He has just launched one of the most advanced military satellites in Europe

by

Spain already has one of the most advanced communications satellites of the world. Run from the United States with a Spacex rocket, the Spainsat NG 1 positions Spain as one of the NATO members with the greatest operational capacity in sovereign communications. The secret is in their antennas. The Spainsat Ng 1 communications satellite. The most advanced in Spain and the first in Europe with next -generation antennas. The spainsat Next Generation 1 was successfully deployed this morning to offer safe communications in government and military missions of the European Union, as well as its partners in the Atlantic Alliance. The satellite meets NATO’s requirements For missions and deployments, and positions Spain among the most advanced countries in sovereign communications. Adaptable to critical and emergency response operations, it is planned to remain in service until 2037, covering North and South America, Africa and the Middle East, and part of Asia to Singapore. Launch by Spacex. It is striking that a European military satellite is put into orbit by an American company. But it is not surprising, taking into account the multiple delays of Ariane 6: the only European rocket that could have launched the six -ton NG 1 spainsat. He did it Instead a Falcon 9 of Spacex From Cabo Cañaveral. The rocket loaded with 450 tons of propellants took off from the 39A platform of the Kennedy Space Center at 1:37 UTC, taking advantage of the last drop of fuel to take the satellite to a geostationary transfer orbit. His first stage was discarded without landing after 21 successful pitches, including the Japanese lunar mission Hakuto-R and the deployment of 400 Starlink satellites. Deployment in geostationary orbit. After separating from the second stage of the Falcon 9 rocket, the satellite undertook a solo trip until its final position in geostationary orbit, 35,786 km on the earth, a height of almost three times the diameter of the earth itself. The Spainsat NG 1 will undergo a series of commissioning tests before entering operation. The Spanish company Hisdesat will be in charge of its operations During the next 15 years, with the support of the Department of Connectivity and Safe Communications of ESA. What makes it so special. The 6.1 tons satellite, the size of a minibus, carries X Band Antennas with Beam Hopping technology, which means that they can modify the communications beam to different regions or users electronically, without moving. The antennas were developed by Airbus Defense and Space in Barajas, but A consortium of Spanish companies participated In the design and development of the satellite: Sener, Indra, Technobit, Arquimea, GMV and the Hisdesat itself. This industrial and institutional collaboration is included in the Pacis 3 project, which is in turn part of the Spainsat Next Generation program of Hisdesat, with an expected fleet of two satellites based on EUROPAR NEO DE AIRBUS technology.

China is raising an unprecedented dam where millions of people live. The problem is seismic activity

