Ukraine has returned from the US with two bad news, and the least of it is the Tomahawk missiles

by

Last Friday it was supposed to take place a nuclear meeting for the future of war in ukraine. However, what happened in the White House ended up being less a diplomatic exercise than a scene of head-on collision: a president demanding territorial capitulation from an invaded country, a president refusing to give up what he still defends under fire, and a third absent actor marking the remote script of what Trump repeated with a literality that blurred any pretense of mediation. Concessions and threats. He had exclusive the financial times that Trump discarded the maps of the front, repeated that the war was not such but a “special operation” in Putin’s words, and urged Zelensky to accept the loss of Donetsk and the entire Donbas as the price of peace, warning that “If Putin wants, he will destroy you.” The conversation degeneratedapparently in shouts and ultimatum language, with the Ukrainian delegation attempting achieve Tomahawks (denied) while listening to arguments identical to those from Moscow put forward one day before to Trump himself. The American president even verbalized in public, already on Air Force One, the solution of freezing the war “where the lines are,” leaving negotiations on territory “for later.” The Russian proposal. Putin, in his previous call, demanded total surrender of Donetsk (a military objective that Moscow has failed to achieve in eleven years of combined war) offering as a counterpart only parts of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia that it currently controls precariously. For Ukraine, surrender the eastern bastion without combat (key to containing a penetration towards the Dnieper and kyiv) it is unacceptable because it would be equivalent to dynamiting the strategic defense of the entire country and, in psychological and political terms, to legitimizing a violent annexation project active since 2014. Trump and the European reading. trump had hinted Weeks ago that Ukraine could recover “everything and more,” and that Russia was a “paper tiger,” he now maintains that Moscow “has gained property” and should be given some credit. The literal echo of Putin’s points in Trump’s words dissipated among allies the hope of reopening the arms route and revealed that the matrix of the negotiation that Washington is pushing is no longer symmetrical but asymmetrical: downward pressure on the invaded and assumption of the invader’s premise. Russian internal calculation. For Ukrainian analysts, Donetsk’s demand does not so much seek to maximize territorial gain as to induce a sociopolitical fracture within Ukraine: forcing the leadership to consider what society will not tolerate to open an axis of internal delegitimization. Putin, in fact, already knows the social impossibility of barter, and that is why he insists: the desired cost is the erosion of cohesion rather than the line on the map. The Ukrainian position. Zelenskiy confirmed after the meeting that I would agree to freeze the front in its current location as a condition for entering talks, but stressed that there will not be additional delivery of territory. Considers that any negotiation must start with an immediate cessation on the line of contact, not with prior territorial modifications in favor of the aggressor. Trump’s public statements and the prospect of a Trump-Putin meeting in Budapest They do not alter that principle: without prior freezing and without forced concession, there is no viable dialogue. Tactical horizon. Ukraine enters winter under massive attacks on your energy infrastructure while responding by hitting Russian refineries. The lack of long range missiles from Washington after the call with Putin limits its capacity for deep counter-escalation just when Moscow is looking for time, social fatigue and diplomatic fracture. kyiv, in the absence of immediate alternatives, indicates that a ceasefire on current lines would be acceptable as a table key, but not the surrender of Donetsk as an entry passport. Peace on demand. If you will, the scheme that has emerged from this sequence (Putin-Trump call, Trump-Zelensky meeting, territorial barter proposal and appeal to the “agreement” freezing positions) places Ukraine before a conditional peace that recognizes the violence of annexation as a fait accompli and requires the invaded to formalize it. The ukrainian reaction (freeze, negotiate, but not give in) is the last dam between an end to the fire and an end to the State in the political-strategic sense. The meeting did not bring closer an equitable end to the war: it clarified the type of end that certain architecture is willing to accept, even if it does not say it out loud.

