Instant transformation of liquid into crystals. The Secret of Focus

Focus Description:

Uncork the bottle with the “magic” liquid. Cast a magic spell. Before the eyes of the audience, the liquid will instantly turn into a solid mass of crystals sparkling with all the colors of the rainbow.

Focus secret:

This trick is done with mirabilite crystals. This substance called “bitter salt” is widely used in medicine. For the demonstration you will need 100 g of mirabilite.

Boil three-quarters of a glass of water in a clean saucepan, then, without removing from the heat, gradually add this substance into the water, stirring all the time. The salt will begin to settle to the bottom. Slowly and carefully fill a large bottle with the hot solution and seal it tightly. When the resulting supersaturated solution has cooled, you can begin performing the trick.

Having uncorked the bottle, quietly throw another crystal of “bitter salt” into it - and the required transformation will immediately occur. You can use a “magic wand” - a pencil on which several grains of mirabilite are pre-fixed.

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 ... >>

Monkey tools 05.11.2007

Canadian and German archaeologists have unearthed in Côte d'Ivoire a "workshop" of ancient chimpanzees who cracked nuts 4300 years ago using a stone hammer and a wooden anvil.

The fact that these tools belonged to a chimpanzee, and not to a person, is proved by the size of the stones, which are too large for a human hand, and the shells of nuts found right there, inedible for humans. In addition, the most ancient traces of human presence in this region date back only to the beginning of our era.
