Machine for thinning flowers in gardens
02.05.2024
In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers.

Advanced Infrared Microscope
02.05.2024
Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>
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 ... >>
| Random news from the Archive The perfect foam will be developed in space
23.07.2012
All chefs know that making the perfect chocolate mousse is half art and half science. One can argue about art, but there is really a lot of science in making delicious foam. For example, the European Space Agency is helping the food industry understand how foam is formed and retained, which can be seen in many types of food and drink, such as meringue and coffee. Consumers want chocolate mousse to retain its texture and flavor from the supermarket to the dinner table. Unfortunately, many favorite products lose foam after a few minutes.
Developing the "ideal" foam on Earth is very difficult, as our planet's gravity literally crushes fragile foam bubbles. Therefore, specialists from the European Space Agency are studying foam in zero gravity, where nothing interferes with the formation and development of bubbles.
ESA has been conducting foam research since the 1980s. More than 10 years ago, a private food company, Nestle, became interested in space agency research. The food industry is very concerned about the quality of the foam, because a stable foam, for example, the same chocolate mousse, creates a pleasant velvety in the mouth, and it gives lightness to coffee.
Creating foam in microgravity is not as easy as it might seem. After several experiments, the scientists came to the conclusion that electromagnetically driven pistons are the best way to inject liquid into a special mold. The first experiments with milk protein for Nestle were carried out during flights along a parabolic trajectory, which provides 20 seconds of weightlessness.
Scientists are now confident that their equipment is working properly and plan to conduct larger experiments aboard the International Space Station. This cannot but please ordinary consumers, because half of the products in our refrigerator are based on foam and emulsion. If ESA specialists manage to create an "ideal" foam, this will allow, without adding "extra" and not always useful ingredients, to extend their shelf life while maintaining taste.
