Focus Description:

Take a small cube out of your pocket and hold it in your left fist. Following him, slip two silk handkerchiefs taken from your breast pocket one after the other into your fist. And now open your fist: only a cube will appear in the palm of your hand - the handkerchiefs have disappeared without a trace.

Move the cube from your left hand to your right, and the cube will disappear from your right hand. Dip your left hand into the inner pocket of your jacket and remove the missing items from it, with the two scarves connected at the ends to each other, and between them there will be a cube.

Focus secret:

To demonstrate the trick, you need two identical scarves measuring 15 x 15 cm, a hollow cube with a hole 1 cm in diameter, as well as two more exactly the same scarves and a cube interconnected (Fig. a).

Before showing the trick, put two separate handkerchiefs in the breast pocket of your jacket; a cube with a hole - in the right side pocket, and two scarves connected with the cube - in the inner right pocket. Take out the cube and, covering the hole with the thumb of the right hand so that the audience cannot see it, hold the cube with the hole up in the left fist.

Alternately putting the handkerchiefs into the left fist, in fact, put them inside the cube. When you then open your hand, the audience will see only the die; moreover, he should lie in the palm of his hand with the hole down, so that this time the audience would not notice the hole: it would seem to them that both handkerchiefs have disappeared.

You can show the disappearance of a cube with handkerchiefs hidden inside it as follows. Hold the cube between the thumb and middle fingers of your left hand. Place the palm of your right hand, with which you seem to pick up the cube, on the fingers of your left hand (Fig. b).

Covering the cube for a moment with the fingers of your right hand, let it fall into the palm of your left hand, and immediately clench your right hand into a fist and take it aside.

It will seem to the audience that the cube is now in the right hand. In fact, it will remain hidden in the palm of the left.

Open the fingers of the right hand and show the audience that the cube from the right hand has disappeared. Without turning your left hand with your palm towards the audience, lower it into the inner right pocket and, leaving the cube with a hole there, take it out of your pocket and show the audience two handkerchiefs connected to the cube. It will seem to the viewers that these are the same objects that have disappeared before.

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 ... >>

The physical theory of superconductivity is called into question 20.11.2019

Scientists at Stanford University have discovered a phenomenon in superconducting metals that has not yet been explained. It questions the current physical theory of superconductivity and requires quantum computers to describe it.

The researchers studied the transition phase in the Bi-2212 (Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x) superconductor using angular resolution photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES). Intense ultraviolet light knocks electrons out of the sample, and the behavior of electrons in the metal is determined by the energy and speed of the particles.

Superconductivity is caused by electrons which, below a certain critical temperature, form Cooper pairs and can pass through the crystal unhindered. Above this limit, a "strange" phase appears in high-temperature superconductors, in which electrons do not behave as independent particles, as in ordinary metals, but seem to gather in collectives.

In addition to temperature, the degree of doping, that is, the presence of impurities in the metal, affects the phase transition. At a relatively high temperature, the transition between normal and "strange" metal occurs at an impurity content of 19-20 percent. The researchers showed that in this case, the distribution of electron energy changes abruptly. If the temperature is lowered to the superconducting phase, then the jump is smoothed out, and the properties begin to change gradually.

According to a physical principle called a quantum phase transition, this should not happen: a jumplike character should also occur at low temperatures. According to scientists, the phenomenon can be explained by quantum entanglement, and the behavior of particles can only be satisfactorily described using a quantum computer.

Superconductors are materials that conduct electricity with zero resistance. This phenomenon was first discovered at very low temperatures (a few degrees above absolute zero), but then superconductivity was achieved at higher temperatures (92 kelvin).