75% of the universe is made of unknown matter. Australia has gone to look for her 1 km underground

by

More than a kilometer underground, in an old gold mine in a small Australian town, a group of scientists is building a laboratory that aims to look where no one has been able to look before. Its name is SABER South, and its mission sounds simple but borders on the impossible: detect the particles that make up dark matter, that mysterious component of which, until now, we only sense its existence. The search begins. To understand how we got here, we have to travel back to 1998. That year, an experiment in the underground laboratory of Gran Sasso, in Italy, registered a strange signal which some interpreted as a clue to dark matter. That observation, known as DAMA/NaI, ignited a scientific career that has not stopped since. Now, Australia enters that global race. According to ABC News AustraliaSABER South will be the first dark matter detector in the southern hemisphere and will begin collecting data next year. Its director, physicist Phillip Urquijo, explains that the objective is to reproduce the Italian observations and check whether these signals are real or the product of interference from the environment. Currently, three other teams—in Italy, Spain and South Korea— they are still trying to replicate the original experiment. However, the Australian project has a unique advantage: its location in the southern hemisphere will allow the data to be compared with those from the north and rule out seasonal or local effects. The enigma of the invisible universe. Powered by the University of Melbourne and the ARC Center of Excellence for Dark Matter Particle Physics, seeks to understand the nature of a substance that surrounds everything, but that no one has ever seen. The Standard Model of physics accurately describes the particles and forces we know, but it still leaves too many gaps unfilled. One of the biggest is this: why don’t galaxies disintegrate? What holds them together if everything we see—planets, stars, gas, dust—barely adds up to 5% of the universe? The rest is hidden from view. The physicists They estimate that around 27% would be dark matter and another 68% would be dark energy. Physicist Elisabetta Barberio, director of the ARC Center of Excellence for Dark Matter Particle Physics, puts it bluntly: “Between 75% and 80% of the universe is made of something we can’t see or touch. This experiment brings us closer to discovering what most of the cosmos is really made of.” Therefore, if SABER South detects WIMPs —those hypothetical massive particles that interact weakly—, we would be facing a new form of matter and, perhaps, facing a physics that goes beyond the Standard Model. Simply put: it would demonstrate that almost everything that exists has a tangible structure. And every time humanity has understood a new force or particle, technologies that previously seemed like science fiction have appeared: semiconductors, lasers or magnetic resonance. A mine converted into a cosmic laboratory. The experiment is carried out at the Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory (SUPL), excavated 1,025 meters deep a distance that is equivalent to a protection of almost three kilometers of water, enough to block cosmic rays and natural radiation that could interfere with the measurements. The laboratory is air-conditioned, has filtered air and has data connections linking to the University of Melbourne. At its heart, a room-sized detector houses ultrapure sodium iodide (NaI) crystals. When a WIMP particle collides with an atom in the crystal, it produces a tiny flash of light, so weak that it lasts just a few nanoseconds. These flashes are captured by photomultiplier tubes (PMT), devices capable of transforming light into measurable electrical pulses. The crystals they are submerged in a scintillating liquid—linear alkylbenzene (LAB)—that acts as a “veto”: if the LAB detects light at the same time as the crystal, the event is discarded as background noise. The entire system is sealed inside a low-radioactivity stainless steel tank, surrounded by alternating layers of steel and polyethylene, and monitored from above by a muon detector. A machine that listens to itself. SABER South will operate almost autonomously. According to the technical reports of the projectthe system records in real time the temperature, humidity, detector voltage, nitrogen gas flow and even mine vibrations. If something goes out of normal values, it generates an automatic alert. In addition, human presence will be minimal: scientists will monitor the data remotely and will only access the laboratory for specific maintenance tasks. Even before its construction, the operation of the detector was simulated with the GEANT4 software, a tool also used by NASA and CERN. These simulations allowed us to estimate the background radiation levels and optimize the sensitivity of the system. Each light pulse captured will be analyzed with programs designed to distinguish between noise and possible real signals. Some are not optimistic. In a study by the University of Ottawa, physicist Rajendra P. Gupta poses that what we think we see as dark matter could just be a mathematical effect. Their model suggests that the fundamental constants of the universe could vary with time, and that the so-called “tired light”—the loss of energy of photons as they travel through space—would explain the observations that until now we attribute to an invisible mass. Waiting for the flash. For years to come, SABER South’s crystals will remain in the shadows of the mine, waiting for a flash so faint it could barely illuminate a speck of dust. If that signal is confirmed, it would be the first direct trace of dark matter, the invisible glue that holds galaxies together. But if it doesn’t appear, it will also be an answer: a sign that perhaps the universe works in a way we don’t yet understand. As detailed theoretical physicist Nicole Bellfrom the University of Melbourne: “This project represents the definitive quest to understand the world in which we live.” And perhaps, in that tiny spark beneath the ground, humanity will find the answer to a question it has been pursuing for decades: what is the universe actually made of?

