The record that brings aviation to the stratosphere

On the Alps of Valais, in a clear summer sky, a white plane advanced slowly, almost silent. He wore turbines or burned chest: it only depended on sunlight. In the cabin, the Swiss driver Raphaël Domjan faced a challenge that a few years ago seemed unattainable: demonstrating that aviation can also gain height without spending a single drop of fossil fuel. On August 12, the Solarstrates project reached 9,521 meters altitude After taking off from Zion. This exceeded the world flight record on a solar plane, which since 2010 held the lot promoted with 9,235 meters, which turned the world between 2015 and 2016, As France remembered 24. Five hours to make history. The ascent lasted five hours and nine minutes, carefully planned for the plane to take off with 100% charged batteries with solar energy. During the journey, they even crossed with a passenger plane, a moment that the team described as the most powerful image of what could be aviation of the future, As Berner Zeitung said. HB-SXA SOLARS It is an ultralight biplaza carbon fiber, with wings covered with high -performance solar panels. It weighs just 450 kilos and does not have pressurized cabin, which forced domjja to bring oxygen on board, According to France 24. Its benefits are modest – dispensing at low speed and does not exceed 140 km/h – but its design allows you to reach heights reserved so far to conventional aviation. Not a drop of kerosene. Beyond the figures, Domjan’s goal is to demonstrate that a clean aviation is possible. “My goal is to show today’s generations and tomorrow that it will still be possible to fly without fossil fuels,” declared CBS. The pilot himself is no stranger to pioneer adventures. In 2012, he completed the first return to the world on a ship driven only by solar energy, The planetsolara futuristic catamaran who showed that the sea could also arise without fossil fuels, Berner Zeitung recalled. That journey, which lasted more than a year and a half and left Monaco, made him an international reference of clean mobility. A record still to validate. The International Aeronautical Federation (FAI) must confirm the record by reviewing the altitude data, which are certified according to the pressure and air density, France remembered 24. The organization is reviewing the flight data according to its standards. SOLARSTRATS The eyes set in the stratosphere. The record flight is not the end, but one more step towards a larger goal: to exceed 10,000 meters, the cruise altitude of commercial airplanes, and then reach the stratosphere, which in Switzerland begins around 12,000 meters. The road has been full of attempts and learning. On July 31, soarstrats reached 6,589 meters; Days later he reached 8,224, although he had to interrupt the ascent due to lack of thermal currents, According to Techxplore. “Being a pioneer means trying something without having the certainty that it will work out,” Summarized Domjjan in statements to the AFP agency collected by RTL. Epilogue. Although the official validation still remains, the image of a small solar plane flying next to a commercial plane is already recorded as a symbol of the transition to a clean aviation. Since the Swiss Alps, the suns has not only beaten a record: it has opened a door to a future in which the unthinkable begins to fly with sun energy.

Tesla’s collapse in Europe brings bad news for Spain. Specifically, for Valencia

The Tesla gigafactoría project in Valencia has entered indefinite hibernation. From the memorandum signed with the Generalitat In June 2023there have been no tangible advances: neither public contracts, nor works of works, nor investment of investment. Tesla I had found ideal land in Chesteand the Consell – at that moment, of Ximo Puig – had promised express processing as a strategic territorial project, the same formula that has worked with Volkswagen in Sagunto. But there has been everything. Why is it important. Tesla’s paralysis leaves the Valencian Community with an industrial promise less and the urgency of not mortgaging public resources in ghost projects. Ford Almussafes is going through its worst crisis With you are and fall in production. The region needs real investments, not memoranda of understanding that do not reach anything. The case also shows the risk of the “announcement effects”: Land price inflation. Frustrated job expectations. Administrative resources dedicated to processing castles in the air. Valencia must learn from Sagunto: industrial projects are measured in signed contracts and verifiable calendars, not in preliminary meetings. The context. Tesla has gone from leading the continental electric market to An unprecedented sales crisis. In Germany, the first European market, it has barely sold 1,110 units in July – a 55%drop – while the electricity sector grew by 58%. The company has descended from the first to the fourteenth place among the best -selling brands in German territory. None of its models are among the most popular twenties in the country where it has its only European gigafactoría, which is also the most populous in the continent and one of the largest in purchasing power. In figures. Tesla numbers in Europe draw a generalized collapse: United Kingdom: -60% (987 units compared to 2,462 of the previous year). Sweden: -86%. Belgium: -58%. France: -27% monthly, -40% accumulated annual. European market share: 1.8% to 1%. The contrast. While Tesla sinksVolkswagen has doubled its electrical sales in 2025 and dominates the continental market. He ID.3 leads German sales with 2,907 units, followed by ID.7 with 2,675. Half of the electric sold in Germany already carry the VW logo. The gigafactoría of the German group in Sagunto advances as planned: work, signed energy agreements, production scheduled for 2026 and thousands of guaranteed jobs. A real project against an evaporated promise. Between bambalins. The Berlin factory has reduced the production shifts of the Model and three to two newspapers. Los Tesla not sold They accumulate in an old East German airport60 kilometers from the plant, waiting for buyers that do not arrive. The cheap model of 25,000 euros that Tesla planned to manufacture in Valencia is also frozen. The company now bets on a decaffeinated version of the Model and: same car but with fewer qualities, without glazed roof or rear screens. In summary. Tesla has gone from revolutionizing the electricity market to become a more brand among many, and not the best positioned. His ghost gigafactoría in Valencia is the perfect symbol of this fall: a project that was born as a promise of the future and has been reduced to a archived memorandum. While Volkswagen does build in Sagunto, Tesla stacks without selling cars in abandoned airports. The lesson for Valencia is clear: in industrial policy, the only jobs they count are those that have payroll, not those that appear in PowerPoints.

