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 ... >>

Modified hydrogen peroxide instead of antibiotics 10.04.2019

Hydrogen peroxide can become a new answer to the old question of how to effectively deal with even the most aggressive and unusual viral bacteria that continue to evolve and become more and more resistant to modern antibiotics.

Specialists from the Engineering Laboratory at Boston University in the USA presented the results of their new and rather unusual experiment, which considered the possibility of modifying hydrogen peroxide for use on viral bacteria, thus destroying their membrane and leading to their immediate death without the use of antibiotics.

The fact is that most of the so-called MRSA bacteria, which bacteriologists around the world are fighting against, have a rather pronounced and strong ability to constantly adapt and adopt entire genetic chains from other bacteria that have previously been adapted to certain antibiotics. That is why specialists from Boston University decided to conduct a series of tests using hydrogen peroxide on several strains of the Staphylococcus aureus virus - and hydrogen peroxide was previously treated with blue light, after which it was directed to viral bacteria.

After observing their reaction, scientists found that with this treatment, hydrogen peroxide was able to destroy up to 99,9% of MRSA bacteria, indicating a promising possibility for its use as an alternative to modern antibiotics. Moreover, in this way, scientists managed to destroy up to 90% of bacterial cultures that could not adapt to the compound.

The rest was similarly weakened by the action of modified hydrogen peroxide, but still develops a certain immunity over time, thereby requiring more drastic measures in relation to working with oneself. However, experts still have some additional research and experiments in this field, and therefore it remains to wait for the end of the preliminary stage of testing.