has left Bizum, dataphones and even ATMs out of the game

by

The cloud of Amazon Web Services has suffered a crash in one of its data centers that is affected by a multitude of services worldwide. Alexa, Fortnite, Perplexity, Canva, Roblox… the list is enormous, but it doesn’t stop there. The fall is also making it impossible to pay with a credit card in many stores, through Bizum or even to withdraw money from the ATM. Dataphones. The consequences of the fall of Amazon Web Services are preventing both physical and online purchases. Many businesses are experiencing problems with dataphones because The fall has affected Redsyswhich is the main POS platform in Spain. It is also used on many websites, so it is affecting online payments on many websites such as Tickermaster. Nor take money. Given the problem of dataphones, many people have gone to their bank for cash to be able to pay. This is what our colleague Alberto did, only to find that the ATMs at his bank (BBVA) were not working either. It is not the only bank affected, there have also been failures in ATMs at Unicaja, Bankinter and other entities. Bizum. The Bizum payment service also does not work for many users. At Xataka we have verified that it fails in Sabadell, BBVA, Santander, Revolut and in X there are more users reporting bugs. When the dataphones failed, those who did not have cash tried to pay through Bizum but found that it did not work either. In addition, some banking apps are failing, so in many cases it is not even possible to check if Bizum works. A curiosity: the Santander app gives an error when entering with FaceID on an iPhone, but it let us enter using the code. Irregular. It has not affected everyone or all banks equally. Some ATMs have already been restored and there have been stores where it has been possible to pay without problem or after a couple of attempts, why? Sources from the banking sector have confirmed to Xataka that the AWS failure is being restored, but it takes time for the changes to reach the entire network. In the same way that the solution takes time to deploy, the error did not spread at the same speed, which is why both the impact and the subsequent restoration are being irregular. In development…

proposes to the EU to eliminate it completely

by

We are just a few days away from reaching a ritual that does not feel good at all to our internal clock: time change to winter time. Early next Saturday morning our clocks will be one hour back, which causes many unwanted effects in many people (although you can sleep an hour more). But there is good news for the detractors of this measure: The Government is going to propose that this practice come to an end. The advertisement. Through his Something that for Sánchez has been blunt: “Frankly, I don’t see the point.” That is why the Spanish government will bring to the EU Transport, Telecommunications and Energy Council a proposal based on three key arguments to dismiss this practice, putting an end to it in 2026, which is the deadline for this practice. The three arguments. Over the last few years, different reasons have been pointed out to eliminate this time change forever. The first of this is that the argument that energy savings is important to make this delay in the schedule has become obsolete. According to the Spanish executive himself, there is no solid scientific evidence that demonstrates significant energy savings with current consumption patterns and technology, having a marginal impact that does not offset the effects on our health. And the health of citizens is the second argument they give. When a time change is made, even if only for an hour, our internal biological clock is literally ‘dislocated’, something we know as chronodisruption. This has important negative consequences such as sleep disordersfatigue and a general desynchronization of the body, which has many more negative effects that do not compensate for the benefits that they have wanted to sell us since the 70s. m The third argument is in the opinion of the citizens. In theory, politics should listen to citizens and citizens have spoken loud and clear. The Government is supported by data that shows massive rejection of this time change. Specifically, it is done reference to public consultation that was made in 2018 at the European level on this matter, which resulted in a rejection of 66% among the Spanish community and an overwhelming 84% against at the European level. Now she can be the good one. This is not the first time that Europe has tried to rid itself of this vestige of the 20th century. In 2019, The European Parliament with 63% of the votes in favor gave the green light to this suppression. However, the initiative ran aground in the European Councilthe body where all Member States have the final say and where unanimity is needed. The fact that there was no consensus on which time zone to adopt blocked any progress. So… What has changed? The key is in the calendar. The European directive that regulates the time change has an expiration date: 2026. This opens a perfect window of opportunity to reopen the debate and force a decision before it is necessary to renew it. Spain wants to take advantage of this momentum so that the 27 agree once and for all. The big decision. What schedule do we stay with? Here there are two options: winter time (GMT+1) which aligns us with geography or summer time (GMT +2) which favors afternoons with more light. This is where the real battle is. Researchers have an answer: keep winter time. A global study in which the University of Granada participated warned of the negative biological impact that the time change has, and is committed to the time we are going to enter because “winter time avoids excess light in the afternoon/night, considered harmful to health by altering people’s chronobiotic system”, according to the UGR. In this way, now we have to wait to see if the European Union takes into consideration the proposal launched by Spain to resume this debate and put an end to the hateful (for many) time change.

