The bite of which animal causes a painful erection that lasts for several hours?

The Brazilian wandering spider is considered the most poisonous spider - its venom, administered intravenously, is more than 10 times more toxic than that of a black widow. For humans, the bite of this spider is rarely fatal, but often causes priapism - a painful erection that lasts for several hours, which can eventually lead to impotence.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Which fruit was formerly known as the Chinese gooseberry?

The symbol of New Zealand - the kiwi fruit - was brought there from China and was nicknamed the Chinese gooseberry. When New Zealanders began exporting it to the US in the 1950s, the name was unacceptable due to the Cold War and heavy duties on the berries. Then the name "kiwifruit" was coined in honor of another symbol of the country - the kiwi bird. Since kiwifruit has been registered as a trademark, other exporting countries simply call it kiwifruit.

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Super-maneuverable Tsubame satellite 16.10.2019

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency has successfully completed tests of the Tsubame satellite, designed to demonstrate the technology of a spacecraft (SC) in low Earth orbit.

Launched in December 2017 into an elliptical orbit with a perigee of 450 kilometers, the spacecraft moved into an orbit with a perigee of 2018 kilometers at the beginning of 392. Then the satellite descended into orbit with a perigee of 271 kilometers, where it stayed for about a month.

After that, Tsubame successively descended into orbits with perigees of 250 kilometers, 240 kilometers and 230 kilometers, lingering in each for about a week. Then the spacecraft was in orbit with a perigee of 217 kilometers for about a month. In the next orbit (altitude 181 kilometers), the satellite lasted a week.

At the end of the mission, Tsubame stabilized its position in orbit for several days with a perigee of 167 kilometers. In the latter case, the spacecraft additionally used a small liquid-propellant rocket engine (LRE) to maintain altitude and counteract aerodynamic drag, while in all other cases an electric rocket engine (Kaufman xenon ion engine) was used.

Tsubame became the first spacecraft in history to make observations of the Earth's surface, maintaining its position at a low altitude (167 kilometers) using an electric propulsion. The advantage of this technology is the possibility of obtaining high-quality images by saving on image processing systems and induction tools.
