He has not created a superhero, but radiation has given healing powers to the most unexpected material: to concrete

by

It is difficult to imagine a world without concrete. This material has been fundamental in the history of mankind And it is still a pillar in modern construction. Although we are exploring more sustainable alternatives such as woodthere are constructions in which the concrete remains the clear protagonist. An example is nuclear power plants, which need to be resistant and well isolated. And a new study has investigated The effect of nuclear radiation on concrete. The most surprising thing is that radiation bombardment has an effect … curative. The study. The researchers at the University of Tokyo were not looking for a U -cement Self -backreparable concretebut the impact of nuclear radiation on concrete. Being the main structural material and armor in nuclear centrals and reactors, there is a concern about how radiation influences the aging of that armor. Specifically, the objective was to verify what is the impact on quartz, a common material in the rock that is used in the mixture of concrete, regardless of the part of the world in which that mixture is manufactured, and measure the impact on quartz It can help us understand how radiation affects the structure of the building. The good news is that, in theory, these concrete structures are more stable in the long term of what was believed, since radiation induces relaxation processes in quartz that allow some recovery of their internal structure. Irradia the quartz. To carry out the study, the effects of the irradiation of neutrons in different types of quartz were investigated. The synthetic, metacuarcita, sandstone and granodiorite quartz were irradiated at a temperature between 45 and 62 degrees Celsius, with a damage by displaced atom that ranged between 0.01 and 0.23 units. IPPEI Maruyama is one of those responsible for the investigation and Comment That the flow of neutron radiation “distorts the crystalline structure, causing amorphization and expansion.” This would be something negative because it implies that the material is not stable, but the surprising thing is that, due to the role of silicon and oxygen within the quartz grains, a healing process is triggered that mitigates the expansion of the volume of the material induced by Radiation. Self -repair. “At the same time there is a phenomenon in which distorted crystals recover and the expansion decreases,” says Maruyama. This is something that depends on the size of mineral crystals within concrete. For example, the largest grains showed a lower expansion, so the degradation of the concrete, which is one of the current concerns when building and maintaining nuclear centrals, could be less severe than what was thought. Likewise, the researcher confirms that “a lower radiation rate allows more time for self -reparation”, allowing nuclear energy plants to “operate safely for longer periods of time” of which it was expected initially. Next steps. There are still questions to be resolved, since the same team comments that they have a task ahead. The University of Tokyo’s team has been studying the impact of radiation on concrete since 2008, but confirms that it is an expensive field of study, so carrying out extensive research is not easy. Now, with this finding, Maruyama is confident that they will continue to explore the impact of nuclear radiation beyond quartz to, for example, see if that expansion phenomenon occurs in other minerals that make up the concrete. The objective is not only to predict how cracks are formed due to the expansion of minerals that are being bombarded by radiation, but how to select the best materials to create a much more resistant concrete for future nuclear energy plants. Beyond the centrals. We will have to see the next steps of the researchers to strengthen those first opinions of the study, but it is evident that getting a self -realistic concrete is an obsession. Due to CO2 emissions during its productionto what Its maintenance is very expensive Since it is ending world -sand reserves, having a material that repairs itself is something that different teams throughout the planet have been investigating for years. And progress has been made, such as mixtures with sugar either coffee that allow some self -repair of concrete. We will see, yes, what takes to use that new concrete on a day -to -day basis.

