Why did Greece prevent Macedonia from joining NATO and the European Union?

Formed as a result of the breakup of Yugoslavia, the Republic of Macedonia was a member of the UN under the name "Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia". Greece insisted on this, in which there is a province of the same name, which occupies most of the historical region of Macedonia. Greece also prevented Macedonia from joining NATO and the European Union. After a referendum was held and the name changed to the Republic of North Macedonia in 2019, the differences with Greece disappeared.

Where can you see pink dolphins?

Amazonian river dolphins are often pink in color. It is not due to pigmentation - all dolphins are dark gray, but over time they brighten and turn pink due to the abrasion of the skin. The intensity of pink is higher in males due to the injuries they receive in battles with each other for females.

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 ... >>

Gold floats in liquid air 02.01.2006

A group of physicists from the University of Nottingham (England) discovered a new physical effect: substances immersed in a vessel with liquid oxygen placed in a strong magnetic field float up in liquids, whatever their density. The heaviest metal will also float - osmium, which sinks even in mercury.

The buoyancy force depends on the density of the material and its magnetic properties, so objects are located at different levels in a tube with liquid gas.

The effect can be used in industry, for example, for separating diamonds and other minerals from the host rock, for sorting parts from materials of different densities. But in practice, liquid oxygen is better replaced by liquid air, which is cheaper and less flammable.
