Personalized GPTS are one of Openai’s great inventions. Now Google has just released yours in Gemini

by

One of the most interesting functions that chatgpt has are GPTS. In a nutshell, they are Chatgpt personalized versions created for specific purposes. We could have a GPT focused on correcting our texts, to solve mathematical problems or plan trips. It is a really useful function, but for now they can only be created by payment users. Anyone can use them, but only premium users can create them. Well Google has decided to opt for a different path with Gemini and its Gems. And yes, the user win. Gems? That is the name that the equivalents of GPTs receive on Google Gemini. To all purposes, they are exactly the same. Instead of using Gemini’s “general” version, Gems allow us to use a specialized version in certain tasks. It is a function that, having dedicated the necessary time and care, can be very useful. 10 Google applications that could have triumphed For everyone. So far, only payment users could create and use Gems. That is, the only way to access this function was paying the 21.99 euros per month that costs access to Gemini Advanced. That is over. As plannedGoogle has released access to gems and, from today, creating them and using them is completely free. Gems creator | Capture: Xataka Options. Google gives us five predetermined gems focused on brainstorming, professional orientation, programming, learning and writing review. Grace, however, is to create ours. To do this, you just have to go to the Gems manager and start the process (or you can do it by clicking directly in This linkwhich is direct access). Important: Although gems can be used from mobile app (and deployment is being progressive), they can only be created in the web version. Some keys. When creating a GEM it is important to be clear, concise and descriptive. Here are Some tricks to get the perfect prompt. For example, if we want our Gem to serve us to correct texts in English, something like this should be put: “You are a text reviewer in English and aid to people to detect and correct failures in their writings. Your work is to analyze the texts, find all errors, explain to the user why he is poorly written and suggest improvements. Use a friendly tone. Use Spanish to give explanations. Be patient.” The result will be something similar to this: when giving the badly written phrase “I are not feeling lots well”, the GEM returns the following answer: Example of use of a Gem created by us | Capture: Xataka Models. In our Gems we can use the models we have access to Google Gemini. In the free version we can use Gemini Flash 2.0 and Gemini Flash 2.0 Flash Thinkingwhich is experimental. If we had the payment version we could use the most advanced models. Using the reasoning model can be really useful if we create a very specific Gem focused on answers that need precision. Limitations. Gems are very useful, but they have an important limitation: they do not admit the rise in documents, at least in the Spanish version and for now. In the English version they seem to admit them. Being able to upload documents is a very interesting function to consult bibliography, interact with a PDF, with an Excel sheet, etc. Let’s think about the potential that this has to analyze data, extract trends or digest a lot of information more easily. The problem is that, for the moment, we do not have it available. Cover image | Xataka In Xataka | Google’s results with generative come to Spain. And with them, an elephant in the media room

Seven CCAA backs down with the screens and mark a change in trend

by

The Spanish education system has a peculiar way to embrace innovations: with excessive enthusiasm first, and with equal intensity when rejecting them later. First was the aspirational devotion for the Finnish model, then the obsession to digitize each classroom. Today, just over a decade after that race to fill the laptops, We are seeing the principle of an opposite pendular movement: Seven Autonomies – governments by both PP and PSOE – are regulating to reduce screens in classes, according to The world. This turn is not born from a political whim. The results of the latest PISA tests and international evaluations have been another jug ​​of cold water. The reading comprehension and the basic mathematical skills They are collapsing while students spend more time with a tablet and less with paper and ball. Madrid, the Region of Murcia, Valencian Community, Balearic Islands, Galicia, Asturias and Catalonia are preparing different regulations but with the same spirit: Recover paper. Limit the hours in front of the screens. And reflect on whether we really need to do all duties in digital. We are also seeing many politicians to seek the tribute applause cursing the screens in the classrooms, but none do self -criticism when the tribune rewarded the slogan “a child, a laptop.” Is Selective amnesia that allows to navigate comfortably between opposite trends Without assuming responsibilities. Correction has no political color. The Socialist Asturian Lydia Espina and the popular Murcia Fernando López Miras coincide in the fundamental although they disagree in the forms, for giving two examples. Perhaps the most notable difference is that while Madrid opts for a more blunt prohibition, other regions prefer to set recommendations, leaving a certain margin of maneuver to the centers. But the message is clear: enough of tablets for everything. The most interesting thing about this Pendulazo is that it arrives right now, when the technology industry continues to promise the educational revolution through its devices, and when The AI ​​begins to appear in the classrooms. But between technological determinism and nostalgia for grid notebooks, perhaps what we are really seeing is a healthy maturity exercise: technology must be a medium, not an end. And like any tool, it has its optimal use moments. Not all the time. Not for everything. And of course, not for everyone at the same age. And we are starting to see it.

