Whose gravestone says he was the husband of another man's widow?

Six years after Mozart's death, his widow Constanza met the Danish diplomat Georg Nikolaus von Nissen and subsequently married him. In 1823, Nissen set about compiling a detailed biography of Mozart and processed a large number of materials and letters from the composer, but died three years later without completing the work. On his gravestone there is a line: "The husband of the widow of Mozart."

What is the average color of all light sources in the universe?

A group of astronomers at Johns Hopkins University determined in 2002 that if you average the colors of all light sources in the universe, you get a light beige color. It was featured in a feature in The Washington Post and invited readers to come up with a name for it. One of them, sitting at Starbucks, noticed the similarity of this shade with the color of the coffee in his mug and sent the Space Latte version to the newspaper, which won the competition.

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 ... >>

Heavy-duty shell helmet material 11.06.2017

Mollusk shells are extremely durable shells that allow animals to withstand the "blows" of tides and storms, as well as fend off predators. Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology decided to study the structure of the shell of mollusks in more detail, and as a result they created a super-strong material that can be used in industry in the future.

A team of researchers developed 3D printing technology that allowed them to mimic the structure of a shell so they could study it more closely in the lab. They took the shells of molluscs of the strombid family as a basis. It turned out that they have a complex three-level structure with a zigzag matrix. Due to this, even if a small crack forms on the shell of the mollusk, it does not grow, as it has to "go through the labyrinth" of layers.

To better understand the formation of cracks in the shells, the researchers 3D-printed samples that resemble the shell of mollusks in structure and conducted a series of tests.

The results obtained during the tests showed that the structure of the shell prevents cracks by 85% better than most durable materials, such as those made of fiber composite.

The researchers believe their technology could be used to make helmets, protective clothing, and even self-defense gear.
