What did NASA mean by sending the Juno research station to Jupiter?

Jupiter's moons are named after mythological characters associated with the god Jupiter or Zeus, with the largest moons bearing the names of his lovers. According to myths, Zeus wrapped himself in clouds to hide adultery, but his wife Hera, aka Juno, still saw them from Mount Olympus. Implying this plot, NASA sent the Juno robotic research station to Jupiter in 2011.

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 ... >>

Hearing aid that reads lips even through a mask 09.09.2022

Engineers from the University of Glasgow have created a hearing aid that lip-reads words even through a mask on the interlocutor's face.

The device uses artificial intelligence - the radar scans the movements of the lips and determines what sound they are typical for. For open faces, the accuracy is 95%, for closed faces, 83%.

The new hearing aid will also use traditional sound amplification technology.

The scanner will help people hear well both in normal conditions and in noisy environments. Prior to this, the effect of a cocktail party for the hearing impaired was provided by devices that read lips with the help of a camera. But the video recording of the interlocutors could violate their privacy.

"Approximately 5% of people in the world have a hearing impairment - that's 430 million people. Hearing aids have changed the lives of many of them," said Kammer Abbasi, co-author of the development.