How to edit your photos with chatgpt to put them anime style or what you want

by

Let’s explain How to edit your images with chatgpt To reimagine them with the style you want. For example, you can make your cat’s photo have the style of the Ghibli studio, or anyone you want. It is a new option that has reached payment subscribers. This editing option will completely reimagine the photo. This means that faces can change, and positions too. You will simply use your photo as inspiration. In addition, free users have the limit of Chatgpt to be able to upload a limited number of photos to interact with them. We are going to indicate how to do this step by step with the Chatgpt web version. However, you can follow the same steps with your mobile or desktop applications. Edit your photos with chatgpt The first thing you have to do is Load the photo you want in the chat of chatgpt. For that, click on the Load files With the sign of the +, and choose the photo you want from your gallery or a folder of your device. Now, you have to Write a prompt telling you to reimagine the photo. You have to do it before sending the photo, when you are loaded and see it, then write the prompt including the style in which you are going to love it. For example, you can put something like “reimagine this photo in anime style.” When you send the image with the Prompt, Chatgpt will stay analyzing the content of the photo, and will create from scratch a new photo in which it is represented what you have in which you have sent, but with the style you have asked. This may take a few seconds. After seeing the result, you can continue asking you to reimagine the same photo in different ways. You can try concrete studies styles such as Ghibli or Pixar, or even more different ones.

Turn it into the 3D concert spotify

by

The company specialized in immersive technology Infinite reality has won the fat prize: Napster It is now her property, after paying for her a price of 207 million dollars. And has ambitious plans: compete with the rest of the platforms of streaming contributing to the panorama one of the things that the company knows best, virtual concerts in 3D. Goodbye, old Napster. Any Internet user that combs gray hair (something that is detected, for example, in the use of the word “Internet user”) will remember the times of Napster, Soulseek and other primal P2P platforms. Napster was especially controversial for becoming a Turk’s head of the increasingly popular Internet of the beginning, and for facing a music industry that had not yet discovered how to obtain benefits from digital. Metallica, Madonna and Dr. Dre sued Napster in 2000, who had to declare himself in bankruptcy in 2002. Hello, new napster. The Napster brand lived different reincarnations And it has gone through very diverse hands. Perhaps the Best Buy technology store chain is the best known, although it did not last long under its wing: In 2011 he sold it to Rhapsodyanother platform of streaming that he was looking for an already known name to expand his business. In recent years, Napster has grown up as a service of streaming Legal, Spotify style: it is available in 34 countries and has a catalog of 110 million songs. Infinite reality arrives. The purchase of this company Specialized in immersive technology Its objective is to turn Napster into “a social music platform that prioritizes the active participation of fans on passive listening”, and with more accentuated social network dyes than in competitors such as Spotify: Napster will allow artists to “connect with their fans, as well as appropriate and monetize their relationship with them.” Some ideas that Infinite reality manages are the creation of official 3D virtual spaces for virtual concerts, premiere parties, sale of merchandising and entries and general attention to the public through artificial intelligence. Some doubts. Infinite reality entrance to the Napster business lands with its own list of doubts: the main one, how you plan to stand all these innovations on the platform, and if it makes sense. The creation of virtual spaces can be attractive to some users (and above all, for some investors), but also complex and strange for others. Recall that the current CEO of the company, Jon Vlassopulos, reached the position in 2022 after managing the part linked to the music industry of Robloxa millionaire company but whose attempts to create a massive cultural metavers They have not set at all. Are we facing a new chapter of “Llamazares in Second Life“ General obscurantism. There are even more doubts in the operation, not so practical. For example, the economic viability of the project: Infinite reality has raised three million dollars In an investment round, but it has not clarified where that money comes from. In addition, the implementation of AI and expanded reality are very ambitious and can run into the obstacle of adoption by the music industry, not characterized precisely by how quickly the turns of one hundred eighty degrees in the business (Napster’s primal history in the year 2000 is, in fact, the best example).

