Comments on the article

Plastic masses (plastics) are called solid materials, which at a certain stage of manufacture acquire plastic properties and in this state, products of a given shape can be obtained from them.

These materials are composite substances consisting of a binder, fillers, dyes, plasticizers and other components.

The starting materials for the production of plastic products are pressing powders and pressing materials. In terms of heat resistance, plastics are thermosetting and thermoplastic.

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 ... >>

Robot phone 20.02.2002

The American company Polyconcept has developed a robot phone that can talk, move and perform many other functions. The built-in speech recognition and generation system allows the phone to recognize the owner's commands and respond to him.

Using infrared sensors, the phone detects moving objects and begins to "chat" with the owner if he enters the room. Having determined the number of the incoming call, it reports the name of the caller. The phone can also store significant dates and remind you of them at the right time. Mass sales of the new phone in the United States should begin in June 2002. Japan's KDDI Corporation, together with Sanyo Electric, has developed a video-recording cell phone equipped with a built-in miniature digital camera with the largest 2,2-inch EL display.

The MPEG-4 codec compresses 15 fps video footage into files small enough to send by email. Sale of new cellular terminals will begin in the summer, and their price will be approximately $500.
