Which nation has a tradition of celebrating the age of 83?

A bar mitzvah is a religious coming of age for Jewish boys at the age of 13. From that moment on, they are considered responsible for their actions, are required to observe all 613 commandments of the Torah, and can also own property and marry. In some Jewish communities, a tradition has developed to celebrate the Bar Mitzvah again at 83 years old. The old people proceed from the fact that, according to the Torah, the normal life expectancy of a person is 70 years, after which they, as it were, begin a second life span.

When and why did arrows appear on men's trousers?

Arrows are a mandatory attribute of modern men's trousers, but this was not always the case. Before the era of industrial production, there were no arrows. And with the development of factory tailoring in the second half of the 19th century, it became necessary to transport large quantities of goods, most often by sea. After unpacking, the pants had creases that were difficult to smooth out, but this option came into vogue.

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 ... >>

Revolutionary chip for one cent 27.08.2012

A cheap electronic device that can be printed in millions could change the way you interact with everyday objects. A device called rectenna (antenna with built-in rectifier) was created by specialists from the National University of Suncheon and Paru. At a price of just one cent a piece, these devices can be placed on any item: food packaging, clothing, logos, signs, magazines, and more.

The device is a combination of antenna and rectifier, i.e. transmits and receives information and can convert alternating current to direct current. Rectenna can be printed on plastic film with 5 different e-inks. Rectenna can convert radio emission directly into electrical voltage, in particular, the new antenna can provide at least 0,3 watts.

New devices will allow people to directly "communicate" with surrounding objects, referring to them using, for example, a smartphone. In this way it will be possible to find out everything about the origin of the product, the menu of the restaurant or the content of the printed publication.

The new technology is very similar to QR codes, allowing users to take a photo of a square-shaped barcode using their smartphone. The difference is that the device has a small chip that can itself contain digital information. At the same time, the rectenna is cheap and does not need a separate power source. New devices can be made using environmentally friendly printing, and in large quantities. Thus, in the near future, most of the things and products we know, thanks to rectenna, will receive many additional functions.