It was the sarcophagus of Chernobil reactor 4

by

April 26, 1986 was Saturday. The day will always be remembered for what happened at a nuclear power plant located in northern Ukraine (then belonging to the Soviet Union). The explosion of reactor 4 in Chernobil produced the worse nuclear accident of history, and the Soviets built in a hurry A sarcophagus to try to stop the impact. Subsequently, an impenetrable shield was raised to contain radiation, but nobody thought the war was going to pass there. An unforeseen drone. It happened just over a month ago. On February 14, an explosive drone Shahed 136of Iranian manufacture and launched by Russia, pierced the structure of confinement of the reactor 4 of Chernobil, considered one of the greatest feats of modern engineering and designed to contain the radiation of the worst nuclear disaster in history. This steel dome, known as the New Safe Confinementwas installed in 2016 with a cost of 1.7 billion dollars and the participation of more than 45 countries. The work was conceived to resist natural disasters, but not war actions. The drone, whose estimated cost Round the $ 20,000caused an internal fire that lasted For almost three weeksseverely affecting the northern part of the structure, and also leaving damage in the south, as confirmed the Ukrainian authorities and the International Atomic Energy Agency (Oiea). Immediate consequences. Apparently, although the initial fire He extinguished Quickly, an impermeable membrane within the isolation burned and kept smoking for days. To combat the fire, emergency equipment, equipped as mountaineers, had to open holes in the dome outer layer and introduce pressure at pressure, something, a priori, “vetoed”, since it contravenes the principle of keeping the interior dry to avoid corrosion. The problem? The intervention raised significantly Moisture levels Within the enclosure, which now represents a serious risk to the stability of the structure and its insulation capacity. By March 7, Ukraine declared the fire officially extinguishedbut the damages were already extensive, seriously compromising the original functionality of the dome. Although external measurements indicate normal radiation levels, system integrity It is in questionwhich forces to reconsider the dismantling plan of the reactor and the treatment of radioactive waste, planned to begin in the next five years. Implications for nuclear safety. He New York Times counted That experts like Shaun Burnie and Jan Vande Putte, from Greenpeace, have explained that the impact of the attack was not only physical, but also symbolic: It demonstrated the vulnerability of a structure built to last a century and protect Europe and the world from the radioactive content of the reactor. Both specialists, together with Ukrainian authorities Like Artem SiryiThey argue that the structure no longer fulfills its confinement function and may require being completely dismantled and replacedan operation of millionaire costs and extreme technical difficulty. The immediate alternative (according to Eric Schmieman suggestsone of the main engineers of the original project) could consist of provisional measures to reduce moisture and avoid corrosion. Here are possibilities such as temporary seals and the reactivation of the ventilation system. However, repair or rebuild the structure in its current location It is almost impossible due to high radiation levels. Plus: Move it also presents severe risks, especially by the deteriorated state of the original Soviet sarcophagus still contained inside. Features of the New Safe Confinement perforated Historical context. We said it at the beginning and We have spoken in several occasions of the tragedy. The damaged shield represents the result of decades of efforts To contain a catastrophe that in 1986 caused the evacuation of an exclusion zone of 2,600 km², left an official balance of 31 immediate dead and contributed to a Sustained increase in cancersparticularly thyroid. He original sarcophagusbuilt of emergency by the Soviet Union, was slowly collapsing, and its replacement took years in planning and executing. The current structure was built at a distance of half a kilometer to minimize the exposure and then slid over the reactor. Apparently, it is composed of two layers of steel and humidity control systems to prevent oxidation and collapse. Its function is clear: contain the radioactive dust and allow the controlled dismantling of the reactor by means of cranes installed inside. Now, this whole process is suspended indefinitely. Drones, war and vulnerability. The attackcarried out within the framework of Russia’s invasion in Ukraine, marks a new milestone in the vulnerability of critical infrastructure against cheap and difficult to intercept weapons Like drones. Let us think that until now both parties have avoided directing active nuclear plants, and that the growing use of drones for strategic attacks on energy facilities has generated global alarm. In this regard, Trump even suggested, as part of the negotiations for a ceasefire, that the United States assume control of Ukrainian electrical and nuclear facilities to avoid this type of threats. According to Soryiresponsible for the operation of the Domo, many drones survive Chernobil almost every night, most in the direction of Kyiv, which reinforces the need to rethink the protection of nuclear sites before a new type of constant, silent and accessible air threat. Future. It is the most difficult to foresee. Explained in the Times That the total restoration of the damaged structure is emerging as an almost impossible company. Experts suggest starting with urgent mitigation solutions while the feasibility of a reconstruction is evaluated. Ironically, the drones, the same type of technology that pierced the dome, could now become allies: small devices developed by Ukraine They could be used to evaluate internal damage and attend remote repairs, minimizing human exposure to radiation. However, the cost, the scale of the damage and the risks involved propose a technical and financial dilemma to the international community. The doubt will now be to decide whether to undertake a new titanic work or risk a future catastrophe for insufficient protection.