The scam of the son in trouble brings the police and the AI is getting worse

“Hello, mom. My phone has broken” like this or with some similar message begins the known as Son scam in trouble. This scam modality has been circulating for a long time and brought to the head authorities for its High effectiveness. The National Police has dismantled an organization that was dedicated to this scam and that it cheated large amounts of money. It has not been (nor will it) the only one. 32 detainees. The investigation began nine months ago and has resulted in 32 arrests in the province of Valencia, of which four acted as “mule” captors. Were . Thanks to these arrests, 63 complaints filed throughout the country have been resolved, whose total amount amounts to no less than 320,000 euros. In addition, the police have managed to block several fraudulent transfers and return to the victims more than 10,000 euros. A recurring scam. Although it is a large operation, it is not the first organization that is disjointed that used this modality of fraud. A little over a year ago The Civil Guard arrested a hundred people that came to cheat 850,000 euros. In July of last year an operation was also carried out with 65 detainees who had scammed 410,000 euros. And there has been more. Just a few days ago A neighbor from A Coruña who cheated 5,000 euroshe denounced and thanks to this, those responsible were arrested. Too effective. Scams that come by WhatsApp There are many, but few who get so many victims and figures so high. This modality of fraud is very effective, which makes it the most dangerous. According to the Civil Guardscammers study the victims, who have a child emancipated by studies or travel. The scammers create “an instant emotional connection after which they move the urgency with messages of despair, causing the parental protection reaction.” We normally distrust when they write to us from unknown numbers, but in this case the pretext of having lost the main mobile is used, so the main doubt is resolved. If the scammers have chosen their victim well, it is very easy to create the story and end up sending a bizum to their supposed son or daughter. The next level: AI. Although they are not the most common, there are cases in which Voices generated by AI have been used to cheat To the victims. It was the case of an American citizen who received a call in which he listened to his daughter to shout that they were going to harm him if he did not pay. The National Police He has warned about what they call ‘Voice Hacking’ and gave a trick to protect us: Use a family password. And how do they clon the voice? With tools like Vall-e only Three seconds are necessarysomething very easy to get social networks. Protect yourself. Although the authorities are making efforts such as the operation that has taken place in Valencia, eradicating it completely seems quite complicated so the best is prevention. The first thing if you receive a message of this type is to try to write or call the original number to see if the person answers. You can also ask you to send you an audio, although it is much better to make a video call since you avoid a possible ‘voice hacking’. In short, if someone asks for money and also has a hurry, always distrust. In Xataka | After the Sonny Angel, the madness of Labubu arrives in Spain.

brings us closer to a nuclear spatial war

The antimisile shield that Donald Trump wants to put in the land orbit has triggered a forceful reaction of the Kim Jong-un regime. The word is Nuclar. The North Korean Foreign Ministry has described the Golden Dome project as “the height of arrogance and arrogance”, according to North Korean state media. The Pionyang cabinet accuses Washington of being “determined to militarize the outer space,” and warns that the initiative It could trigger “a global nuclear and spatial arms race”, turning the earth’s orbit into “a potential nuclear war field.” What is the Golden Dome. An antimile shield that, despite its name Inspired by Israel’s iron domewould use multiple layers of detection and interception “by land, sea and space”, including a network of sensors and interceptors deployed in orbit, such as a satellite constellation. So ambitious is the project that, as announced by Trump and its Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegesh, would mean a “generational investment.” The White House has spoken of 175,000 million dollars over three years to be operational before 2029. The Congress Budget Office estimates that only space interceptors could cost up to 542,000 million dollarswith a two -decades deployment period. The promise is ambitious. A shield capable of demolishing hypersonic, ballistic and cruise missiles, even if they are thrown from the other side of the world or from space, in all phases of attack. Technology would be based on both existing systems and new developments. According to Reuters, a consortium led by Spacex, Palantir Technologies and Anduril Industries leads the race To display detection satellitesbased on the Starlink constellation. The hypothetical armed satellites for missile interception from space are the technologically most challenging and mysterious part of the project, among other things because they would have to be resilient to attacks with anti -attack weapons, that several powers have. An armed space. North Korean critic of the Golden Dome resonates with China’s, which Last week he expressed His “serious concern” for the “strong offensive implications” of the American antimile shield. Beijing accuses Washington of seeking “absolute security for itself” under a “United States first” policy, which “undermines global strategic balance and stability.” However, countries such as China and Russia have also advanced positions in the militarization of space, with satellites that pursue other satellites, secret deployments and spy spy airplanes.