It is not for bad taste, they are just business

by

Ferrari has been highlighting as a synonym for luxury and exclusivity. The manufacturer of “Il Cavillino Rampante” imposes on its clients a strict decalogue of rules of behavior and use of your carsunder the threat of introduce your name into a blacklist that will make them Customers ‘Non Gratos’. Being on that list prevents, no matter how much money you have, you can buy a car your brand, something very common In the luxury industry. As reported The British The TelegraphFerrari would be studying more energetic measures against those clients who want to modify the appearance of their supercar with extravagant customizations. The reason they argue from Maranello, their intention is to protect the legacy of the brand from those modifications that remain the value of the brand. “We have been thinking internally in defining in advance the combinations (colors). We have to pay attention because we have to defend the values ​​and identity of the brand. We will not make a strange car, sure,” explained Benedetto Vigna, CEO from Ferrari a The Telegraph. The balance between customization and legacy The Italian brand has a very strict policy in terms of its brand image. For example, in 2014, the brand sent an order of cessation and withdrawal to the DJ Deadmau5, which had decorated its Ferrari 458 Italia with a vinyl of Nyan Cat to create the Purrari 458. If the brand did not reverse that customization I would prevent you from buying another Ferrari. The designer Philipp Plein also He received a Ferrari call After publishing in his social media profiles the photo of some sports shoes designed by him on the roof of his Ferrari 812 Superfast Green. In addition to forcing him to remove the photos, the brand sued him. Ferrari is at a crossroads in which he is forced to choose between protecting the legacy that, as a luxury supercoches brand, must convey to his future, and The lucrative business in which the customization of luxury cars has become. It is true that Ferrari has always remained in a Conflict between tradition and modernitybut the figures that move the exclusive customization of its cars are infarction. According to the official dataFerrari obtained a benefit of 1,525 million euros in 2024. Some 1.3 billion euros of these benefits were billed from units that had gone through the Ferrari Atelierdivision that the brand has created to respond to the exclusive requests of its customers. Therefore, imposing more strict measures on “after -sales” customization outside the brand control would not only seek the goal of preserving the prestige of the brand, but also seeks to monopolize the execution and billing of these customizations, something that marks like Lamborghini are also doing. Round trip cars On the other hand, Ferrari’s interest in maintaining his brand identity is also oriented towards the second -hand market, where Ferrari is the priority buyer by contract. When someone buys a Ferrari at a concessionaire, he must sign an opportunity agreement. That contract forces the client to notify the brand when want to sell your car and Ferrari will have priority to buy it. If you try sell it to a third party without warning The brand will face a judicial process and important economic sanctions. Taking into account that priority, Marca wants to make sure that their cars are sold quickly and do not lose value in the process. Therefore, one of the measures you have prepared is to reduce the number of colors available to make them more timeless. Ferrari’s CEO said that almost all cars that came out of Maranello’s factory looked their iconic Rossso Corsa. Today, just 40% of the new Ferrari take it. “There are places in the world in which they like to have a fixed menu. There are other places where they prefer the letter and the freedom to choose what they want. But there are some combinations that are not pleasure from the second potential buyer,” he said Benedetto Vigna. The director of Used Vehicles of Ferrari, Andrea Scioletti, assured to Drive that more than 90% of the Ferrari who have left the Maranello factory They are still in circulationso any customization that does not align with the vision of the Italian manufacturer will leave a lasting scar.

Some researchers have analyzed the impact of sugary drinks on world health. They have taken their hands to the head