Without tolls, the AP-7 has become hell. The solution passes through speed limits of 60 km/h

by

The AP-7 is known as the Mediterranean highway. It is an essential axis for Spanish traffic since it allows to circulate without interruptions between Tarragona and Alicante. And if we add their links to other roads, it allows to circulate between France and Cádiz. A road, yes, that until 2021 was marked by various tolls. Some sections, in fact, They were one of the most expensive in Spain. The road, however, is fought from the Tolls in 2021. What it was A historical claim In the area it soon became a problem. In its first year, the road saw tourism traffic increasing 40% and 80% of trucks, collected in The country. The obvious result: more jams, more accidents … and more jams accordingly. Specifically, only the first year the AP-7 concentrated 20% of the dead on the road throughout Catalonia. A figure that contrasts with the trend of the rest of the country where the deceased on the road They concentrate on secondary roads. The New free routewith France at one end and Barcelona to one of its sides, it has turned the road into a parade of merchandise vehicles. And the problem is such that since then solutions are being sought. First with a partial reduction of speed limits. An action that has arrived in 2022 and added 82 kilometers. The next step is to copy Europe. A solution to the European Since then, the AP-7 situation has not improved much. Although mortal figures have been reduced over time, only in 2024 more than 1,600 incidents on the road. The response of traffic managers has been to reduce speed. How much? It will depend on the Meteorology and traffic congestion. Because the proposal goes through a changing management of the maximum speed of the road. A solution that already applies to other roads in Europe and that can reduce the maximum allowed limit to 60 km/h. The person in charge of announcing the measure was the Minister of Interior, Núria Parlon. They point out in The newspaper that this section of variable speed will extend for 150 kilometers between Maçanet de la Selva (Girona) and the Vendrell (Tarragona). For this, panels controlled by artificial intelligence will be implemented that will limit the traffic speed based on the different circumstances that are giving. The measure takes as reference what happens, for example, In German autobahn. On these roads there is no defined speed limit. In fact, if circumstances accompany, There is no speed limit. But at nightfall, when it rains or if there are works on the road, the panels show a speed limit equal to or less than 130 km/h. The operation is exactly the same as on the German roads but the director of the Catalan Traffic Service (SCT), Ramon Lamiel, already warns in an interview with EFE: The speed can be reduced up to 60 km/h at some points. At the moment, the project is in the development phase by the Servei Català de Trànsit (SCT)who has the competitions on Catalan roads. In the second quarter of the year it should be written to be able to get it as a tender. They explain in The countrythat the intention is to deploy a progressive reduction in the maximum speed before the driver is suddenly with a bottling that forces him to reduce the speed much more drastic. Speaking to the newspaper, Lamiel insists that speed will be reduced Only in the most congested sections since they believe that the increase in accidents is derived from a greater volume of traffic and not from the danger of the road. In addition, he points out that they already proposed this measure to extend it nationwide by the roads that are the competence of the DGT but that its proposal was dismissed. The truth is that The theory says that when we circulate more slowly, traffic jams are reduced. Atasco are a sum of errors. When we circulate at a lower speed, the time to alleviate errors is greater and these are reduced. It is a matter of effectiveness and not so much speed. Traffic circulates more slowly but flows. If we circulate too fast, the braking are more abrupt, it costs more to recover a sustained speed and, little by little, we end up stucking the road.

