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 ... >>

ultrasonic magic wand 12.01.2015

"Wingardium Leviosa" - such a spell was used by characters from the fairy tale series about Harry Potter to make objects fly through the air with a wave of a magic wand. But while writers and directors come up with new fantastic stories, science, step by step, brings to life things that seemed impossible before. This time it was about moving objects through the air, or levitation. Levitation can be called such a physical effect in which an object without visible support is or moves in the air. For example, if an ordinary magnet is placed over a superconducting material that was previously cooled to a low temperature, then a "miracle" will happen - the magnet will float freely in the air at a low altitude. This is due to the special behavior of the magnetic field in superconductors.

Such a phenomenon, although very curious, is of little use for practical use: the need to move magnets over a superconductor cooled to the temperature of liquid nitrogen will not arise for everyone. It is a completely different matter if a method is invented to move any objects contactlessly, regardless of their nature. Such an invention will be widely demanded in those areas where the extreme purity of materials is important. For example, in pharmaceuticals or microelectronics: there any extra contact with the material can bring unwanted impurities into it. Physicists from the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil have proposed a way to make small objects not only float in the air, but also move them in the right direction.

To overcome the force of gravity, the researchers used the pressure exerted by sound waves. You can feel the power of sound if you stand in front of a powerful speaker operating at full volume. Sound is a vibration that occurs in any medium. It can be air, water or solid materials. There are no sound waves in space, because there is no medium in which they can propagate: vacuum is a silent void. From a physical point of view, the transmission of sound in air is the movement of areas of high and low pressure. Pressure fluctuations create a force that can act on mechanical objects. This is how our ear is arranged, where the sounds of the world around us are transmitted to the brain through vibrations of the eardrum.

Now we need to remember one more feature of oscillations - the existence of standing waves. The simplest example: if you fix one end of a long rope, and move the other up and down at a constant frequency, then some points of the rope will remain motionless. The formation of such a standing wave occurs due to the superposition of two waves - the original, created by the movement of the free end of the rope, and the reflected wave. The effects that arise when sound waves are superimposed on each other formed the basis of the developed method of ultrasonic levitation. The emitter emits ultrasonic waves that are reflected from a surface located at some distance. The radiated and reflected waves add up, forming something like a corridor, in which areas of high and low pressure alternate. If an object falls into the area of a standing ultrasonic wave, the energy of the waves is enough to compensate for the force of gravity, and we observe the effect of levitation.

Despite the fact that the method of ultrasonic levitation began to develop a few years ago, it was not easy to achieve a stable hold of objects in the air. For a long time it was not possible to create a stable standing ultrasonic wave of sufficient power: a slight movement of the emitter or reflector - and the effect disappeared. To solve this problem, Marco Andrade and his colleagues used the principle of standing wave formation based on multiple reflections. They made a special concave ultrasonic reflector with which they managed to achieve levitation of small plastic balls without fine-tuning the system. Even if you hold the wave reflector in your hand, the levitation effect does not disappear - until recently it seemed impossible. This technology has much more chances for real application.
