Spend more on R&D than any of its rivals

by

Intel has not just lifted. With An intractable nvidia in the segment of artificial intelligence and with a Unattainable TSMCthe company tries to adapt to The new times. The hope is that the latest capital injections help: in recent days we have seen how Softbank invest 2,000 million euros euros in it and then the United States government has bought 10% of Intel to save it from burning. However, the company Directed by Lip-Bu Tan He is putting all the meat on the grill to try to do it. It is demonstrated by the Spectacular amount of money invested in your R&D department. The surprising thing is not to invest a lot of money; That is expected in a technological company. The really surprising thing is that he invests much more than his rivals. Intel invest more than anyone in R&D, but be careful: their rivals squeeze the step An analysis by Techinsights cited In Korea Joongang Daily It collects the financial results of Intel and some of its rivals in 2024 to study its investments in R&D. According to these data, these were those amounts for various companies: Intel: 16,546 million dollars (PDF) Nvidia: 12,914 million dollars (Nvidia) Samsung: 9,500 million dollars (Joongang) TSMC: 6.5 billion dollars (Joongang) AMD: 6,456 million dollars (PDF) That means that Intel invests 28% more than Nvidia – which right now has a much greater dimension – 47% more than Samsung and nothing less than 156% more than AMD or TSMC, which despite the most important company in the world in the manufacture of semiconductors does not dedicate more money than its rivals to innovate. The thing becomes even more interesting if we compare these R&D investments with the income of these companies. In 2024 Intel invested 31% of its net incomewhile AMD invested 26%. Nvidia only invested 10% – but not to make money with their AI products – but here the truly striking is that Samsung does not seem so interested in its R&D department, because it only invested 4% of its net income. It is also important to note that in AMD they do not have their own production plants such as the rest of their competitors, so although their investment in R&D was the lowest of these four companies, all that investment went to the chip design in full. The problem for Intel is that its growth in investment in R&D grew only 3.1% that in 2023. Compared Samsung grew by 71.3% more, NVIDIA 47% more and TSMC 8.8% more. They all seem to press the step more than Intelwhich raises just the opposite. In fact it is known if in That cuts policy which is carrying out Lip-Bu so will also end up cuts in the division and cost of R&D, but It seems possible that it is so. If so, this 2025 NVIDIA may end up being the company that spends the most in R&D, especially to try not to lose its privileged position in the AI ​​market.

It will be one of the longest lunar eclipses of the decade

by

The Romans said “Origo” to refer to the origin, so they used “orior” as a verb born. From there came “Ortus” for the birth of the sun, better known as dawn. “Ortho” in Spanish is defined as the exit of a star by the horizon. And this Sunday, With the lunar eclipsethe moon will have a beautiful ortho. A total moon eclipse. Every year there are at least two lunar eclipses, but they are not always total. This Sunday, September 7, will be one of the longest in the decade, with a totality of 82 minutes visible from most Asia. It can also be seen already started From most of Spainwith the moon very low on the horizon. But it will not be visible from America. A lunar eclipse occurs when the earth is aligned between the sun and the moon in full moon phase, and its shadow is projected on the lunar disc. The earth’s shadow has two zones: the gloom, which darkens the moon subtly, and the umbra, which blocks sunlight. In the case of a partial eclipse, the umbra looks like a bite, and in the case of a total eclipse, the full moon darkens. A blood moon. During the totality phase, The moon can become redwhat is known as blood moon. Although the umbra blocks the sunlight, the Earth’s atmosphere refracts solar light filtered towards the satellite. In this case, the blue wavelengths are dispersed by a physical phenomenon known as Rayleight dispersion, hence the red tones predominate. The blood moon this Sunday will reach its most intense point at 20:11. If you are in Spain, the moon will be totally eclipsed, reddish color. Even so, with a clear horizon, you can see the best part of the show, especially from the Balearic Islands and the Mediterranean coast of the Peninsula. On the other hand, visibility will be low to the west, particularly in the Canary Islands and Western Galicia, where only the partial phase of the end of the eclipse can be seen. The full schedule of the eclipse. In the peninsular hour (UTC+2), the Moon will enter a gloom (slight darkening) on ​​Sunday at 17:28. The partial phase of the eclipse (the bite) will begin to be seen at 18:27, but only in the countries where the moon is already out. The totality phase (the moon is completely inside the Umbra) will begin at 19:31 and will end at 20:53. Then the partial phase will be repeated until 21:56 and the Penumbral until 22:55. What will be seen from Spain. The visible phases will depend on whether the moon is whether or not where you are. In Madrid, the Moon will leave at 20:35, so they can be seen about 18 minutes. In general, the moon will leave the horizon totally eclipsed and dyed red from most of the country, with the exception of western Galicia and Canary Islands, where only a partial eclipse will be seen. In Barcelona: 41 minutes of totality from 20:11 In Valencia: 32 minutes of totality from 20:20 In Seville: 10 minutes of totality from 20:42 In Zaragoza: 28 minutes of totality from 20:24 In Malaga: 17 minutes of totality from 20:35 In Murcia: 30 minutes of totality from 20:22 In Palma: 44 minutes of totality from 20:08 In Las Palmas: only partial from 20:15 (UTC+1) In Bilbao: 18 minutes of totality from 20:34 In Valladolid: 12 minutes of totality from 20:39 In Vigo: only partial from 20:56 In Gijón: 7 minutes of totality from 20:45 Where you have to look. Unlike a solar eclipse, seeing a lunar eclipse is totally safe with the naked eye and with prismatic. Since in Spain it coincides with the exit of the moon, it will be best to look for a place with the horizon is clear (a beach of the coast, a viewpoint, a roof …) and wait for the satellite to rise, already eclipsed and red, for the sky.