Europe needs an alternative to Starlink and Spain has just invests 14 million in its first piece: Sateliot

by

The gigantic Starlink satellite constellation has left Europe at strategic disadvantageas the Ukraine War demonstrated since its inception. In the new geopolitical context of Rearme, and while the European space industry seeks to become independent from the United States, Spain has decided to take care of one of its key assets in the low terrestrial orbit. The news. The Spanish government has approved A strategic investment of 13.85 million euros in Sateliot, The Catalan 5G satellite company for the Internet of Things. The investment will leave the European funds Next Tech (of the recovery plan, transformation and resilience), managed by the Spanish Society for Technological Transformation (SETT). Although the State I already participated in Sateliot Through the Public Company Sepides (with 4.69% of the capital), this investment 10 times greater reinforces the position of Spain prior to the development of IRIS2, the future European Starlink. What is Sateliot. Founded in 2018 by Jaume Sanpera (CEO) and Marco Guadalupi (CTO), Sateliot operates a constellation nanosatellites which offer 5G connectivity for the Internet of things from the low terrestrial orbit. These cubesats operate 600 km altitude and can connect any IoT device compatible with the standard “Rela 17” NTN. Sateliot is not a broadband service such as Starlink, but points to a thousand millionaire business: eliminating areas without cellular coverage for agriculture (irrigation devices, fertilizers), livestock (animal geolocation), logistics (trucks and ships), industrial infrastructure and renewable energy. Small satellites, huge expectations. Sateliot has launched six small cubesat satellites in orbits of about 600 km altitude, but projects to expand its constellation 250 satellites in 2026 to offer almost global coverage. The company has signed commercial contracts with companies such as Telefónica or Amazon Web Services, with which it plans to invoice 270 million euros a year. His forecast is reach income of one billion euros Annual for 2030. Integrated with terrestrial networks. Satelliot technology takes advantage of the 5G standard so that the IoT devices of its customers can connect directly to the satellites without specific equipment. Your customers or those of the operatorsbecause technology is integrated directly into land networks so that devices have continuous connectivity in remote or rural areas without stable terrestrial coverage. In this way, farmers can optimize the use of water and fertilizers to reduce costs. and industries such as logistics will be able to have a real -time monitoring of containers and goods. The way to Iris2. Sateliot acts as Precursor and strategic complement of the future IRIS2 European system, planned for 2030 with a public and private investment of 10,000 million euros. Iris2 is the European response Starlink, a constellation of satellites in different orbits that will initially offer sovereign communications for the Member States and their NATO partners, and will be expanded with commercial services or agglutinating other existing ones, such as Oneweb of the French Eutelsat. The Spanish Hispasat is another of the companies that leads the effort. A compartmentalized Starlink. Sateliot and Oneweb are somehow pieces of the future European Starlink, but cannot compete on the Starlink is far from what the European industry can offer right now. While Sateliot as Oneweb deployed their satellites (hiring Falcon 9 rockets, among others), Spacex has built in just over a year its first direct-to-cell constellation with LTE connectivity for all types of customers. The system He began to deploy In January 2024 and It is already working in the United States In beta phase, integrated with T-Mobile. Europe is aware of this resource difference, and is putting its eggs in many baskets. Part of the Strategy 2040 of ESA It is to support the development of these constellations and achieve autonomy in access to space with new commercial rockets that aspire to be reuse.

