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 ... >>

Increased sodium-ion battery capacity 11.09.2021

Scientists at Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden) have used graphene to create a new type of anode for sodium-ion batteries, making them comparable in capacity to lithium-ion batteries.

Sodium-ion batteries are not used as often in mobile devices, since traditional lithium-ion batteries offer 2 times the energy density - 285 kWh / kg.

Sodium-ion battery (Na-ion) is a type of electric battery that has almost identical energy characteristics to a lithium-ion battery, but the cost of materials used in it is much lower. The big advantage of sodium-ion batteries is that they can be safely discharged to zero, which makes them safer to transport and store.

The specialists found that with a new type of graphene electrode, a sodium-ion battery is able to demonstrate similar performance: this material is able to hold the same number of sodium ions.

Sodium-ion batteries are more stable and have a lower cost - in electric vehicles and electronics they will prove useful, while lithium-ion batteries can be dangerous when overheated.

For fast charging and high battery capacity, ions must easily enter the anode material. The sodium-ion battery cathode is made from sodium oxides, and a carbon-based material is used as the anode. It can be activated carbon, but it is expensive and it is difficult to produce such cathodes. Graphite is an inexpensive analogue, but sodium ions cannot move efficiently between graphene layers.

To overcome this problem, scientists have created a new material that consists of alternating layers of graphene and benzene. The benzene layer increases the distance between the graphene layers, allowing sodium ions to move freely. In addition, benzene can form a strong bond with sodium ions.

According to the authors of the project, the capacity of such a battery is comparable to that of a lithium-ion battery: with pure graphite, the energy density is 30 mAh / g, and with the new material it rises to more than 330 mAh / g.
