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 Opaque transparency
03.12.2017
The absorption of electromagnetic radiation, including light, by opaque materials occurs due to the transformation of electromagnetic energy inside them into heat or other forms of energy. Charcoal and black paint look black precisely because in these materials the energy of the incident light is almost completely absorbed. Other materials, such as glass or quartz, do not absorb light and therefore appear transparent.
An international team of scientists have theoretically discovered an extremely unusual optical effect: under certain conditions, a material that does not have absorption should absorb light.
Modern electrodynamics makes it possible to mathematically describe the process of light passing through a transparent material. At the same time, according to a given incoming electromagnetic field (incident radiation), theorists calculate the output scattered field. Investigating theoretically the passage of light with different characteristics through a transparent material, the authors of the work discovered an effect that, by their own admission, was unexpected for them.
If the intensity of the incident light is changed in a special way in time, then it will no longer completely pass through the transparent material, at least for a while. There will still be no absorption, but the energy of the incident light will partially accumulate inside the transparent material, not leaving it until a certain value is reached. In particular, if the intensity of the incident light is increased exponentially over time (i.e., proportional to et), then all the energy of the incident light will accumulate inside the transparent material. From the outside, it will look perfectly absorbing light. The researchers called this effect virtual absorption. When the exponential increase in the amplitude of the incident wave stops, all the energy "locked" inside the layer immediately begins to leave it.
The effect discovered theoretically can have important practical applications for flexible control of light propagation and storage, creation of low-energy memory devices and optical modulation. It will allow the development of optical memory devices that will store information for a short time without loss and release it at the right time.
