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 ... >>

Tracking satellites and space debris 26.02.2022

The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) this week unveiled a prototype satellite collision avoidance system called the Open-Architecture Data Repository (OADR). It should help in tracking potentially dangerous situations, which will be especially useful against the backdrop of the rapid growth in the number of satellites in Earth orbit and space debris.

The OADR system is a cloud-based database that collects data on the movements of all satellites and warns in a timely manner if there is a possibility of a collision of any vehicles and space debris. It is assumed that OADR will receive data from numerous scanning facilities located on the surface of the planet. After processing the received data, the system will form a picture of what is happening in orbit, which will be used to assess the likelihood of hazardous situations. If necessary, OADR will notify satellite constellation operators, giving them a few days to correct the course of the vehicles to avoid collision.

The authors of the project plan to eliminate a number of shortcomings in the automation of data collection and forecasting processes. If the further development of the project goes according to the plan, then the OADR system will be put into practice in 2024, and in 2025 it will be fully finalized and ready for operation.

It's no secret that near-Earth space is getting crowded. At present, at least 23 thousand objects with a diameter of 10 cm or more have already been put into orbit. Their number is growing rapidly and, according to some estimates, by 2030 the number of such objects will grow to 57 thousand. Therefore, the need for a system like OADR is already quite large.