by

The sugary soft drinks conquered the world a few years ago. Thanks to its flavor and Marketing strategiesthe soft drinks became the very image of globalization. Little by little we began to be more aware of the health hazards that the excessive consumption of these drinks carried, so much that, even in some European countries it was created THE REFRESCO TAX. With the, The consumption of free sugars was reduced In certain cases. But a new one study It reveals that its intake is still very high in many countries. So much that there is an alarming link between the usual consumption of these drinks and millions of new cases of Type 2 diabetes every year. Sugary pandemic. The trigger has been a study by the University of Tufts, in the United States. Reviewing the drinking data of the global dietary database, a database with more than 450 surveys with information on the consumption of sugary drinks and a sample of 2.9 million people belonging to 184 countries, they ran into an elongent figures . Approximately, and according to this study, sugary drinks would be related to 1.2 million new cases of cardiovascular diseases and 2.2 million new cases of type 2 diabetes. Every year and worldwide, something surprising if we take into account The normalized and integrated that these drinks are in all societies. The reasons. It is not a novelty that sugary drinks are related to type 2 diabetes, obesity and other disorders, but the reason is that they are foods that are digested quickly, causing very pronounced blood glucose spikes without providing essential nutrients. They are empty calories like those that a beer can have, but with a much larger amount of sugars. This absorption process, repeatedly, contributes to the weight gain already most important: insulin resistance that carries metabolic problems related to the aforementioned diabetes or cardiovascular diseases. Many cases, but … What does it mean? According to the study, 80,000 deaths per year for type 2 and 258,000 diabetes due to cardiovascular diseases related to soft drinks. Latin America and Africa. In countries that have fought in recent years to promote healthier diets and lifestyles, as well as the taxes we mentioned a few lines, that sugar consumption has decreased, but it is not something that happens throughout the world. In fact, in the study, researchers have focused on two territories: Latin America and Africa. According to these data, in Mexico the usual consumption of these drinks with almost a third of the new cases of diabetes is associated. In Colombia, the percentage rises to almost half. And in South Africa, about 28% of new cases of diabetes and 15% of new cases of cardiovascular episodes are related to these drinks. The explanation they have found is simple: in countries and communities with lower average income, little access to information and more limited preventive medical care, cases are triggered. Not all. Now, what drinks are we talking about? The study focused on the data of the sugary drinks with added sugars and, at least 50 kilocalories per 240 milliliters of product. It is something that includes soft drinks, energy drinks, fruit juices with added sugar, punch and even water with flavors to which sugar is added. Outside the focus is milk (which also has sugar), 100% natural juices without additives and without calorie products, being these sweetened drinks without added sugars. Of course, these drinks may be in the spotlight of subsequent studies, since researchers point out that, although they do not have added and not naturally present sugars, excessive consumption can also have negative health effects. Solutions. Laura Lara-Castor is the main author of the study and Comment that “urgent and evidence -based interventions are needed to curb the consumption of sugary drinks worldwide before more lives are shortened by their effects.” Dariush Mozaffarian is another of the authors, who believes that, above all, much more interest in Latin American and Africa countries should be put. Mozaffaian sees this as a real epidemic and considers that, “as a species, we need to address the problem of sugary drinks.” Now, as with almost everything, the study emphasizes the high and constant consumption of this type of drinks, since under normal conditions, a sporadic soda (without being healthy), is a whim that we can afford. In the end, the study does not want to focus on individual responsibility, but in a collective that involves governments and health systems. And, perhaps, at the most complex: The industry that creates that type of drinks. Image | Xataka In Xataka | There was a time when Coca-Cola had ‘cocaine’.

What countries have nuclear weapons and how many each one possesses, summarized in an eloquent graphic

by

The final judgment clock was never closer of the end in its 78 years of history. Also known as ‘Watch of the end of the world’ or ‘Apocalypse clock’, it is a symbolic clock that indicates the danger of a nuclear war. The closer to midnight, the situation is worse, and it is something that has to do so much with global instability, geopolitical tensions and, obviously, Countries with Nuclear Arsenal. And in this graph we can see very clearly what are those countries that control more nuclear heads and, above all, which of them have nuclear armament deployed and ready to use. The photo. A few days ago we published a graph in which we could appreciate the evolution of nuclear arsenal over time. The figures were surprising, with more than 70,000 nuclear heads at the high point of the Cold War. After different disarmament policies, the main powers – United and Russian states – got rid of their arsenal, but not at all. In the upper chart elaborated By visual capitalist, we can appreciate who the powers are in nuclear arsenal (no surprise in this regard) and which country is accelerating. In addition, something very interesting is also how these nuclear heads are distributed. Ojivas disposition. When talking about nuclear arsenal, it tells as many units a country and their disposal. Thus, we can distinguish between: Ojivas deployed: They are installed in intercontinental missiles, heavy bombers bases or short -range operating systems. They are those that are deployed in case of emergency and these may be at strategic or non -strategic points in short -range bases or platforms. Ojivas in reserve: They are stored, but not mounted on a missile. Ojivas withdrawal: They are intact, but in the process of dismantling. Inventory. Although the graph leaves the imagination little, it is always more interesting to see the figures. Of the 12,121 nuclear heads estimated there are today, this is your disposition: Total Strategically deployed Not strategically deployed booking Withdrawal Russia 5,580 1,710 0 2,670 1,200 USA 5,044 1,670 100 1.938 1,336 China 500 24 0 476 0 France 290 280 0 10 0 United Kingdom 225 120 0 105 0 India 172 0 0 172 0 Pakistan 170 0 0 170 0 Israel 90 0 0 90 0 North Korea 50 0 0 50 0 China growth. In the end, Russia and the United States monopolize 88% of all world nuclear arsenal, but although we have countries such as the United Kingdom or France with a large number of heads deployed at strategic points, there is a new player who has already done with the third Put in Nuclear Arsenal. China It surprised the United States last year due to its rapid nuclear growth In recent years, overcoming expectations and with An arsenal between 500 and 600 heads. They have deployed only 24, with the rest in reserve, but the objectives of the Asian giant are clear: match the United States and Russia in the next 10 years. Cold War II. Although China, precisely, is promoting pacts not to attack first With nuclear arsenal, time plays against. In January last year, the Watch of the Final Judgment was alarmingly located only 90 seconds of midnight. This year, 78 seconds, marking the closest point in history. This fact, although it may seem symbolic, reflects an increasingly unstable international panorama. To this concern is added the imminent expiration of Start III treaty In 2026, a key agreement that has limited for years the amount of strategic weapons deployed by nuclear powers. The situation is aggravated if we consider Russia to He disconnected of this treaty in 2022, after the deterioration of its relations with the West Due to the conflict in Ukraineopening the door to a new arms race without clear restrictions.