by

Before finishing 2024 we advanced what was known about China’s last megonstruction. Actually, we could not talk about “another” as if it were something else in a long list, because it is possibly one of the most ambitious projects that are reminded of the nation: a super prey so monumental that would leave The three throats relegated to the background, producing three times more energy than the spectacular structure of more than two kilometers long. Of course, there is some problem. The superpress. It is a reality: China advances with the construction of the Motuo Superpress in Tibetan unprecedented infrastructure project that, if completed, will become the largest hydroelectric power plant in the world taking advantage of an abrupt slope of 2,800 meters, exceeding the capacity of the three throats dam (currently the biggest in the world). Located in The Grand Canyon of Yarlung Tsangpoon the border with India, the dam has aroused environmental, geopolitical and humanitarian concerns, especially due to the lack of transparency of Beijing about its development. Experts warn that the project represents a “water pump” for millions of people in India and Bangladesh. Seismic risks. The Tibet is One of the most seismically active regions on the planetit has been known for a long time because it is located in the collision of the Indian plaque and the Euroasy Plate. In fact, a recent 7.1 magnitude earthquake in Shigatse It caused damage to five hydroelectric dams and the death of 134 people, demonstrating how vulnerable infrastructure in the region is. Although Motuo’s work can be designed to withstand earthquakes, landslides and mud alluds could serve as a fuse and unleash, representing a direct threat to nearby populations. We speak, again, millions of people. This risk is aggravated by the phenomenon of Seismicity induced by reservoirs (RTS)where the weight of accumulated water in large dams can trigger earthquakes. An example is the zipingpu damwhose construction was followed by Sichuan’s devastating earthquake in 2008 which charged 87,000 lives. In addition, sediment retention by the dam could reduce the fertility of the soil downstream, causing erosion in the rivers and coasts of India and Bangladesh. Gran_Cañón Yarlung Tsangpo Environmental impact. The dam too would alter the water and climatic patterns Crucial for agriculture in the region. The Tibet, where Brahmaputra is born, is one of the most biodiverse regions of the world and a key regulator of Asian climate. The construction of the superpress could, for example, alter the monsoon rainfallwith devastating effects for agriculture in India and Bangladesh. In addition, the ecological impact of Chinese megaemblses is already evident in other international rivers, Like the Mekong, where the dams have caused droughts recurring and the intrusion of salt water in agricultural deltas. Impact between the premises and (des) information. It is another leg that must tie the project. The Tibet is under a strong control of the Chinese Communist Party, so the magnitude of the displacement of Tibetans that will require the work is not known. In this regard, Beijing has not revealed details about costs (It is estimated that total investment will exceed 130,000 million euros), The companies involved or the number of people who will be relocated. And if we are guided by other cases in Chinese provinces, protests against hydroelectric projects have been repressedit is suggested that any opposition in the Tibet will be silenced. Geopolitics of a superpress. He Brahmaputrawhich flows to India and Bangladesh, is a vital artery for millions of people. Again, that lack of Chinese transparency has generated distrust in New Delhi and Daca, whose scientists have demanded access to hydrological data to evaluate the risks of the work. India, meanwhile, Fears China use river control as a geopolitical weaponrestricting or diverting the flow in case of conflicts. Thus, and in the face of uncertainty, some Indian officials have proposed an alternative: Build a dam in a Brahmaputra tributary to counteract possible flow reductionsalthough this solution does not seem ideal and could also harm the ecology of the region. Imminent risk. Nikei had this week That the possibility of a catastrophic collapse is not a simple speculation. China has suffered hundreds of dam failures throughout its historyincluding the worst disaster ever registered: The collapse in cascade of the Banqiao dam And another 61 dams in 1975, an event that caused 85,000 direct deaths and displaced 11 million people. Even The three throats dam was on the verge of collapse in 2020endangering 400 million people. Therefore, if a strong earthquake hit the region and cause the rupture of the superpress, Millions of people in the Brahmaputra Valley in India and Bangladesh could be affected by catastrophic floods, aggravating. In addition, geopolitical and humanitarian tensions in the region. If you want also, it is feasible to think that with this mega -Obra, China would not only reinforce its control over the water resources of Asia, but also converting Brahmaputra into a geopolitical weaponincreasing their pressure capacity over their neighbors.

New Microsoft Surface LapTop 13.8 “and 15” (2025), characteristics, price and technical file

by

Microsoft premieres laptops. Those of Redmond have just presented their new 13.8 and 15 -inch laptop surface, and, as expected, they arrive equipped with the latest processors Intel Core Ultra 200V ‘Lunar Lake’. His commitment to these chips entails something that is worth not overlooking: They integrate an NPU (Neural Processing Unit or neuronal processing unit) that is prepared to deal with Copilot+ for Windows 11. This component is essential to execute Copilot+ because it brings together the necessary logic to efficiently run the processes involved in the algorithms of artificial intelligence (AI). However, any NPU does not work; To live with co -pilot+ this block of logic must have a calculation capacity of at least 40 tops (theraperations per second). Intel promises that the NPU of its processors with microarchitecture ‘Lunar Lake’ gives us up to 48 tops, although if we add to this figure the capacity of the integrated GPU and the CPU its performance is triggered up to 120 tops.

