Egypt grows cotton in the desert for the first time
Egypt has achieved a significant agricultural milestone by successfully cultivating cotton in desert conditions for the first time.
Thanks to South Sinai’s high temperatures, the first harvest was achieved in just 127 days after planting—significantly faster than typical cotton growing cycles.
Six cotton varieties tested under extreme conditions.
The trials incorporated modern irrigation systems and carefully optimized fertilization to adapt cotton cultivation to the region’s arid environment.
Scientific Facts
Tigers have striped skin, not just striped fur.
If you were to shave a tiger, the skin underneath would have the same distinctive striped pattern as its fur. This pattern is unique to each individual tiger, similar to human fingerprints. The stripes are a result of pigmentation in the skin and serve as camouflage, helping them blend into their environment while hunting.
There are many animals that have these patterns on their skin or fur—including tigers, zebras and the giraffe, just to name a few. But the reason behind this fact has always remained unclear, although biologists have previously shown that in some cases, they are for camouflage or to attract mates.
History of Science
Helicopter
The Russian-American aviation pioneer Igor Sikorsky (1889–1972) is considered to be the “father” of helicopters, not because he was the first to invent it, but because he invented the first successful helicopter upon which further designs were based.
One of aviation’s greatest designers, Sikorsky began work on helicopters as early as 1910. By 1940, Sikorsky’s successful VS-300 had become the model for all modern single-rotor helicopters. He also designed and built the first military helicopter, the XR-4, which he delivered to the U.S. Army in 1941