WhatsApp Business prohibits access to ChatGPT, Luzia and all generalist chatbots in its business API. Only one survives

by

Meta has updated the conditions of use of its WhatsApp business API to prohibit access to third-party generalist chatbots, as reported TechCrunch. The measure, which comes into effect on January 15, 2026, affects tools such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Luzia and Poke. Meta AI From then on, it will be the only generalist AI assistant that will remain operational on the platform. Why is it important. WhatsApp has more than 3 billion monthly active users, which has turned the platform into an unrivaled distribution channel for AI companies. The decision consolidates Meta’s control over the AI ​​experience in its ecosystem and eliminates direct competitors that had free access to its huge user base. The blow to Luzia. The Spanish chatbot, created after the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, went viral precisely due to its integration with WhatsApp. Its star feature—the automatic transcription of voice audio—turned Luzia in a phenomenon. WhatsApp later incorporated this same function natively. That viral hook led Luzia to reach one million users very quickly. At the beginning of this year, in a report in which we analyze his state at that timehad 60 million users in 40 countries, having raised 30 million euros in financing. The startup operates both as a standalone mobile application for iOS and Android… …as a service integrated into WhatsApp, although with more limited functions in this latest version. Between the lines. Meta justifies the change by arguing that generalist chatbots generate an excessive volume of messages that overloads its systems and requires a type of support for which the company is not prepared. However, the context suggests other types of motivations: WhatsApp’s business API is one of the main sources of income for the platform. Meta charges businesses based on different message templates: marketing, utilities, authentication, and support. The problem is that there was no specific category for AI chatbots, which meant that companies like OpenAI or Luzia were accessing WhatsApp’s infrastructure and audience without paying for it. The money trail. During the presentation of results for the first quarter of 2025, Mark Zuckerberg stressed that enterprise messaging was “the next big opportunity” to generate income. “Enterprise messaging should be the next pillar of our business,” he explained. In this context, allowing competitors like OpenAI to distribute their products for free through WhatsApp is not only a technical burden, but a lost business opportunity. Meta has clarified that the ban does not affect companies that use AI as an auxiliary tool to serve their customers. A travel agency operating a customer service bot or a bank with an automated assistant can continue to operate without problems. The key distinction is that AI should be an “incidental or auxiliary” functionality, not the core product. ANDn game. Luzia will have to concentrate its efforts on its native mobile applications. The startup still operates without a defined business model, financing itself exclusively through venture capital. In January 2025, its CEO Álvaro Higes explained that its future strategy will likely include advertisements and sponsored links. ChatGPT, Perplexity and the rest of the generalist chatbots have less than three months to prepare their departure from WhatsApp. For users, the transition will mean migrating to these services’ native apps or settling for Meta AI as the only in-app option.