Just change the screen. Both are available with the following processors: Intel Core Ultra 5 236V, Core Ultra 5 238v, Core Ultra 7 266v and Core Ultra 7 268v. The NPU of the Core Ultra 5 has a power of 40 tops, while that of the Core Ultra 7 reaches 48 tops. Both screens have a native contrast ratio of 1,300: 1, a dynamic soda of up to 120 Hz and are compatible with Dolby Vision IQ On the other hand, both laptops are available with 16 or 32 GB of main memory of the LPDDR5X type and with a removable SSD unit with PCI-E gene interface and a maximum capacity of 1 TB. Nothing to object to here. Now comes the main difference between both machines: the tactile screen with LCD matrix of the 13.8 -inch review has a resolution of 2,304 x 1,536 points, while the 15 -inch panel proposes us 2,496 x 1,664 points. Of course, both screens have a native contrast ratio of 1,300: 1, a dynamic soda of up to 120 Hz, are compatible with DOLBY VISION IQ and deliver a maximum of 600 nits of brightness. We are now with one of the differentiating characteristics of these laptops. And both incorporate the security technology developed by Microsoft and known as ‘Pluto’. His heart is a coprocessor integrated into the Intel SOC that is responsible, in broad strokes, to protect the credentials and encryption keys to implement an additional level of security. We can contemplate this strategy as the evolution of the well -known TPM chip (Trusted Platform Module). An interesting note: the ‘Pluton’ engine receives its updates from Firmware directly from Microsoft. This external module with USB4 connectivity delivers up to 65 watts to the battery of the new Microsoft laptops. It will be available on February 18 with a price of $ 199.99 (approximately 192 euros). Finally, when it comes to connectivity I have nothing to object. Both teams propose us Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth Core 5.4 and a port endowment in which they stand out The two USB-C With support USB4 and Thunderbolt 4. Who needs more connections can be made with the external module that you can see just above this paragraph, although presumably in Spain it will cost at least 200 euros. Microsoft Surface LapTop 13.8 “and 15” (2025): Price and availability Microsoft has confirmed that the new 13.8 and 15 -inch laptop surface will be available on February 18 with a starting price of $ 1,499 (approximately 1,442 euros).

Rosi Fernández, director of the Ananda Ferdí Hall, says that the pigtails, braids and other hairstyles that require pulling backwards They exert considerable tension on the follicleswhich can end in pain. “These hairstyles can also contribute to traction alopecia if they are maintained for prolonged periods,” he confirms. This, in turn, causes The hair breaks and ends up losing. Dr. Carlos Portinha, medical director of the Insparya group, says that “traction alopecia, very frequent among women, is common in people who wear tight or tight hairstyles.” “It is advisable to avoid them and Include specific products in our routine For each type of hair, “explains the doctor, who also insists on the importance of Use thermal protectors If heat tools are going to be used. © Getty Images “Dangerous” products He Risk of traction alopecia intensifies with the use of fixativeswhich accumulate a lot of residue in the scalp. This is confirmed by Dr. Carmen Orozco, with Capillary Hospital. “If they do not retire properly, they can obstruct pores and weaken hair fiber,” he tells us. “Moreover, some fixers contain alcohols that can dry hair, which can lead to fragility and fall,” he adds. From DS Laboratories they recommend Avoid these products because they leave rigid hair And, being in this state, is more fragile and prone to break When touching or combing it. They recommend “Opt for soft or flexible fastenerswhich include conditioning and strengthening ingredients, such as glycolic acid, which helps to give strength to hair fiber and Reduces frizz“ © Getty Images Three alternatives to ‘Clean Look’ There is nothing wrong with wanting to look from time to time Clean lookhowever, it is important not to fall into his abuse and, perhaps, resort to him only for special occasions.

A drawing by Leonardo da Vinci hid a hidden map. The work has revealed the secret tunnels of a castle of the 20th century

