Focus Description:

The magician goes on stage and performs interesting tricks with the “magic” wand: rotating his hand in a horizontal plane, he releases the wand, but it does not fall, but begins to rotate in the air under the artist’s palm at some distance from it.

Then the stick either rotates parallel to the performer’s palm in a vertical plane, or hangs vertically under the open palm, pressing one end to the illusionist’s fingers, as if they were magnetic.

Focus secret:

The “magic” wand will obediently rotate in any planes near your palm and stick to it, as if magnetized, only after careful and repeated rehearsals. But the effect this pass-through trick has on the audience is worth the effort. The fact is that the artist tied a black, non-shiny thread to the middle of the stick and, using a sliding loop at the other end of the thread, attached it to the middle finger of his hand (Fig. 44). So he went on stage.

At first, the thread was hidden in the magician’s hand, and then his hand was constantly in motion, and therefore the thread was not visible against the background of the artist’s black suit. It is very important to find the correct length of thread so that the wand “sticks” to the magician’s fingers. Having finished the tricks, the artist easily removes the sliding loop from his middle finger and hides the wand in his jacket pocket.

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 ... >>

Yeast fungi will be sent into outer space 25.05.2019

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) plans to send living organisms into deep space next year. NASA employees are working on a 14 kg BioSentinel spacecraft that will send two types of yeast cells into orbit around the Sun, one more resistant to radiation than the other.

BioSentinel and 12 other microsatellites are scheduled to be launched into orbit in mid-2020 by the Space Launch System (SLS) launch vehicle as part of the Artemis 1 research program as a payload. Scientific information from it, as expected, will be received over a period of 9-12 months. During the entire flight, scientists will monitor the reproduction of yeast fungi and at the same time monitor the condition of exactly the same samples located on the International Space Station, where the radiation level is much lower than in outer space.

In addition, the nuclear physics laboratory in Brookhaven, New York, will expose yeast samples to very high levels of radiation, Space.com reported.

"It is important that the process of DNA repair in yeast fungi is in many ways similar to the same processes in the human body," Space.com cited the opinion of NASA experts. "The results of research on BioSentinel will play a very important role in assessing the effects of radiation exposure on organisms."

The SLS will launch the Orion manned spacecraft, which is currently under development. It is planned that it will make its first flight without a crew using a new carrier in 2020: it will fly around the Moon and return to Earth. Among the microsatellites that are expected to be launched into orbit during the first launch of the launch vehicle are Lunar Flashlight and Lunar IceCube, designed to search for traces of water ice on the surface of the Moon, as well as a microsatellite with a solar sail, which will be directed to one of the converging with Earth asteroids.