water as a super energy store

by

That water is the most common substance on Earth It doesn’t mean we know it at all.. In fact, a revolutionary new study has just shown that, under the right conditions, the liquid can take on properties that defy everything we know about it. And the research, published in the journal Naturereveals that water confined in nanometer spaces simultaneously becomes a electrical conductor and in a large energy store. The investigation. This discovery, which seems straight out of science fiction, not only opens the door to a new generation of technologies in energy and biomedicine, but also has an important Spanish seal. It has the key participation of the University of Granada (UGR) in an international team led by the University of Manchester and which has the Nobel Prize in Physics Andre Geim. Dual behavior. Scientists discovered that when water is trapped in channels just one or two nanometers—a space a million times smaller than a millimeter—its electrical behavior is completely transformed. It acquires, at the same time, two properties that until now were considered contradictory. The first of them is extreme electrical conductivity. This means that water becomes such a good conductor of energy that it reaches levels comparable to those of “superionic” liquidswhich means that protons can move through it with great ease. But it also makes it have a large storage capacity comparable to that of “ferroelectric” materials, with a dielectric constant that shoots up to values ​​close to 1,000 when the normal value in water is approximately 80. Contradictory. This discovery is especially striking because it clashes head-on with previous work by the same team, published in Science in 2018. At that time, they concluded that confined water became “electrically dead.” How is it possible that it is now an electrical supermaterial? The answer lies in anisotropy: the properties of water change radically depending on the direction of measurement. The first study measured perpendicular to the layers that confined it; the new one has done it in parallel, revealing its true potential. Technological revolution. Having in a single material, and in water no less, a very high ionic conductivity and an unprecedented energy storage capacity is the dream of any engineer. This dual behavior could be the basis for a new technological era in several fields. One of them is logically energy, since the production of much smaller, safer, more efficient batteries and supercapacitors can be tested with ultra-fast charging times. But it also opens the door to creating a water purification membrane that requires drastically less energy. Spanish contribution. Measuring these properties on such an absurdly small scale was a technical feat, but the raw data obtained were a gibberish of complex signals. This is where the contribution of the University of Granada was decisive. René Fábregas, a researcher at the Department of Applied Mathematics at the UGR, developed a sophisticated mathematical model that allowed the avalanche of experimental data to be correctly interpreted. Their work was the “score” that gave meaning and coherence to the measurements, allowing the amazing properties of confined water to come to light. As pointed out by own statement from the UGRwithout this mathematical model, the discovery would not have been possible.

That Napoleon’s jewels were stolen from the Louvre in seven minutes is not a miracle. It is something much worse for France