In Asturias someone paid 37,000 euros for the most expensive cheese on the planet. Then he fell to the ground

by

There are expensive cheeses, very expensive cheeses and then there are the cheeses that are sold by the whopping 14,800 euros per kiloas they just checked in Asturias. There, in the town of Arenas, they just proclaimed the most expensive cheese on the planet, a piece of 2.5 kilos with Denomination of Protected Origin of Cabrales that, after the Plant of the judges, has reached neither more nor less than 37,000 euros On a bid. Shortly after the auction was on the ground. Don’t say cheese, di cabrales. Asturias is known for many things. By Your cider, Your houndsits beaches, its mountainous places and also (and rightly) for its cheese. The Cabrales is one of the gastronomic icons of the Principality and to claim it Arenas de Cabrales has celebrated every summer, for decades, A contest which usually arouses interest both inside and outside the region. The appointment is not famous just by giving visibility to Dop Cabrales. The contest arrives accompanied by a bid for the best cheeses in which amounts of infarction are reached, assumable only by privileged pockets. Offer are so high in fact that they have managed to make a place several times in the pages of the Guinness book. It has happened Other editions. And it has happened again in this. A figure: 37,000 euros. The Arenas de Cabrales appointment is divided into several parts. First the jury decides which of the title aspiring cheeses is the best, it has a more attractive aspect and offers better flavor and aroma. Then that same piece goes to auction and businesses interested in taking her to her pantries pujo for her at the crossroads worthy of the Sotheby’s house. In this edition (the 53rd already) the starting price was € 3,000 and participated near a dozen hoteliers from different parts of Asturias (Gijón, Oviedo and Castrillón) and Madrid. The winner was Iván Suárez, owner of El Llagar de Colloto, in Oviedo. It didn’t have it easy. Last year Suarez had already taken home winning cheese by 36,000 eurosa figure that this year exceeded slaughtering. A Madrid cider house matched the figure, another Gijonesa rose the bid to 36,500 and the owner of El Llagar de Colloto ended up setting up the dispute when lifting his palette to offer the whopping of 37,000 for a piece of about 2.5 kg. Himself I calculated which came out at € 14,800/kg. Records at full speed. The truth is that Cabrales accumulates records at more speed than the Guinness organization is capable of digesting them. New Spain remember that this will be the fourth consecutive world plusmarca of Asturian cheese and if you consult The web From the Guinness World Records you will find the curious chance that just two months ago those responsible echoed that the most expensive cheese on the planet is a cabrales auctioned in Asturias for 36,000 euros. It is not a mistake. It is simply the brand that the DOP reached in 2024. It has already been outdated. Does Cabrales cheese have a roof? That is The question That some media have been made in recent days, especially if you take into account the speed with which the offers have grown by the winner of the Arenas contest. The Europa Press agency remember That the winner of this edition already disbursed 14,300 euros in 2018, 20,500 in 2019, 30,000 in 2023 and 36,000 last year, a figure that has been pulverized by the 37,000 of 2025. In the price, however it goes more than the value of the product. The bid is also a huge advertising showcase, both for the Dop Cabrales and for the winning hotelier. Of headlines and anecdotes. “The head of having the most expensive cheese in the world is what leads to this. In the end if the cheese had cost 20,000 euros instead of 37,000 because yes, it would have been the winning cheese of the contest, but we would not have worldwide news, we would not open the news, nor would we have international recognition, which is what we all look for, Suárez confesses to The voice of Asturias. Interestingly this year he has monopolized holders by Another reasonmore anecdotal … and juicy. After winning the bid the Ovetense hotelier rose to collect the piece proud and when he lifted his arms to show the tray the cheese drained and finished falling to the ground. An anecdote that the businessman was taken with humor. The cheese, he explained, will divide it into three parts: For his father, for him and his family and for his clients. In cave already 1,500 meters. Record prices and anecdotes apart, the main protagonist of the contest was the cheese that elaborated the winning piece: Ángel Díaz Herrero, by Tielve. Its representative, Encarna Bada, remembers that the cheese is made with cow’s milk and mature for several months at 1,500 meters of altitude in the Los Mazos cave. “It is the coldest cave, it has little cheese and matures more slowly. It is the caves that give the flavor to the cabrales, because factors such as moisture, temperature and height influence it,” Explain. The task is not simple. Bada acknowledges that going up and down with cheese pieces is arduous work because to the area “They don’t even get cars” To transport them in fact they have to resort to horses. What there is no doubt is that your technique and know how to do work: last year The same cheese managed to win the coveted first position of the contest and, incidentally, settle his name in the Guinness.

