What do workers do with chopsticks when they are hired by Asian chip makers?

In the assembly shops of microchip factories, well-coordinated workers are valued. Many Asian manufacturers, when hiring staff, conduct a test for coordination of movements: you need to quickly collect small beads with chopsticks.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Which tree is the strongest?

Cork, it is also balsa. It is the strongest tree in the world, measured in three categories - stiffness, flexibility and compressibility - stronger than oak and pine.

Despite the fact that balsa is the softest tree, it is not a softwood species (coniferous), but a hardwood (deciduous). The botanical term "hardwood" is used for hardwoods - broad-leaved and mostly deciduous trees that are angiosperms (i.e. flowering, such as balsa) - as opposed to coniferous gymnosperms (i.e., non-flowering, such as pine).

Cork is also very light, though not the lightest in the world. The lightest and most practical tree comes from New Zealand and is called whau (pronounced "faw"). Maori fishermen make floats out of it.

The word balsa means "raft" in Spanish. The cork tree is not afraid of woodworms.

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 ... >>

Ultra-low force measured with a single atom 03.04.2018

Australian physicists led by Dr. Erik W. Streed of Griffith University in Brisbane have measured an ultra-low force of less than 0,0000000000000000001 N by manipulating a single atom.

Scientists took an atom of ytterbium (the 70th element of the Periodic Table, belongs to the group of lanthanides), removed one electron from it and trapped the atom in a "trap" of electric fields. After that, using a laser beam, the atom was cooled almost to the temperature of absolute zero: -273.15 ° C, using a laser. At the same time, the atom emitted radiation, the beams of which were focused using Fresnel lenses.

By studying the movement of an atom in this way, Dr. Strid and colleagues were able to record its response to electric fields, as well as measure the ultra-low force when a photon bounced off a ytterbium atom. It turned out to be equal to 95 zeptonewtons (0,000000000000000000095 N).

This is approximately equal to the force of the gravitational interaction that exists, for example, between two people, one of whom is in Washington, and the other is in Dallas.

The achievement of the Australians, firstly, shows the increased possibilities of modern quantum physics, and, secondly, gives new interesting information about how our world works at this level.