by

You have hardly been able to escape to the news of the weekend. It happened when the morning of Paris had not yet acquired the pulse of tourism. Then, a four-man gang climbed the facade of the Louvre as if the very principle of deterrence did not exist. Everything was surprising: there was no night, no disguise of technological ingenuity, no escape into an interior labyrinth. Thus, in the seven minutes it took us humans to have a coffee, the group removed from the heart of the museum the most sensitive remains of the French imperial lineage. The most guarded museum in the world could be crossed like if it were a decoration. The material blow. He told in a detailed report this morning Le Monde that the command arrived on the side of the Seine taking advantage a context of works and the functional anonymity of an urban furniture-mountain. They forced a porte-fenêtre towards the Galerie d’Apollon (the room that condenses the mythology of state sovereignty: joyaux de la CouronneNapoleonic inheritances, diadems and colliers that condense continuity of power) and broke two high security display cases in seconds, collecting eight pieces of heritage value not translatable to the market. The operation lasted around seven minutes. The withdrawal was done along the same vertical axis with the support of two large displacement scooters. In the rush of escape, the criminals dropped the Eugenie’s crownlater recovered damaged. What they took and what they didn’t. The theft affected pieces of the corpus Marie-Amélie/Hortense (including sapphire colliers, earrings and tiaras) and jewelry linked to Marie-Louise. They were unable to extract the diamant-régent (one of the three canonical diamonds of the French canon) nor, as we said, preserve Eugénie’s crown in the flight. What is stolen is, strictly speaking, unmarketable as an entire heritage object, but its dismantling (gold, diamonds, sapphires separately) suppresses cultural and biographical traceability, which is where the irreparable lies. Structural failure. They count national media that the gap was not the cunning of others but the internal predictability: five agents for a room thermodynamically saturated with risk, a relay that reduces to four personnel in the exact strip in which the coup is carried out, a security architecture whose modernization was postponed, and a prioritization curve that armored the Joconde but it decompensated the surrounding heritage periphery. In fact, the runion and staff action (boos to management, demand for an independent audit, denunciation of years of unattended alerts) indicates that the failure was not only big, it was known and was never corrected. Political responses. The assault detonated a immediate response of Macron, of the Interior and of the judiciary, with the affirmation that the authors were going to be captured and the pieces recovered. For its part, the opposition transferred the episode to a frame of state decay: If the Louvre (symbol of the nation’s continuous narrative) is permeable during opening hours, the crack is more than museum-like. In other words, from that prism, public humiliation then operates in two planes: exterior (Country-image) and interior (delegitimization of the chain of command over heritage). The crown of Empress Eugenia de Montijo Criminal logic. We said it at the beginning. The pieces, en bloc, do not circulate. Its economic power lies rather in its deconstruction. The likely incentive is not conventional private collecting (impossible to display) but the supply on demand (unknown contractor, including state or quasi-state) or the cannibalized high margin industrial bulk. According to Le Mondehe recent pattern (Cognacq-Jay, Museum of Nature History, Limoges) shows a vector of criminal professionalization with a logistical window close to civil works, rapid emergence, cold extraction, brief departure and, sometimes, exogenous assignment. The discarding of an item in the flight suggests, perhaps, operational friction, but not global improvisation. Precedents. There is no doubt, France knows famous robberies (1911 the Joconde1976 sword of Charles, 1998 the Corot) but the qualitative leap lies in the practical deactivation of the Louvre taboo during visiting hours. The museum was closed to preserve vestiges and the criminal investigation is open with focus on escape routeabandoned equipment, construction perimeters and cameras. In fact, the hypothesis of a foreign commission is not ruled out, nor is the performance of a cell trained in high-density urban theater patterns. Hunting status. From what is known, the investigation focuses in four authorsscooters and routes already mapped, with cameras analyzed and forensic material in progress. One damaged piece was recovered, but eight remain missing. Plus: the probability of intact recovery decreases with time because the thief’s rational incentive is, a priori, to disassemble, volatilize and recombine. The cultural loss is absolute if the components are assembled in another vector or if the metal is melted and sold through other channels. What the robbery reveals. The reputational implosion now forces us to accelerate what years of internal warnings They did not move: comprehensive shielding, redistribution of personnel due to real risk and not due to tradition, closing of logistical windows associated with civil works, and a redefinition of the security perimeter by layers, not only by a single idol (the Joconde-Gioconda). The only “advantage” of an open-hour robbery with global symbolic production is that it makes it politically unaffordable to return to the previous status quo. If you also want, the episode, rather than pointing out an unusual criminal genius, points to the country itself. The escape in seven minutes did not measure the capacity of the thieves, but rather the exact time in which the State left open the possibility that the largest museum in the world could be treated like the entrance to a bathroom in full public service.

An outage in AWS is causing a multitude of services to fail. It is the condemnation of the cloud

by

If at this time you have noticed that “the internet is not working well”, you are not alone. The problem seems to be caused by the problems that one of Amazon’s large data centers is suffering. Its cloud infrastructure, AWS (Amazon Web Services), is what allows a multitude of platforms to function on the Internet, but if that infrastructure goes down, so do these services. Amazon reports the fall. The website itself that monitors the status of AWS services precisely indicates how there is a “multi-service operational problem in Northern Virginia.” There they point out that multiple services are “Disrupted” and note that they have seen an “Increase in error rates and latencies in several AWS services in the US-EAST-1 region.” Is your Alexa not working for you? Among the affected services is, for example, Amazon Alexa, Amazon’s voice assistant. Some of the members of the Xataka team have noticed, for example, how their Echo was not working correctly, and this is one of the consequences of the fall. Duolingo, Canva, Perplexity… Among those affected are those platforms, but also many others such as Roblox, the aforementioned Amazon Alexa, Amazon’s own e-commerce sites, Fortnite, The New York Times, Apple TV, McDonalds or Life360 are suffering falls. according to DownDetector. Some of those platforms, like Canva, 3 that are explicitly suffering from problems. They are working on it. The fall was detected at 9:11 in the morning, Madrid time, and 40 minutes later this increase in errors was confirmed. Amazon indicates that they are working to mitigate the problem and understand the causes, and will provide a new update around 10:30. In development…
