Focus Description:

Show the audience both hands - there is nothing in them. Lift a newspaper sheet with one hand and show it from both sides - the sheet is like a sheet. Then punch the sheet with the other hand and pull the colored handkerchief halfway out of the hole.

Unfold the newspaper sheet on the other side and pull out the other half of the same colored handkerchief from the same hole. Then, in the same way, punch the sheet in other places and pull out other colored scarves in the same way from the holes formed. The audience is, of course, surprised. And really - where did the handkerchiefs come from?

Focus secret:

First of all, you need to have two identical newspaper sheets. Thin scarves are folded in half and superimposed in different parts of the sheet. They are outlined around the edges with a pencil. The scarves are then removed, and in places corresponding to the place where the ends of the scarf were, cross-shaped incisions are made with a sharp razor.

Focus Scarfs from a newspaper sheet

Then the scarves are placed in place and a second newspaper sheet is glued on top with the same cuts in the appropriate places. The newspaper is glued along its edges and along the edges of scarves. Now such a newspaper sheet can be shown from two sides, and, pretending to be punching it, alternately pull out the ends of the scarves from the cuts. So all the scarves appear before the audience.

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 ... >>

Coffee reduces the risk of liver disease 29.06.2022

An international team of scientists has brought good news about coffee, with a recent study showing how the beloved beverage is associated with impressive health benefits, such as a reduced risk of liver disease.

Researchers often find that coffee consumption is associated with lower blood sugar levels, improved cognition, protection from age-related dementia, and even longer life. All these relationships are correlational, not causal, but it is absolutely certain that coffee can at least improve our mood from 8 am to noon.

A new study has focused on why our bodies feel so good from coffee (and tea, which also contains caffeine). In most scientific papers on the effect of coffee and tea on human health, it is the correlation that is indicated. It would not be superfluous to find out the details, scientists from the Netherlands, Great Britain, Germany, France and the USA decided. They looked at epigenetic changes, i.e. influence on the genes of external factors (in this case, tea and coffee).

“Epigenetics are DNA modifications that do not affect the main sequence, but accumulate in gene expression,” write the authors of the study in a preprint on BioRxiv, the scientific portal of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. “Epigenetics is a mechanism for the indirect influence of dietary and lifestyle factors on disease risk."

The study involved 15 volunteers of European and African American origin. The large sample size and multi-ethnic contributions were the driving force behind this work.

By controlling for other factors influencing epigenetics, the researchers focused on associations specific to coffee and tea consumption and found an association with reduced risk of obesity and cirrhosis of the liver, as well as the development of cardiovascular disease.

The process by which caffeine affects our genes is called DNA methylation. The more scientists learn about this process, the more they see it as key to managing "epigenetic switches" in the growing list of diseases and disorders catching up with humans as we age.

"Overall, the study shows that coffee consumption is associated with varying levels of DNA methylation and that associated epigenetic variation may explain the mechanism of coffee's effect in determining disease risk," the researchers said.
