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 ... >>

Volvo cars will warn each other about ice 29.03.2014

The Swedish automaker came up with a technology to share information about bad roads between cars. The system notifies not only drivers, but also road services about problem areas.

Volvo Car Group is testing a new vehicle communication system that allows them to send each other information about the condition of the road surface. In real time, the technology warns drivers of icy sections of the road and also informs utilities to start work.

In addition to the Swedish automaker, the new project involves the Norwegian Public Roads Administration and the Swedish Ministry of Transport. Now 50 vehicles are taking part in the tests, equipped with special sensors that record the parameters of the asphalt.

Such cars, having detected a slippery surface on some section of the road, send this information to the Volvo cloud service. The warning is then instantly transmitted to other vehicles in the vicinity of the section of road found in poor condition. Data about this is displayed on the dashboard, and a special application allows you to calculate the degree of danger for the driver, taking into account the current speed and road conditions. "Communication" of cars is carried out using cellular networks.

Informed about the ice, motorists will be able to slow down in advance or choose detour routes. Data on the poor condition of roads is also received by the competent services responsible for their maintenance. They will be able to quickly respond to weather changes that worsen the quality of highway coverage, as well as more efficiently serve the road infrastructure in winter.

By quickly receiving information from a large number of vehicles, utilities, for example, can use less salt and various chemicals, which will reduce the negative impact on the environment, said Erik Israelsson, project manager for intelligent transportation systems at Volvo Cars. According to him, the possibility of car interaction will help improve road safety, make driving comfortable for drivers, and city traffic more efficient.
