Who played a key role in the popularization of champagne?

Many consider the French monk Pierre Dom Perignon to be the inventor of champagne, but this is far from the truth. He developed many techniques that are still used by champagne producers in the process of making initial wine, but he considered bubbles in wine to be a sign of marriage. And the British played a key role in the popularization of bubbling wine. They imported wines from the Champagne region, and then poured them from barrels into bottles with a cork stopper (which the French did not know then). After the resumption of the fermentation process, carbon dioxide began to form in the bottles, and the wine in open bottles bubbled, which the British liked very much.

What did the inhabitants of the Earth fear in 1910, when our planet passed through the tail of Halley's comet?

In 1910, the Earth passed through the tail of Halley's comet, one of whose components is the poisonous cyanide gas. One of the leading astronomers of the time, Camille Flammarion, predicted in advance that this gas would poison the atmosphere and could kill all life on the planet. In this regard, the population intensively bought protective masks, as well as anti-cyanide pills and umbrellas produced by enterprising manufacturers. As a result, it turned out that the poisonous gas in the tail of the comet was very rarefied and had no effect on living beings.

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 ... >>

Gene therapy will build muscle without exercise 15.05.2020

A new study by scientists at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has shown that gene therapy can help with obesity and build muscle without the need for additional exercise.

Follistatin is a protein that affects a number of cellular processes, including muscle proliferation. Previous animal studies have shown that gene therapy designed to increase the expression of follistatin can prevent the development of certain degenerative muscle diseases. The new work explored whether this type of therapy could help treat osteoarthritis by increasing muscle mass and reducing the metabolic syndrome associated with obesity.

The study was conducted on mice. The animals were fed a high-fat diet, and scientists also observed the progression of post-traumatic osteoarthritis. During the experiment, mice received a single gene therapy treatment designed to increase follistatin expression.

As a result, the researchers noticed that the animals gained muscle mass without gaining extra weight, despite being fed a high-fat diet and not being given more exercise than usual. Gene therapy markedly mitigated cartilage degeneration, synovial inflammation associated with joint damage and osteoarthritis.

This is not the first time follistatin treatment has been proposed to fight against human diseases. The protein is being considered as a potential therapy for cancer, kidney disease, and cystic fibrosis. A phase-one human study testing the safety of follistatin gene therapy has shown that the treatment does not cause any side effects, but efficacy at this stage is unclear.

The new work suggests that such therapy generates a range of multifactorial effects not only on muscle mass, but also on broad metabolic activity, which may counter calorie absorption in high-fat diets.
