Hinges French top knot on the tops of the masts of sailing ships they served for fastening backstays, which were tied into them with a clew knot.

The free ends of the knot were tied with a straight knot and thus a third loop was obtained, which was used to fasten the stay. One knot simultaneously fastened three standing rigging gear.

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 ... >>

The threat of space debris to the Earth's magnetic field 01.05.2024

More and more often we hear about an increase in the amount of space debris surrounding our planet. However, it is not only active satellites and spacecraft that contribute to this problem, but also debris from old missions. The growing number of satellites launched by companies like SpaceX creates not only opportunities for the development of the Internet, but also serious threats to space security. Experts are now turning their attention to the potential implications for the Earth's magnetic field. Dr. Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics emphasizes that companies are rapidly deploying satellite constellations, and the number of satellites could grow to 100 in the next decade. The rapid development of these cosmic armadas of satellites can lead to contamination of the Earth's plasma environment with dangerous debris and a threat to the stability of the magnetosphere. Metal debris from used rockets can disrupt the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Both of these systems play a key role in protecting the atmosphere and maintaining ... >>

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Rapidly charged quantum battery 28.03.2022

Scientists from South Korea have developed a quantum technology that will speed up the charging of an electric car by 200 times.

Researchers at the Center for Theoretical Physics of Complex Systems at the Institute for Basic Sciences (IBS) have turned to quantum entanglement to speed up the relatively slow charging of electric vehicle batteries. They suggested a way to charge all the energy cells at the same time.

Despite the rapid development of the electric vehicle industry, their batteries still have a lower energy density than combustible fuel, and driving range is very dependent on this. Currently, it takes about 10 hours to fully charge the battery at home, and when connected to the fastest charging stations, the process takes 20-40 minutes. Waiting times remain a big disadvantage of electric vehicles compared to diesel or petrol vehicles, which take seconds to refuel.

The researchers proposed a specific way to develop a quantum battery, and also determined the approximate rate of its charging. According to their conclusion, if in classical batteries the maximum charging rate increases linearly with the number of elements, then in quantum batteries it increases quadratically, that is, many times at once.

For example, they proposed a car battery containing about 200 cells - the use of quantum entanglement will increase the charging speed by about 200 times compared to classical technology. As a result, the charging time in the home garage will be reduced from 10 hours to 3 minutes, and at specialized stations - from half an hour to a few seconds.

Quantum charging can be widely applied not only to electric vehicles, but also to consumer electronics. In addition, they can be used in future fusion power plants, which require large amounts of energy to charge and discharge.