What cars can circulate and which ones rest on February 8

by

Second weekend of February, second Saturday and, of course, second day of the month where we have to face the Sabatino does not circulate today. Because some cars will have to rest but the one who does not rest is the Sabatino. This happens because this is defined by the program devised by the CDMX Secretariat (Sedema) where all restrictions of the Sabatino does not circulate today. All these restrictions, as you know, only apply where the does not circulate today is active. Therefore, we will only find it in the 16 mayors in Mexico City and in the following conurbation municipalities of the State of Mexico: Atizapán de Zaragoza Coacalco de Berriozábal Cuautitlán Cuautitlán Izcalli Chalco Chicoloapan Chimalhuacán Ecatepec de Morelos Huixquilucan Ixtapaluca La Paz Naucalpan de Juárez Nezahualcóyotl Nicolás Romero Tecámac Tlalnepantla de Baz Tultitlán Chalco Valley What cars and plaques affect the Sabatino today Ok, but what to take into account to understand well what it consists of today does not circulate? Well, as specified in the superior image, there are cars that cannot move throughout the day, from Monday to Friday. The restrictions are defined depending on the hologram and the last plaque issue, thus defining who and when they stay at home. On Saturdays, however, the thing is complicated because the restrictions are changing. To know what we are talking about, we must bear in mind that these combinations of hologram and plate number give us three assumptions that apply on Saturdays: Cars that can circulate every Saturday Cars that have to rest every Saturday Cars that rest on a Saturday yes and another Of course, keep in mind that these restrictions only apply between 05:00 and 10:00 p.m.. That is, at night we can move freely and without taking into account any type of restriction. Once we have all this in mind … The first thing we have to be clear about is that cars with hologram 0 and 00 are in luck because they have nothing to take into account. These cars can circulate without problem. The same happens with those of Hologram 2 but, in this case, they are the other face of the currency. Cars with hologram 2 cannot circulate any Saturday. They are those of Hologogram 1, therefore, those who rotate. Depending on the last plaque issue, it is one or the other who stay at home. In this case, the February 8, as is the second Saturday of the month of August, will be the cars with a plate finished in even number that will be resting. Next week will be the cars of Hologram 1 and odd number. However, we cannot forget that there are some restrictions. Beyond the time control, the following cars can move with total freedom: Those that work for electricity, natural gas or are hybrid Those who have disabled plate All those dedicated to urban transport services (includes funerals) Those who offer school or passenger transport Those destined for public safety and/or civil protection In case of breaching these restrictions, the fine will be 20 to 30 times the unit of measurement and update (Uma), which is equivalent to 1,924.40 pesos and even 2,886.60 pesos.

If you had thought about Friday night and Saturday morning to take some online games with your favorite PlayStation game, you may have to change plans. PlayStation Network (PSN)the service that allows you to play in line with other users, is fallen and does not work. The information comes to us From Downdectorwhich accounts for the generalized failures that are occurring at this time. Due to the problem, all online multiplayer experiences are being affected. That is, it is not an inconvenience of your Internet provider. Curiously, The PSN network service status page It shows no problem. Says that “All services are active“And that properly works the managing, the games and social networks, PlayStation Video and PlayStation Store. Although many users fail to play online. In addition to what Downdetector reflects, Several users have reflected the problem in Reddit and x. They explain that PSN is not working and that when trying to connect, the platform informs them that it is “in maintenance”. It is not clear what is the origin of the problem that affects Sony at this time. In development.