Call of Duty announces a film, with which he will make a leap to the void, going beyond the children’s audience of other adaptations

by

It was clear: after the successes of ‘A Minecraft movie‘ either ‘Super Mario Bros.: The movie‘We were going to see new video game adaptations. AND ‘Call of Duty‘It was one of the undisputed franchises to receive a version on the big screen. Although his announcement also involves a distancing from other projects: a more adult series, with more serious themes, and that opens new ways for what could be the next great Hollywood reef. Paramount points. The renewed Paramount, now under Skydance’s wings, is the one that will be responsible for producing this adaptation of the Activision saga, which will appear in the movie’s credits as an advisor to everything that comes out on the screen. It is a turn that is not surprising coming from the producer: one of her last great hits in cinema was’Top Gun: Maverick‘, so it has all the meaning that wants to continue exploiting the war aesthetics with a franchise settled in the past. It is not the first time that Paramount tries, however: in 2018 he already tried to put an adaptation of ‘Call of Duty’ standing with the director of ‘Sicario 2’, Stefano Sollina, on board. A lifelong fan. On this adaptation, David Ellison, CEO of Paramount, said in statements that Deadline collects “As a fan of ‘Call of Duty’ of a lifetime, this is a dream come true. From the first allied campaigns in the original ‘Call of Duty’, going through ‘Modern Warfare’ and ‘Black Ops’, I have spent countless hours playing this franchise.” And makes the inevitable comparison: “We are addressing this film with the same discipline and the same unwavering commitment to excellence that guided our work in ‘Top Gun: Maverick’, making sure that it meets the exceptionally high standards that this franchise and its fans deserve.” Good new times. Today the times in which adapting a video game were almost synonymous with guaranteed failure (at least artistic) seem. The huge software sales promoted adaptations, but gave rise to fiascos such as ‘Super Mario Bros.’ or ‘Street Fighter’ (today claimed as cult films, and both with new versions that – at least in the case of Mario – have cleaned the image of the franchises). Recall that for a while, the one who was considered a nefarious director, Uwe Boll, insisted on adapting a video game after another. Not everything is terrible. Despite the bad reputation of adaptations, we have had good films from the beginning: the first ‘Mortal Kombat’ is a great version and The ‘Resident Evil’ sagawith its ups and downs, it is full of humor, imagination and springs (and The despised 2021 adaptation It was great). ‘Silent Hill’ is remembered for its powerful macabra imagery and Lara Croft’s versions … well, they have not aged at all well but they are esteemed adventure films, and the 2018 version was very defensible. But none of that prepared us for the dump at the box office that would hit films such as those mentioned, to which successes such as ‘Sonic The Hedgehog’, ‘Uncharted’ or Pokémon movies, which we forget about them and although there is an anime through them are added, video games are part of their DNA. Adult cinema. All of them, however, have something in common: they are films oriented to children or, at most, to the family member. ‘Call of Duty’ is, therefore, a risk to which the sequelae of ‘Sonic’ are alien, for example. Paradoxically, franchise players are young and even There is an important group that is between 11 and 20. Paramount, however, may not want to escape the possibility of attracting spectators in a broader range of ages, with a more serious and violent film. If you get even more the arch of the spectators, you can have a real triumph on your hands. Header | Activision In Xataka | An urbanization was deserted in Valencia after the real estate bubble.

