Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

What produces most of the atmospheric oxygen?

Seaweed.

Algae release oxygen as waste products from the photosynthesis process. The amount of oxygen they regenerate exceeds the volumes produced by all trees and other terrestrial vegetation combined.

Fossil algae are also a major constituent of oil and gas.

Blue-green algae, or cyanobacteria (from the Greek kyanos - "blue-green"), are considered the oldest life forms known to mankind. The fossil remains of blue-green algae preserved in the earth's crust are about 3,6 billion years old.

The classification of algae for quite a long time tilted either towards plants or towards the camp of bacteria. To date, algae have firmly settled in the kingdom of Monera (from the Greek moneres - "single", referring to their unicellular structure).

One type of blue-green algae, spirulina, provides twenty times more protein per hectare than soybeans. Spirulina is 70% protein (compared to beef - 22%), 5% fat, no cholesterol plus, an impressive array of vitamins and minerals. Hence the growing popularity of spirulina cocktails every day.

In addition, spirulina strengthens the human immune system, especially the production of protein interferons - the front line of our defense against viruses and cancer cells.

The nutritional and medicinal properties of spirulina have been used centuries ago by the Mexican Aztecs, sub-Saharan African peoples, and pink flamingos.

The importance of algae for the future of mankind is truly enormous: after all, they can be grown on absolutely infertile land, using brackish water for irrigation (and at the same time recycling). This agricultural crop does not cause soil erosion, does not require fertilizers and pesticides, and, in addition, refreshes the planet's atmosphere much more than any other plant on Earth.

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 ... >>

Wireless communication for mobile phone 29.01.2001

The Japanese company Total Design Communications has developed a wireless headset for mobile phones called "i2me". Using the new Bluetooth technology, it provides a stable connection between the earphone and the "mobile phone" at a distance of up to 10 meters.

Thus, nothing prevents now to put the phone in a bag and forget about it until the incoming call. Then, without getting confused in the wires, "pick up the phone" and start a conversation. And to do this is surprisingly simple: the device controls are limited to the answer button and the volume control.

The new headset is powered by just one coin cell battery, which lasts for two weeks of intensive use. True, the price of new items is still too high - about $220.
