Focus Description:

On the table there is a large cone-shaped cardboard cover, under which there is a low T-shaped stand. Raise the cap and place an object on the stand. Cover it all with a cap. Raise the hood again. The item has disappeared! There is a “bare” stand on the table. Put something else on it. And again there will be nothing under the hood. Following this, several other small objects may disappear.

Focus The cap under which everything disappears

Focus secret:

The hood has a bottom cut in half, made of either 2 mm plywood or thin plastic (Fig. a). With the help of a spring, it can open inward (up) and return to its original position (close). The T-shaped stand serves to ensure that the object placed on it remains inside the hood when the bottom flaps are lowered. The size of the objects - an apple, a cube, etc. - should be such that they all easily fit inside the cap (Fig. b).

If you are using several apples (similar to fruits and vegetables) as "disappearing items", neither the T-rack nor the rising bottom is needed. A small cone-shaped piece of wood is glued into the upper part of the cone, in the center of which a long, sharp needle is fixed, ending at the level of the base of the cap. In this case, the objects will simply be strung on the needle, appearing higher and higher. Of course, when covering them with a cap you need to press them lightly. Disappearance guaranteed.

It is clear that in both one and the other case the cap does not rotate and does not show the base to the audience (Fig. d).

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 ... >>

Biosensor for highly sensitive detection of molecules 21.01.2021

Imec has unveiled the smallest silicon FinFET that functions as a biosensor. The developers managed to create an ultra-small transistor: the edge width is 13 nm, and the gate length is 50 nm.

Due to their high degree of integration and low cost, field-effect transistors (FETs) have generated great interest for biosensing applications such as DNA, protein, virus and pH detection. When biomolecules bind to the chemically modified dielectric surface of the gate, its threshold voltage changes, resulting in a measurable signal.

Despite the continuous progress of research in this area, biosensitive transistors - BioFET devices - have not yet shown their full potential in the market. Imec has been investigating how an advanced generation of CMOS FET devices (finFET short length XNUMXD gate transistors) can improve BioFET sensitivity. This will help to use applied medicine. Such finFETs offer advantages in terms of high integration and parallelization, but very little is known about their potential as a BioFET.

With its bio finFET devices up to 50 nanometers in length, imec has demonstrated a robust signal for DNA hybridization and detection of tens of DNA molecules on the surface of nanometer-sized FinFETs. Based on experiments and simulations, imec predicts that the detection of single molecules with a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) > 5 will become possible with FinFETs with wavelengths below 70 nm.

An electronic component made of semiconductor material, usually with three leads, capable of driving a significant current in the output circuit from a small input signal, which makes it possible to use it for amplifying, generating, switching and converting electrical signals. Currently, the transistor is the basis of the circuitry of the vast majority of electronic devices and integrated circuits.