A new study associates late breakfast with lower life expectancy

by

One of the Great statements that has always been done in the field of nutrition is that breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day. Given that premise, we are at a time where The ‘what’ we eat has monopolized our attention counting calories, Analyzing macronutrients and discussing superfoods. However, a new research wave is focusing on an equally crucial question: the “when” we eat. Longevity. One of the great objectives that people have is to last how long the better. But, They tell Putin and Xi Jinping with organ transplantation. But although this is not a viable option, a study that followed almost 3,000 older adults in the United Kingdom for more than three decades is clear that breakfast can be key to calculating our risk of mortality. The key point is the time to have breakfast, which would be a great health marker that points to the much (or little) that can be lived. An internal clock. The field of study that focuses on this aspect of our life is Chrononutritiona discipline that studies our internal clock, what we know as circadian rhythmswhich only dictate when we sleep or wake up, but also regulate our hormones, our metabolism and how we process food. In this way, eating in tune with this internal clock seems to be beneficial, according to researchers, while doing it could disagree our internal machinery. The new studyled by researchers from institutions such as the University of Manchester and Harvard, entered fully into this concept, analyzing how food schedules change as we age and what that means for our health. The late breakfast problem. The researchers analyzed the data of 2,945 adults older than 1983 until 2017. The results in this case were quite clear: as the participants aged, they tended to delay the time of breakfast and dinner, and to shorten their daily “food window”. But what caught the care really was the relationship with the health problems that arise with longevity. Greater mortality. Delaying breakfast associated with a higher risk of mortality in the short term. Specifically, every hour of Breakfast delay It was linked to an 8% increase in the chances of dying, even after adjusting factors such as socioeconomic level or lifestyle. New diseases. In addition to increasing the probability of dying, having breakfast in a late way can be related to a greater burden of physical and psychological diseases, such as fatigue, depression, anxiety and multimorbility, that is, the suffering of several diseases simultaneously. Lower survival. A criterion that can agglutinate the two previous values ​​is the survival of a person. In this case, the analysis identified two groups of patients: on the one hand, those who ate very early and on the other, those who ate later. The researchers could see in these cases that the 10 -year survival rate was remarkably lower in the group that ate later (86.7%), compared to the group that made it earlier (89.5%). The effect of aging. Far from being a simple choice of lifestyle, the study suggests that this change in schedules can be a deeper reflection of healthy health processes. Researchers suggest that genetics play a fundamental role in this case. On the one hand, there is a person who have a genetic predisposition to be ‘nocturnal’ which is what is known as a evening chronotype They have to delay the hours of all their meals. On the other, and perhaps more importantly, the study states that the beginning of a disease can be what leads us to change our schedules, and not vice versa. A conditions such as depression, chronic fatigue or oral health problems can alter appetite and daily routines, causing the first meal of the day to postpone. This phenomenon could be related to what is known as “anorexia of aging”, a geriatric syndrome characterized by the loss of appetite and a lower food intake. A health biomarker. The authors conclude that, rather than being a direct cause of mortality, breakfast time could function as a “simple health marker in older adults.” It is an easy indicator to observe for anyone and that can alert on underlying changes in the physical and mental well -being of a person. This research reinforces the idea that maintaining regular food schedules with our day and night cycle is important to have healthy aging. As they explain from the Harvard School of Public Health, aligning meals with the circadian clock can help regulate metabolism and reduce chronic diseases.