by

Year 1460. Francesco Sforza, the Duke of Milanhe made a decision: he needed a real residence according to his status. Thus, the nobleman seized the ruins of a medieval fortress in northern Italy and, for several years, supervised its reconstruction until it became a huge and majestic residence. Since then, The Sforza Castle took a legend accompanied: Under its foundations, Francesco would have devised a whole secret network of passageways. We had the solution in a picture of Leonardo da Vinci. A sketch as a map. As we said, Leonardo da Vinci’s monumental work continues to reveal secret centuries after his creation. The latest: a team of researchers from the Polytechnic University of Milan, in collaboration with Codevintec and Castillo itself, discovered that the rumors were true. In other words, There is a network of hidden tunnels under the Sforza castle in Milanand have been found based on a sketch of Da Vinci himself dating from the fifteenth century. Apparently, archaeologists used advanced technology to map the subsoil of the structure, such as terrestrial penetration radars and laser scanning, so that they not only confirmed the existence of the passages documented by Da Vinci In the so -called Codex Forster I At the end of the 15th century, but also They found indications of a more extensive system of underground corridors. History and function of tunnels. As we said at the beginning, Sforza Castle was rebuilt by Duke Francesco, although subsequently embellished by his successor, Ludovico Sforzawho apparently hired and He commissioned Da Vinci for the decoration of the castle, including the room Delle Asse, and designing an equestrian monument in honor of Francesco. During that process, the artist left detailed records of a system of underground tunnels and passages that, until now, had not been physically identified. In fact, It is believed that these structures were used for military purposesalthough there were also more personal and ceremonial passages. For example, one of the discovered tunnels connects the castle with the Basilica of Santa Maria Delle Graziewhere the iconic painting “The Last Supper” is located, as well as the tombs of the Sforza family, which suggests possible private access to the mausoleums of the nobility. Plus: Historians have raised the possibility that Ludovico Sforza use this tunnel to visit his wife’s tomb, Beatrice d’Ete, buried in the basilica. Technology and future research. The truth is that the finding not only expands the understanding of the castle’s architecture, but also opens new opportunities for the digital reconstruction of the site. Moreover, with the aim of developing a “digital twin” of the Sforza Castle, researchers plan to integrate the technology of augmented reality, allowing visitors to virtually explore these inaccessible spaces and know previously unknown historical details. “The objective is to create a digital model that not only represents the current appearances of the castle but also allow to explore the past, recovering historical elements that are no longer visible,” he settled in A statement Franco GuzzettiProfessor at the Polytechnic of Milan. And all thanks to Da Vinci and his ingenuity. Image | Sailko In Xataka | Leonardo Da Vinci established “The Tree rule” 500 years ago.

He housing price It has been one of the main concerns of the Spaniards. The increase in rent price The real estate market is tensioning even more. For many, the solution to that problem goes through Build more homes. The big problem facing Spain in this sense would no longer be available for spaces for those homes, but who will build them, due to the great scarcity of qualified labor In the construction sector. Bricklayer, welder or plumber on the roads of extinction. According to him last report of EURES (European Employment Service) on scarcity and surpluses of labor is warned that almost half of the occupations classified in the category of professions with labor shortages belong to the construction sector. These are specific works for which a training of several years is required for its development, which has been aggravated even more with the aging of the templates and with return from the migrant population, to their countries of origin. A good part of this population had occupied these positions for decades and now do not have a generational replacement that covers demand. An unattractive sector. A report of the European Federation of the Construction Industry (FIEC) points out that one of the decisive factors for this situation of labor scarcity is that the sector has failed to present itself as an attractive option for young people. The sectorial employer has recognized that its activity has been shown as tedious, with great physical and potentially dangerous demands. According to the report, this bad projection is also behind the low female presence in the sector, which has a presence of only 15%. Decades of precariousness. The report data suggest that young people have stopped seeing the construction sector as an option to develop their professional career because it is considered a very unstable sector in terms of temporality of contracts for work and service. In 2008, 25.2% of the sector employees were under 30 years old. In 2022, that percentage fell to 9.2% of the total workforce of the sector. The sector highlights that much of the activity in this sector is carried out through subcontracts or self -employed workers. The statistical data Facilitated by the Ministry of Labor and Social Economy corroborate this statement placing the construction sector as the second that concentrates the most self -employed workers (12.1%), only behind the services sector (73.9%). Change of trend. EURES points out that FP reinforcement As a formative model with wide professional exits and the ecological transition are marking a change in trend in which younger and more young people look at the construction sector. The need to build wind farms and stations for solar energy is giving a more technical character to this sector by promoting new professions that have a good reception among the FP students. Projects financed from the EU as “Woman Can Build“They are redefining the roles in the construction sector, eliminating the traditional idea of ​​not being a” for women “sector, thus increasing their labor base. A relay that does not arrive on time. Despite this change in trend among young people, from the National Construction Confederation (CNC) They point To today, some 700,000 qualified professionals are needed. Although the sector applauds the FP formation reinforcementthey assure that this is a medium -term solution that will still take some years to show Its effect on the labor marketso they are committed to recovering the figure of the apprentice between 16 and 18 years, so that these students can carry out practices at work and accelerate their training.

