Who is buried in the most visited grave in Israel?

There is a grave of Harry Potter in one of the cemeteries in Israel. It was a 17-year-old private in the British army who died in 1939 in a clash with the rebels. Recently, this grave has become the most visited in Israel and has been included in the list of local attractions.

Who brought gifts to the newborn Jesus and how many were there, according to the Gospel?

One of the most famous biblical stories is the worship of the Magi, who, having seen the Star of Bethlehem, came to the birthplace of Jesus and brought him gifts - gold, frankincense and myrrh. In the Catholic tradition, the Magi are known under the names of Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar, however, in the Gospel of Matthew, where this story is mentioned, neither the names nor the exact number of aliens are indicated. In Western iconography, they are often depicted with crowns on their heads, which is why they are popularly known as the three kings. But the Armenian and Syrian churches believe that there were twelve Magi.

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 ... >>

Plants grown in lunar soil 15.05.2022

Scientists from the University of Florida (USA) have shown that plants can successfully grow in the lunar "soil". The scientists also figured out how plants react biologically to lunar regolith, a soil that is radically different from Earth's.

The researchers had 12 grams - just a few teaspoons - of lunar soil for this experiment. The samples provided by NASA were collected during the Apollo missions to the moon.

To grow their tiny "moon garden," the researchers used thimble-sized holes in plastic cups in which cells are normally cultured. After filling each "pot" with about a gram of lunar soil, the scientists moistened it with a nutrient solution and added a few seeds of Tal's clover (Arabidopsis). Since the genetic year of this plant is known, scientists could better understand how the lunar soil affects plants - right down to the level of gene expression.

For comparison, the researchers also planted the succulent in a substance that mimics real lunar soil, as well as simulated Martian soils and terrestrial soils that exist in extreme conditions. Plants grown in these non-lunar soils were the control group of the experiment.

Over time, the researchers noticed differences between the plants grown in the lunar soil and the control group. For example, some of the plants grown in the lunar soil were smaller, slower growing, or more variable in size than their counterparts. These were all physical signs that the plants were trying to cope with the chemical and structural composition of the lunar soil.

"At the genetic level, plants have used tools to deal with stressors such as salt and metals or oxidative stress, so we can conclude that plants perceive the lunar soil environment as stressful," the authors note.

The reaction of plants to lunar soil may be related to the place where the soil was collected. For example, plants that showed more signs of stress were grown in what is known as mature lunar soil. These mature soils are more exposed to the cosmic wind, which changes their composition. On the other hand, plants grown in comparatively less mature soils performed better.