The machines coordinate and decide when to attack

by

The scene It took place a few weeks ago and was an unprecedented fact in military history. The Ukrainian forces announced that they had managed to capture Russian soldiers Without using infantry human Indeed, that was not a lantern. For the first time in history, they had used exclusively air drones and terrestrial robotic platforms, machines that were the immediate receptors of the surrender, an event that until now belonged to the science fiction. In fact, machines practically do not need the soldier. AI becomes strong. In the Ukrainian front has confirmed The routine use of dwellings of coordinated drones through artificial intelligence, a technological leap that for years was seen as prophecy and that today becomes In fact. Under software developed by the Swarmer local companysmall UAV groups are able to communicate with each other, assign functions, decide which one first attacks or adapt if one fails, all from a goal marked by the human operator. This ability to “Shared autonomy” It reduces from nine to three the number of people necessary for a mission and allows a single pilot to handle several devices, which helps Ukraine compensate for the inferiority of personnel against Russia. Although still far from a swarm of hundreds of drones, as some theorists anticipated, it is the first constant use of this technology in combat. From theory to practice. The Ukrainian army has used the system more than a hundred times, According to military sourcesusually in combinations of three drones (one of recognition and two bombers) To attack trenches, artillery positions or Russian equipment. The exploration drone traces the route and detects the target, while the other two distribute the attack autonomously. The proximity between devices reduces vulnerability to the Jamming Russiannot depending so much on easily interferible remote links. Swarmer has already tried swarms from Up to 25 drones And he prepares to experiment with more than 100, in line with parallel developments from the United States, China, France or South Korea. Unlike previous exercises (such as swarms launched by US fighters in 2016 or specific tests of Israel in Gaza), the novelty is persistence: Ukraine integrates these operations as routine In a high intensity conflict. Technical challenges and cost. The Wall Street Journal counted that the road has not been free of problems. In early stages, the drones exchanged too much information and saturated the network, forcing the refine the communication protocols. In addition, the incorporation of Ia makes each device more expensive in a country that already produces More than 1.5 million of drones a year and assumes that many will be consumables on the battlefield. Data management, link reliability and scalability to larger swarms They are still challenges. However, even with small groups, the advantage is palpable: speed in execution, savings of personnel and ability to attack simultaneously and flexible in multiple points. The new paradigm. Entry on stage of autonomous swarms Raises strategic and ethical issues of global scope. On the military, the possibility of launch dozens or hundreds Coordinated drones could saturate aerial defenses and transform the logic of deterrence: a single white, from a war ship to a critical infrastructure, can be overwhelmed by a volume of threats impossible to intercept one by one. It already happened With Spiderwebin fact. On the political level, software proliferation like Swarmer’s It marks a before and after: a company that works in a suburban garage, financed with US capital, produces a war capacity with international implications. The ethical dimension. Plus: the growing autonomy From weapons it generates a deep debate: to what extent does the decision to attack and kill? Swarmer He affirmed to the WSJ that a human continues to authorize The final shotbut the intermediate process (location, allocation of objectives and coordination) is already in the hands of machines. In fact, the United Nations He has asked for regulation On lethal autonomous weapons, while Washington and its allies maintain the requirement that there is a human operator in the “death chain.” Even so, the Ukrainian precedent accelerates the dilemma: the more effective these systems are shown, the greater the temptation to reduce human supervision to maximize speed and surprise. A border to redefine. In short, the conjunction of drones and algorithms It opens a land in which the quantity and artificial intelligence weigh more than individual sophistication. Ukraine, forced to innovate by necessity, is placed at the forefront of A historical change In the art of war, with implications that reach the great powers and the ethics of future conflicts. If you want also, the “swarm” has ceased to be a laboratory concept to become a real combat tool, transforming not only the tactic into the front, but also the worldwide reflection on how far the autonomy of machines should reach the machines in life or death decisions.