The persistence of the blockade in the middle of May brings us storms and a lot of uncertainty

In recent days, a Dana has been affecting a good part of the peninsular territory. And, even if it seems, the news is not that it will continue with us “favoring the development of intense and organized storms.” Will do it (As of Tuesday, “Depression will tend again to descend on latitude in an erratic and retrograde movement, approaching our geography”); But that begins to be the least. The most thing is that, for the umpteenth time, A persistent blocking pattern It continues to hinder the zonal circulation. A puzzle called “Spring of 2025”. As Sergio Escama explains in detailcurrent instability is due to three weather pieces: The anticyclone of the Azores that, despite being placed in its usual place, continues to have a strange elongation to the north (a kind of slide) that allows the arrival of Atlantic storms to the Peninsula. A dorsal that from Central Europe attracts the entire continent and arrives at the British Isles A continuous transfer of low pressures that passes between the two anticyclones and reaches our latitudes. Time-out! However, the next two days will be more stable and temperatures will tend to rise. Of course, the minimums will continue lower than normal and should not surprise us if we find frost in mid -May. But in a matter of days, the situation will become complicated again. Because, as I said, the Dana that now seems to get away will start going down back to us And, predictably, it will form a system with another that ascends from southern Africa. That is, between the Tuesday and Thursday a significant increase in stormy activity is expected. In fact, due to uncertainties associated with this type of phenomena, agencies are preparing: storms can be strong and t could affect any point in the country. Of course, the center, the north and some parts of the west of the peninsular territory They will take the worst part. What can we expect? In addition to low temperatures, What we are going to see They are storms (some very intense) that will cause rays, storms and hail. But that is in the short term, in the long term no one is very clear about what will happen. We are in a year in which many areas have seen rains as they did not see since the beginning of the records. March, as we know, has been One of the rainiest since 1961. The interesting thing is that May will also be above the average and nobody knows how all this will affect summer. So we enjoy it and cross our fingers so that this is not an anecdote, but a change of trend. Image | Tropical tidbits In Xataka | Spain has received more rain than ever this spring.

Openai brings to the EU the ‘Live Camera’ mode to see the world in real time

“I see that you wear a hoodie.” This is a fragment of conversation that Chatgpt And an OpenAI employee maintained just over eight months ago. The company of artificial intelligence (AI) led by Sam Altman presented his new model GPT-4O And he showed us how he could help improve his famous chatbot. At some point, Chatgpt could use the camera of our device to see the surrounding environment and, consequently, offer us a deeper experience. Something like what we saw in the movie ‘Her’, saving the distances. This mode landed first in the United Statesand now it is deploying in the European Union. Hello, chatgpt. What do you see? The novelty, known as’Live Camera‘It is a complement to the advanced voice of Chatgpt, a very promising combination of technologies. In another of the demonstrations shared by the company We have seen the chatbot knowing a puppy named Bowser or helping to learn Spanish to some users. We are facing a tool that can also be very useful for people living with some blindness or visual disability. Since the way of vision You can identify objectsyou can describe in natural language what is in front of the camera. The underlying technology, GPT-4O, also promotes the app Be My eyes. Chatgpt’s real -time vision vision It should be noted that the novelty that is being deployed today allows us to share with chatgpt what is on our screen. So the model could help us solve, for example, mathematical problemsas we have seen In other videos shared by OpenAI last year during the initial announcement of the tool. The activation icon and the welcome screen of the Live Camera mode Well, now that we know everything we could do with the latest of Chatgpt the question is how we can start using it. In the first place, we will have to keep in mind that it is a payment feature, that is, it is available for Chatgpt Plus users ($ 20 per month) and Chatgpt Pro (200 dollars per month). Theodore falls in love with Samantha in ‘Her’, a movie released in 2014 If we meet this requirement, we will only have to make sure to have the updated application. We open the application and click on the lower right corner button to activate the advanced voice mode. We will meet the camera button Below the left, an element that we must press to begin the action. Chatgpt will remind us that it is an option that is in the beta phase and the system will possibly ask us permission to access the camera. If we agree, we accept and begin to interact with this most advanced version of the chatbot. To share the screen in real time, click on the three points and then the corresponding option. It is important to keep in mind that paying for Chatgpt Plus does not provide unlimited access to these functions. So we will have to adapt to whats Use limits newspapers established by OpenAI or, in case our budget allows it, pay $ 200 per month for Chatgpt Pro to use these models without limitations.