Airbus’s hydrogen plane was going to reach the market in 2035. It has now been delayed in the midst of “great” challenges

by

Airbus wanted to take the me. First commercial plane of the world propelled by hydrogen In 2035. The ambitious initiative continues to exist, only that it is not clear when it will end up materializing. The European aerospace giant has recognized that the project is progressing at a slower pace than expected. As Reuters collects He said that “the development of a hydrogen ecosystem, which includes infrastructure, production, distribution and regulatory frameworks, is a great challenge that requires global collaboration and investment.” One of the most important obstacles has to do with obtaining renewable hydrogen. An ambitious project, multiple challenges The main objective of the hydrogen plane is to reduce air transport emissions, and at this point the Hydrogen production: Obtaining large quantities using renewable energy is still complicated. Green hydrogen needs a lot of investment And a long way to go to be widely profitable. Guillaume Faury, CEO of Airbus, has said in the past that there is a doubt that there is sufficient green hydrogen in the future to boost a large number of commercial airplanes, but the company has continued to boost its plans to reduce emissions, which also include the use of Sustainable aviation fuel (SFA). Airbus has not yet given a new calendar for the project, but the signs are not optimistic. According to the Force Ouvrière union, workers were informed this week that technology has a delay between five and ten years with respect to the necessary rhythm. With this panorama, the objective of 2035 seems increasingly complicated. The aforementioned organization has indicated that the European firm is also evaluating the completion of “Certain subprojects” It is not clear if in addition to the aforementioned challenges related to the alternative fuel supply there are other disadvantages in the development of proposed aircraft. Airbus presented three concepts in 2020. The first, a turbofán with capacity for about 200 passengers and a range of 3,704 kilometers. The second, a more content turbohyl, designed for about 100 passengers and with 1,852 kilometers of reach. And the third, a mixed wing model, also turbophah, with the same figures as the first. The company also contemplated two propulsion systems. On the one hand, the Hydrogen combustionwith gas turbines with modified fuel injectors. On the other hand, a completely electrical propulsion system with hydrogen fuel batteries, which feed electric motors that turn the propellers or plane turbines.

The largest campus in Europe will arrive with an investment Emiratí multimillionaire

by

If they ask us what place in the world concentrates the largest number of companies from Artificial Intelligence (AI) known, the most obvious response would be the United States. The North American country is the home of OpenAi, Microsoft, Google, goal, among others. Europe, on the other hand, does not have such recognizable names in the sector. And it is no accident: if the continent wants to compete from you to you with its main rivals, including the thriving Chinese marketyou need to bet more strongly for this industry. Along these lines, some governments are already implementing certain initiatives. At the community level, Brussels has announced an investment of 52 million eurosSpain has laid the foundations for an “public and open” With a strategic planand France wants to lead with the largest IA campus in Europe From the hand of the United Arab Emirates. The latter has been released recently by both governments and promises to arrive accompanied by a multi -million dollar investment. Betting on artificial intelligence France aspires to play a leading role in the rise of algorithms. This week, Paris was the epicenter of a World Summit on AIwhere experts from around the world entered the threats and promises of this technology. Within the framework of this event, President Emmanuel Macron and Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, leader of the United Arab Emirates, They witnessed the signing of a cooperation agreement between their countriesa pact that promises to enhance the development of joint projects. Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed al Nahyan, leader of the United Arab Emirates (up to the left), Emmanuel Macron, president of France (above right) As the Emirates news agency collectsthe alliance includes an investment by the nation rich in oil in France, as well as “the acquisition of avant -garde chips, the infrastructure of data centers and the talent development, and by establishing virtual data embassies to allow Sovereign AI and cloud infrastructure in both countries. ” The French government, meanwhile, has pointed out that the initiative contemplates the construction of a huge data center. Its exact location has not yet been revealed, but what is known is that it will be a 1 Gigavatio installation within a largest IA campus in Europe. This ambitious project, with an estimated investment of between 30,000 and 50,000 million euroswill be led by a Franco-Emirati consortium, with the MGX investment fund, backed by United Arab Emirates. We will have to wait to see how this initiative develops and if it manages to reinforce the position of the European country, home of companies such as Mistral AI, in an increasingly competitive sector.