price, features, technical file, date

by

Bmw ha officially presented The new IX3, the first model of its “Neue Klasse” revolutionary platform (new class), which will be put on sale this month of September with a starting price of 68,900 euros. The electric SUV represents the most ambitious bet of the Bavarian brand to compete with Tesla and Chinese manufacturers in the high -end electric vehicle market. The firm had been anticipating this model for some time and, in the absence of trying it first -hand, we already have all the information. To the mess. BMW IX3, technical file BMW IX3 Body type SUV (D-SUV) Measures and weight 4,782 meters long, 1,895 wide and 1,635 meters high. Wheelbase of 2,897 meters. 2,285 kg of weight. Trunk 520 liters. 58 -liter front trunk. Maximum power 345 kW (469 hp) and 645 nm. Figures distributed in two electric engines (front and rear) Electric 108.7 kWh battery (up to 805 kilometers of autonomy) WLTP consumption 17.9 kWh/100 km DGT environmental badge Zero emissions. Others BMW Panoramic Vision 3D Head-Up Optional Display Central screen Compatibility with Android Auto and Apple Carplay. Price and launch Available in September from 68,900 euros First deliveries in March 2026. BMW’s response to China: software, autonomy and fast charging In recent years, BMW has seen how manufacturers such as Byd and Xiaomi gained ground thanks to Your software domain and infotainment system (not to mention the price part). The IX3 is Munich’s counteroffensive, with a completely new architecture that promises to combine BMW’s sports driving tradition with advanced technology. The IX3 will be able to travel hpole 805 km with a single load According to the WLTP cycle, placing among electricity with greater market autonomy. In the absence of trying it, we expect about 500 km on highway. The key is in its new cylindrical batteries of sixth generation, internally developed by BMW in collaboration with Catl, and that According to the brand They offer 20% more energy density and are manufactured with 50% less cost. The 800 volt architecture of the IX3 allows a maximum loading power of Up to 400 kWexceeding any electricity for sale in Europe. We must also bear in mind that, to obtain this loading power, a charger compatible with this rate will be necessary, which in Spain It is not very common outside of the main cities and in specific points. Under optimal conditions, IX3 can add 372 kilometers of autonomy in just 10 minutesor load from 10% to 80% in just 15 minutes. Four “supercerebros” and figures that threaten One of the strengths of the IX3 lies in its “Heart of Joy” system (heart of joy), which centralizes in four central processing units the functions that traditionally managed dozens of processors scattered throughout the vehicle. The processing is responsible for: the recharge and management of the electrical propulsion system, management in driving dynamics, processing of the infotainment system and management of autonomous driving and conduction assistance. According to BMW, the processing capacity is about 20 times higher than the one that was achieved so far. In addition, these four brains have allowed saving up to 600 meters of cable and reducing the weight of the entire system by 30%. The first “Supercerebro”, in charge of managing traction, stability and electric motors, has a latency of just a millisecond, According to the firm. This allows, for example, to redistribute the torque to the rear wheels before the driver has begun to turn the steering wheel in an emergency maneuver. BMW estimates that 98% of real -driving braking can only be done with electric motors, without touching the brake pedal. The IX3 50 XDrive, which is the initial version, has 469 maximum power horses and 645 nm torque. Accelerate 0 to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds. But BMW promises that experience goes beyond straight acceleration that characterizes many electric. And it is that its new dual electric motors, with a front asynchronous engine and one rear synchronous, integrate silicon carbide investors who promise to reduce friction losses by 40%. Futuristic interior The interior of the IX3 introduces the panoramic idrive system, which Project driving information on a nanorrevestide surface that runs the entire lower part of the windshield. Drivers can configure up to six separate spaces to display GPS, performance data or vehicle information, all visible even with intense sunlight or polarized glasses, according to the brand. The steering wheel lies bitter and plagued with buttons and, ultimately, there is a change inside that nothing has to do with current models. In addition, from the launch the aesthetic packages M and M Pro will be available, which provide the vehicle with sports details and darker upholstery options. Price and availability The IX3 will leave From 68,900 euros In the German market with its initial version IX3 50, in the absence of knowing the final prices in Spain. The units will begin to be sold this month of September, with an estimated delivery for March 2026.

