Kotovnik Kopetdag

Lamiaceae family - Lamiaceae.

Perennial plant 20-65 cm high with a thick rhizome.

Stem sharply tetrahedral, more or less densely pubescent with short curly hairs. The leaves are yellow-green, thin, mostly with thin veins below, the lower ones are oblong-ovate, obtuse, crenate, the rest are lanceolate. Inflorescence loose, paniculate. The flowers are blue. The fruit is a nut.

Blooms in May - June. The fruits ripen in the second half of June.

It grows in steppe and meadow cenoses.

Occurs in the mountainous zone of the central Kopetdag, Turkmenistan.

The plant contains an essential oil of unknown chemical composition. All above-ground parts of the plant have a pleasant smell and a bitter taste. When dried, the taste is preserved, and the smell becomes much weaker.

Kotovnik Kopetdag is not of great economic importance, but its essential oil is used in medicine and cosmetology, as well as in perfumery and aromatherapy. The plant can also be used for ornamental purposes due to its beautiful flowers and unusual leaf shape.

The aerial part before fruiting can be recommended as a spice in cooking.

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

See, Smell, Touch - Tomorrow's TV 25.11.2005

According to Japanese experts, in 2020, real 3D television will settle in homes.

A new generation TV will allow you to even smell and interact with the projected image. The video will be output at the level required by the user through the screen installed in the floor. Just imagine that while watching a cooking program, we will be able to feel the dishes being prepared in real time. Or, touch the advertised item, such as a soft leather sofa.

Of course, the technologies described so far seem like science fiction. However, 3D projected image developments are reported regularly. Devices for creating odors have also been described a few years ago, although many difficulties have arisen in their practical implementation. The transmission of touches can be carried out through ultrasound, electrical stimulation and directed air flows.

The Japanese government is seriously interested in the creation of 3D television, also setting a condition to improve the system of translation from different languages and search for information on the Internet.

In April next year, the country's research centers will receive $ 9 billion, which will mark the start of a completely new generation of TV. We hope that, despite the frantic pace of technology development, the idea of 3D television will not become obsolete, and that some electrodes connected directly to the brain will not replace the usual ways of receiving information.