A new estimate of the Hubble constant delves into the problem

by

The “Hubble voltage”It is one of the greatest enigmas of contemporary cosmology. It refers to the fact that the increasingly precise measurements of the speed at which the universe disagrees expands. And not We have a lot of idea of why. Faster Now a new study has led Hubble tension to a new maximum. The work indicates that the observed acceleration of the universe is greater than what today’s physical models could explain. Theory and practice. There are two forms of measure the expansion of the universe. The first is based on the cosmic microwave background (CMB), a remaining radiation of the process that we know as big Bang. By measuring fluctuations in this background, it is obtained An estimate of the expansion speed of about 67 kilometers per second by Megaparsec (km/s/mpc), an expansion speed according to what the generally accepted cosmological models estimate. On the other hand, observations of the nearest universe tell another story. The cefaids are stars whose brightness is inversely related to the frequency with which they press. This allowed astronomers to create a “cosmic ladder” calibrating step to step the measurements of distances to increasingly distant objects in the cosmos. The problem is that this other measure estimates a significantly higher expansion speed: about 74 km/s/mpc. From tension to the crisis. The new study has deepened this discrepancy. The new measure based on the “cosmic ladder” has estimated an expansion rate even greater than the average of the previous measurements: about 76.5 km/s/mpc. This has led the team to point out that “The tension has become a crisis.” The step that was missing. The team responsible for the study created its own “cosmic ladder” from the DESI collaboration data (Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument). This instrument monitor about 100,000 distant galaxies thanks to 5,000 robots with fiber optic sensors that monitor space. The team responsible for the study had to “anchor” these data to our immediate vicinity, that is, put the first step of the “cosmic ladder” with which to measure the changes observed by DESI in its follow -up of these galaxies. To do this, he resorted to the cluster of the comma, one of the galactic clusters closest to the Milky Way. Supernovas To measure the distance to this cluster, the team turned to the light curves of 12 IA type supernovae located within your own Cluster. This type of supernovas shines in a very predictable way, so its apparent brightness gives us a good measure of its real distance. The details of the process can be consulted In an article Posted in the magazine The Astrophysical Journal Letters. The search continues. These types of intrigues generate great interest in the scientific community since it is through cracks in ancient models that are usually opened by the discovery of new theories. “It’s exciting,” explain those responsible for the study. But the truth is that, for now, we have few clues that allow us to solve this issue, either through substantial changes in contemporary models, either through changes in the paradigm.

In his first year “in crisis” selling electric cars, Musk puts the eye in optimus with promises and really psychedelic figures and figures

by

Tesla has closed 2024 with A 71% drop in benefits Up to 2.3 billion dollars, while income barely grew 2%. The company has registered its first historical setback in cars deliveries, something that We saw coming. Why is it important. The moment could not be more critical. Tesla is in front of a perfect storm: Growing Chinese competition, With Byd at the head. Global price war. Premium market saturation. End of government aid. Musk’s response has been remarkable: Price cuts that have eroded the margins to alarming levels. Between the lines. Musk seems to be repeating its usual strategy: in the face of disappointing results, it promises technological revolutions that divert attention to the fundamental problems of the business. This time, the bet is double: autonomous taxis and Humanoid robots. Yes, but. Musk’s closeness with Trump has triggered the value of shares more than 100% in the last year, challenging all financial logic. Investors seem to bet more on the political influence of Musk than by the fundamentals of Tesla. The operating margins have collapsed to 6.2%, from 8.2% of the previous year. Cybertruck sales have stagnated in 13,000 quarterly units. AND Every time they sell cheaper. Tesla depends more and more on regulatory credits: 692 million dollars this quarter. Trump has put them in the target. Between bambalins. The advertisement of the autonomous taxi Cybercab for 2026 And the beginning of Robotaxis operations In June of this 2025, he dangerously remembers previous promises unfulfilled. However, Musk insists: “This time the wolf is real. And it can drive alone.” Tesla is at a historical crossroads: either it manages to materialize its technological promises and maintains its position as an innovative leader, or runs the risk of becoming a more cars manufacturer, less and less differential with respect to others, and caught in a price war With diminishing margins. Deepen: The New version of Model and It will reach 60,000 dollars in March, 33% more expensive than the current model. The European records of Tesla fell 24% in October. The company It is under investigation due to fatal accidents related to its autonomous driving system. Tesla’s brand value was reduced by 15,000 million in 2024, partly for Musk’s political rhetoric. The Trump administration promises to eliminate incentives for electric vehicles. Musk says this will harm the competition more than his company, but analysts are not so safe: Tesla is no longer the only relevant actor in the premium electricity market.
