Focus Description:

In your hands is a wicker basket. Say the "spell" and a snake will slowly crawl out of the basket, swaying in front of your face. Look closely at her. The "hypnotized" snake will obediently sink into the basket.

Focus secret:

This trick uses a fake snake. To demonstrate, you need to make a papier-mâché dummy of the right hand, which is attached to the roller ("hand") of foam rubber. The brush is attached to the wall of the basket, and the roller is passed through the sleeve. The audience thus gets the impression that you are holding the basket with both hands.

Focus snake in the basket

In fact, the basket is only supported by the left hand. The right one is pushed inside the basket, which has no bottom. A cloth stocking is put on this arm - this is the cover of the "snake" with the corresponding coloring. The snake's head can be glued from foam rubber in the form of a mitten - the thumb will move the lower jaw, the remaining fingers will support the head.

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 ... >>

Development of antibiotic resistance 04.01.2017

Bacteria can survive treatment with antibiotics if there are enough resistant cells around them that produce special factors that resist treatment. This is a new look at how the microbial environment can resist antibiotics.

The study was conducted using slow-motion microscopy, tested in computer simulations and in mice. "Working with mice, we have seen that antibiotic-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria are not killed by chloramphenicol treatment, but animals are infected with resistant bacteria," Robin Sorg, a microbiologist at the University of Groningen, said in a statement.

This showed that resistance genes were being transferred. Moreover, the data obtained are confirmed by the facts known from clinical practice that antibiotic-susceptible bacteria sometimes come from patients who have not been helped by antibiotic treatment. Now it is clear why this is happening.

It turned out that susceptible bacteria can survive in the presence of resistant bacteria, which can eventually crowd them out. "We know that the use of antibiotics plays into the hands of selection for resistance. But we don't fully understand this process and why antibiotic resistance can develop so quickly. Single-cell studies will help unravel these questions," Sorg said.

According to the author of the work, the whole point is that cells susceptible to antibiotics only stop growing, but do not die. Many antibiotics use the mechanism of cell division or actively metabolizing cells. These cells have time to take resistance genes from the environment. Sorg believes that if personalized medicine is used, then it is necessary to check the patient for the presence of resistant, but non-pathogenic microbes, before prescribing antibiotics. Such microbes increase the risk of transmitting pathogens to them.