1.4 billion dollars have disappeared

by

Elon Musk’s car manufacturer is not going through Your best moment financial with their actions falling into chopped For weeks. As if that were not enough, Dan McCrum, the journalist who uncovered the Wirecard fraudhas highlighted a possible hole of 1.4 billion dollars in the accounting of Tesla. The news has sat like a jug of cold water among Tesla investors, already upset by the crisis that has caused the political decisions of his CEO Doge front. This discussion potential has unleashed a series of questions about transparency and Reliability of financial information which provides Tesla. If this unraveling in the cash flow is not resolved quickly, it could have reputational consequences for the future of the company and the perception that investors have about the management of Elon Musk in front. The black hole: 1.4 billion dollars without explanation. The journalist published a complete finding analysis in it Financial Times which has exposed a gap of 1.4 billion dollars in the Tesla cash flow. According to McCrum, Tesla has put all the meat on the ASADOR of the AI ​​and plans to make investments worth 11,000 million dollars annually in developing Infrastructure for Ia. That leads to its cash volume in cash is greater than usual. Within the framework of these planned investments, in the third and fourth trimester combined of 2024, Tesla spent 6,300 million dollars in “Purchases of Properties and Equipment, excluding financial leases, net sales”, according to the cash flow states published in their accounts. However, in the balance sheet, the gross value of property, plant and equipment only increased 4.9 billion dollars in that period, to reach 51 billion dollars. That leaves a unravel between spending and assets of 1.4 billion dollars. The accounts are audited. As the vast majority of large companies, Tesla accounts are audited by external consultants. PWC takes care of these audits since 2005. Several accounting experts confirmed to Fortune that there are plausible justifications for this unraveler that could not be reflected in the financial statements of Tesla. However, it is expected that the relevant figures coincide for a company where sales have fallen but does not show serious problems in their assets, pointed to Fortune Tim Morrison, accounting professor at Notre Dame and Audit Socy of the consultant EY. PWC He has audited Tesla’s finances since 2005. “If they had incorrect numbers, then that would be an alert signal related to audit controls,” said Morrison calling for caution. We will have to see if PWC or the company offers some clarification, “he told Fortune Garrett Nelson, vice president and actions analyst of the CFRA Research consultant. Warning signs that Tesla should clarify. Luzi Hail, accounting professor at the Wharton School, stood out in the Financial Times That “the reason why the reported figures do not completely fit in most cases is that we only see the net changes in these accounts, but we do not have all the detailed transactions that have been carried out. Perhaps part of these assets were sold and we do not know their net accounting value.” Dan McCrum highlighted in his article that this unraveling could well be corrected in an accounting adjustment in the next quarter due to the gap in the annotation of the values. Last year, Tesla generated 15,000 million dollars of operating cash flow. He invested 11,000 million dollars in his businesses and did not pay dividends or repurchase shares with his bulky liquidity. However, Tesla also raised $ 3.9 billion of new financing, in addition to the 2.6 billion dollars of 2023. However, the journalist warns that it could be an alert signal that has already been seen previously in cases like Wirecard, so Tesla should offer A convincing answer To those accounting doubts. Tesla’s past ghosts. This is not the first time that Elon Musk is accused of manipulating the company’s figures. In the past, suspicions have already emerged about the way in which Tesla presents its financial results and about the veracity of its growth projections. This situation inevitably evokes Enron’s memory, the energy company that was declared in bankruptcy in 2001 after uncovering an accounting fraud of gigantic proportions. As the CEO of Asana points out In the article of Fortune“Tesla could be the next Enron” if it is confirmed that Elon Musk has deceived customers and investors.

