Focus Description:

Take a knife and run it over your hand - a wound will appear on your hand. After repeated striping, numerous bloody marks will remain on the arm. Now wipe the "bloody" hand with a handkerchief, and all the "wounds" will disappear without a trace.

Focus secret:

The knife was lubricated with a solution of ferric chloride, and the hand was previously coated with colorless potassium thiocyanate. It is enough to hold such a prepared knife on such a prepared hand so that a "bloody" mark appears on it. The handkerchief was moistened with water with a colorless admixture of sodium fluoride, so after wiping his hands from the "bloody" wounds, nothing remained.

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 ... >>

Nanosheets instead of platinum 28.05.2012

Platinum catalysts open up great prospects for alternative energy, for example, in the case of the production of hydrogen from water. However, the high price of platinum makes it difficult to implement the latest technologies on a large scale. Perhaps scientists from the Brookhaven National Laboratory of the US Department of Energy managed to solve this problem.

Scientists have developed a new type of inexpensive electrocatalyst that can efficiently extract hydrogen from water. The catalyst is based on a nickel-molybdenum-nitrogen compound in the form of crumpled sheets of nanometer scale.

Water is an ideal source of pure hydrogen: there is plenty of it on the planet and it does not contain harmful by-product greenhouse gases. The electrolysis of water into oxygen and hydrogen requires an external power source and an efficient catalyst. In this case, the hydrogen yield should be greater than the energy consumption for electrolysis.

In search of an effective catalyst, scientists heated a nickel-molybdenum compound to high temperatures in the presence of nitrogen and suddenly saw that the substance turned into nanosheets. Despite the fact that metal nitrides are widely used, this is the first example of the formation of nanosheets. Nitrogen expanded the lattices of the nickel-molybdenum compound and increased the electron density. Thus, a relatively inexpensive substance in its electronic structure approached noble metals. If these sheets are crumpled, then a catalyst with a large reactive surface area can be obtained.

The new catalyst works almost as well as platinum. In its electrocatalytic activity, it has no equal among other non-precious metal compounds. Moreover, the process of creating nanosheets is simple, scalable and suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.

Although the new catalyst is not the final and ideal solution to the problem of ultra-cheap hydrogen production, nevertheless, it can significantly reduce the cost of hydrogen fuel and equipment for its production.
