What are the rules for chess and boxing competitions?

In 2003, a new sport called chessboxing appeared - a hybrid of chess and boxing. Athletes sort things out alternately in 11 rounds: odd - at the chess table, even - in the ring. The winner is the one who either achieved a knockout in the boxing rounds, or checkmate in the game. Fighters, as in boxing, are divided into weight categories, and the international association regularly holds qualifying tournaments and fights for the world title.

Where and when did wine come out of the taps instead of water?

In the Italian commune of Marino, a grape festival is held annually. Its highlight is the supply of wine to the fountains in the main square instead of water. In 2008, due to a technical error, instead of fountains, wine went into the water supply and began to pour from the taps of several nearby houses.

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Earth's magnetic field has a clear cycle 21.08.2021

Scientists from the University of Liverpool studied the history of the Earth's magnetic field and came to the conclusion that its strength periodically decreases and then increases again. The cycles are 200 million years long.

Experts conducted a paleomagnetic analysis of rocks from ancient lava flows in East Scotland. The age of the samples ranged from 200 to 500 million years.

The results showed that 332-416 million years ago, the strength of the geomagnetic field was less than 25% of what it is today. A similar decline also occurred 120 million years ago. The researchers called this period the Middle Paleozoic dipole minimum. Scientists have concluded that the strength of the Earth's magnetic field is cyclical and weakens every 200 million years.

The scientists noted that after the weakening they identified, the magnetic field came to stability and kept it for 50 million years. This phenomenon is called the Keeman superchron.

The Earth's magnetic field protects the planet from solar radiation. Scientists have long established that it is unstable. The north and south poles are constantly shifting and can even completely switch places. Knowing the field's past changes can indicate how it will behave in the future.

The weakening of the field has a direct impact on life on the planet. Recently, experts have determined that the Devonian-Carboniferous mass extinction is associated with increased levels of UVB rays; at the same time, the power of the magnetic field decreased noticeably.
