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 ... >>

flight of spiders 17.03.2022

Never given wings by nature, many species of spiders have instead developed an uncanny ability to take to the skies using a few short strands of web projected from the back of their torso. How do they do it?

To fly, spiders can use electric fields. This mechanism seems fantastic, but scientists have confirmed its possibility in theory.

Exactly how this method of invertebrate flight works has never been completely clear, although historically biologists have speculated that it probably has something to do with eddies of warming air near the Earth's surface.

However, there is an alternative explanation for this phenomenon, which is gaining more attention as the evidence to support it accumulates. Instead of flying on air currents, spiders could take off into the sky on electric fields.

Research conducted by scientists from the University of Bristol has shown that the electric fields generated by weather events are strong enough to lift a single electrostatically charged strand of a web and a spider hanging from it off the ground.

Scientists have created a mathematical model that describes the electromagnetic interactions around several hanging threads of the web. This brought new important details to the discussion. The model does not mean at all that electric charges are necessarily responsible for the phenomenon of spider flight. But the work does answer a lot of questions about how physical laws work in nature.

The fact that spiders can increase their web charge slightly to trap prey (and potentially collect pollutants) has been the focus of experimental research for some time now. But in an experiment, it is almost impossible to measure the charge of a thread with the help of modern technologies, so in the study, scientists limited themselves to a mathematical model. It is possible that in the future they will be able to prove it in practice.
