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 ... >>

Construction of the largest enterprise for the direct removal of carbon dioxide from the air 12.07.2022

The Swiss company Climeworks has begun construction of the world's largest facility to remove carbon dioxide from the air. In September last year, Climeworks in Iceland launched the first Orca (Orca) plant with a capacity of 4 thousand tons of CO2 per year. The new Mammoth plant will be able to annually remove 36 thousand tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and it will start working in 18-24 months.

The company recognizes that millions of tons of carbon dioxide must be removed from the air each year to offset CO2 emissions from human activities. Hundreds of thousands of Kosatka and Mammoth installations will be required to achieve the goal. This is what Climeworks aims to achieve by 2050, expecting a long and difficult road to solving the problem of climate neutrality.

Carbon dioxide extracted from the air is mixed with water and pumped into cavities in the earth - mines and natural reservoirs. This is being done by the contractor represented by CarbFix. It normally takes hundreds or even thousands of years to mineralize (fix) carbon dioxide in natural conditions, but CarbFix has developed technology to speed up the process, which can now be completed within two years.

The Orca and Mammoth units are powered by renewable sources. The killer whale is powered by geothermal sources, and a similar supply of energy to the installations will be implemented at the Mammoth enterprise.

We add that in the United States in May this year, a budget of $ 2 billion was allocated for the creation of national centers for the removal of CO3,5 from the air. It is planned that by the end of this decade, hundreds of thousands of tons of carbon dioxide will be removed from the atmosphere, and by 2050 - millions of tons.