The CERN prepares a colossal bet by 2070. Some physicists believe it can take it to ruin

by

Santiago Folgueras is a young Spanish physicist who is leading an interesting project in CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research). During The conversation I had with him Several months ago he told me in detail What is your Intrepid projectwhich will be linked to the future HL LHC (High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider or high luminosity LHC). However, what caught my attention was the enthusiasm with which he told me about FCC (future circular colliding), which will be the machine that will presumably happen to HL LHC. If the itinerary that has planned the CERN continues its course as has done so far the HL LHC will be ready at the end of this decade. In 2030. and will be able to produce no less than 40 million collisions per second. The amount of information that will generate will be so huge that it will be necessary to put a system that is able to analyze the data in real time and make a decision regarding the collision that has just been produced. This is precisely the purpose of the HL LHC: drastically increase the number of collisions if we compare them with those that have occurred in the previous LHC iterations. The luminosity measures, in fact, how many potential particle collisions are produced by surface and time unit. It is measured in reverse femtobarns, so that each of them is equivalent to 100 billion collisions between protons. Of course, these are billion on a long scale, so an reverse femtobarn are 100 million million collisions. FCC design is under discussion Since the accelerator experiments began, in 2010, until the end of 2018, which was the moment in which its activity ceased, 150 reverse femtobarns occurred inside. According to the current planning of CERN technicians, the modifications required by LHC to increase its luminosity should be able to produce 250 reverse femtobarns every year until reaching 4,000 during the entire period of activity. The purpose of CERN physicists is that the FCC is able to reach a 100 tev energy during the second stage of the project In any case, the most interesting is to remember that the improvements that CERN technicians are introducing in the LHC respond to the need to find fissures in the standard model with the purpose of Expand our understanding of the world of particles. Some of the questions that CERN’s physicists have the hope of being able to answer with the help of HL LHC are what it is and what properties it has The dark matterbecause Neutrinos have mass And why There is no antimatter In the universe. There is no doubt that they are exciting questions. However, CERN’s physicists plan does not end the LHC HL. When all its operation cycles finally conclude this institution plans to build the FCC, an accelerator much larger than the LHC HL and capable of reaching much higher energies. Presumably will have a circle of 100 km (that of the current LHC measures 27 km), and its construction will start in 2038. The purpose of CERN physicists is that the FCC is capable of reaching during the second stage of the project an energy of 100 TEV (Telelectronvoltios). To train a precise idea about what we are talking about we just have to remember that the current LHC works with an energy of 16 TEV. If everything goes as scheduled, the FCC should be prepared not beyond 2070. According to the CERN, the first phase of the project, which does not the complete plan, will cost about 17,000 million dollars. Vladimir Shiltsev, a physicist specialized in accelerators at the University of Northern Illinois (USA), calculates that the entire project will cost At least 30,000 million dollars. According to Nature Some physicists, such as Jenny List, a researcher in the Hamburg Electron Syntron (Germany), criticize this plan and defend the construction of a linear accelerator of up to 33 km instead of a circular one. According to them, the linear option will be much cheaper and will allow the same experiments as a circular installation. We will see why option finally opt, but there is no doubt that these discussions are necessary to make the right decisions. Scientists still have plenty of time to weigh everything and direct the project by the most conducive path.