Install 280,000 industrial robots per year

by

China is obsessed with robots. The Humanoid robots They are the ones that attract more looks, but there is another silent invasion of robots that is working without stopping with a goal: to ensure that China remains “the world factory.” 280,000 robots. They tell it in the Financial Times. It is the figure of industrial robots that Chinese factories are installing every year. To put it in context, it would be half of the global total. According to Data from the International Robotics FederationChina placed itself as an absolute leader in industrial robots facilities, although the leadership in terms of the density of Robots vs workers keeps it South Korea, followed by Singapore and thirdly China. Own manufacture. The thrust towards automation by industrial robots is part of the Made in China 2025 plan promoted by Xi Jinping, in which robots and industrial machinery were two of the key pillars. According to the Chinese consultant Market Intelligence Resourceat least half of those robots are manufactured by Chinese companies. Chengdu Crp Robot Technology is one of those companies and has managed to highlight robots 60% cheaper than its rivals. Efficiency and salary increases. The strong commitment to automation is pending in the Chinese industry, to local manufacturers of low -cost goods, and is paying fruit. Manufacturers are able to reduce costs and remain efficient despite salary increases of recent years. The average salary of a worker in a Dongguan factory is about 625 euros, while in India, one of its main competitors in this sector is only 165 euros. More exports. Automation is causing an increase in exports in industries such as toys, which in the last four years has increased from 54.3 to 56.9%. In furniture, its quota has increased by 1.5% and other items such as stationery or cleaning have grown nine percentage points. And less employment. China became the world factory thanks to the cheap labor, but now that this is over they are going to robots to maintain their advantage. The negative part is that employment is falling. Financial Times estimates that between 2011 and 2023, employment in twelve industries with a strong presence of labor has fallen by 26.5%. In parallel, new jobs derived from automation are emerging, they are the so -called “Purple Collar” workers Dedicated to the maintenance of these robots, although it is not enough to match the loss of jobs. World leader. When it is said that China is the world factory is not an exaggeration. However, it has not always been so. The video about these lines perfectly reflects how the ranking of countries that most manufacture has been moving. Until 2009, the United States went to the head, but then China advanced and consolidated a leadership that is maintained until today with 27.7% of the total. Competence. The above data refer to the global of all industries, but in certain China sectors it has found strong competition in Southeast Asian countries that offer cheap labor. Vietnam has been placed as the second shoe exporter in key markets like the United States and is also The second largest smartphones manufacturer. In the textile industry, Bangladesh is a leader in yute manufactures and second in clothing. Automation is China’s great asset to maintain its position.

We have found pfas in more than twenty beers

by

We usually refer to them as the “eternal chemicals” or by the acronym, which refer to their technical name: perfluoroalquilated substances and polyfluoroalquiladas. These compounds have become one of the greatest global environmental concerns, but we also suspect that our health is also threatened by them. The problem is that, in addition to “eternal”, we are discovering that these chemicals are almost ubiquitous. In beer. A study conducted in the United States He has found That 95% of the beers analyzed contained traces of pfas, the dreaded “eternal chemicals.” The most likely origin of pollution would be in the water used in the elaboration of this fermented drink. PFAS Perfluoroalquilated and polyfluoroalized substances are a group of synthetic compounds (we have created about 4,700 compounds of this type) that stand out for the little that interact with the chemicals of their surroundings, something that is produced by the union between fluorine and carbon atoms. This makes them Very useful compounds In the industry and manufacturing of objects, from nonstick pans to containers and hygiene products. In this advantage is your curse: by decomposing with great difficulty, these compounds tend to accumulate in nature and in our body. When they finally decompose, they can give rise to the appearance of harmful compounds such as trifluoroacetic acid. Set the beer. In its study, the team modified the analysis system used by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) American to study the levels of PFAS in drinking water. They used this modified tool to analyze the presence of compounds in 23 beers. They chose beers produced both in areas with documented cases of water pollution, as well as well -known national and international beers whose elaboration unknown water sources were used. The team not only found that 95% of the sample contained these chemicals, also observed a correlation between water pollution in the beer production environment and the presence of pollutants in the final product, at least among the beers made locally. The study was published In an article In the magazine ACS Environmental Science & Technology. A permeable problem. The study shows, The responsible team stands outhow pollution in a source (water in this case) can be extended to a variety of products. This highlights the need to raise awareness of different sectors about the need to limit exposure to this type of compounds. “As an occasional beer drinking room, I wondered if the pfas in aquifers were making their way to our pints,” explained in a press release Jennifer Hoponick Redmon, who led the study. “I hope these findings inspire water and policy treatment strategies that help reduce the probability of (find) pfas when throwing beer in the future.” The wine does not get rid. If someone thinks that the solution is to go to the wine, we have bad news. A few months ago the environmental association European bread (PHASE Action Network Europe) He alerted too of the presence of these substances in the wine of the continent, including one of the wines produced in Spain.
