We have found a plant capable of producing 40 cannabinoids. A closer plant evolutionarily to lettuce that to hemp

by

Cannabinoid compounds are closely related to gender plants Cannabishemp. A relationship that is manifested in the same name of these compounds, among which perhaps the most recognizable are THC (Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol) and the CBD (Cannabidiol). However, this link is not exclusive. The Lanudo umbrella. The Lanudo Umbed (Helichrysum Umbraculigerum) is a plant originally from South Africa that stands out for containing 40 compounds of the cannabinoid familymany of them disconodful so far. This plant belongs to the genre known as paper or helicriso flower, a genus very raised from cannabis, and closer to plants such as sunflowers or lettuce. Beyond the striking of this fact (as contrast, in the plants of the genre Cannabis More than 100 cannabinoid compounds can be found), the team responsible for the analysis indicates that the finding can help us in the development of new therapies linked to these compounds. “We have found an important new source of cannabinoids and developed tools for sustained production, which can help explore its enormous therapeutic potential,” pointed in a press release Shirley (Paula) Berman, member of the team responsible for the finding. Diverse therapies. Although in some contexts we do not have solid evidence of its effectiveness, the therapeutic use of Cannabinoids It has been extending as long as the study of its biochemical and therapeutic properties progresses. A context in which these compounds do highlight is that of the relief of nausea in people in aggressive treatments such as chemotherapy. Other potential uses are in the treatment of pain, anxiety and epilepsy. As explained by the team responsible for the new study, the fact that molecular receptors capable of interacting with these compounds are common in humans and extending beyond our brain throughout the body makes their potential huge. This also explains that your study is so extensive, covering from neurodegenerative diseases to cancer. Synthesizing compounds. If we want to develop treatments through these compounds, understand how they are naturally synthesized in plants is vital. That is why it is relevant to the fact that the team managed to reveal the biochemical process used by the plant in the production of these compounds. In his study, the team used high -resolution mass spectroscopy, with which he identified the Cannabinoids contained in the plant. He combined with nuclear magnetic resonance with the aim of finding the structure of some of the compounds found. From there, the team could reveal the biochemical “path” followed by the plant when it comes to synthesizing these cannabinoids. The details of the process were published In an article In the magazine Nature Plants. CBG. Of the 40 compounds found in the plant, only half a dozen are present in marijuana. In fact, the team points out, neither the THC nor the CBD are present in the Lanudo umbrella. The compound that is common to both plants is the CBG (cannabigerol). From the ritual to the laboratory. The discovery of cannabinoids in this plant is not entirely new. The clues that pointed to this fact date back decades. As explained by the team responsible for the new study, the Lanudo umbrella used to be used in rituals in which he burned to generate “intoxicating” fumes, which encourages us that the tracks were already there.

Intel has a bullet in the bedroom. A bullet capable of helping you compete from you with TSMC

by

The possibility of Intel ending chopped and its semiconductor factories become part of TSMC production infrastructure It is on the table. As we explained two days ago, this producer of Taiwanese integrated circuits and the American chip designer Broadcom are interested in getting two fundamental parts of Intel. TSMC is preparing an offer that would allow you to control Intel integrated circuit manufacturing plants with the purpose of developing your manufacturing infrastructure Beyond Taiwan’s borders. On the other hand, Broadcom is also preparing an offer to get the integrated circuit design and marketing divisions of Intel. In any case, if the TSMC initiative will finally prosper will stumble The opposition of the government led by Donald Trump. Currently it is unlikely that the administration approves the purchase of such an important division of an American company by a foreign company. Discordant voices are being raised within Intel Ben Sell, Vice President of Intel Technology Development, confirmed At the end of last September that the 18A node already has the maturity necessary to enter large -scale production in 2025. and also assured that it will benefit from the resources that have been reallocated since the 20A node. In the current scenario the 18A node will be the true protagonist. In fact, and this is really important, Intel has confirmed which will receive a maximum of 3,000 million dollars within the framework of the ‘Chips and Science Act’ program to manufacture semiconductors for the US government in a reliable way. The 18A node is the best opportunity that Intel has to resume the course and improve its competitiveness The name of this plan, “Safe Enclave”, reflects one of the requirements required by the Administration: Chips must occur in the strictest confidentiality. And, as we can intuit, these integrated circuits will be manufactured in the 18A node. Definitely this integration technology is the best opportunity that Intel has for resume course and improve your competitiveness. In fact, voices are being raised within the company itself that demand a little patience to give this node the opportunity to place Intel on the path of recovery. This statement by Joseph Bonetti, main manager of Intel engineering programs, expresses this vision very well: “Intel leaders, Board of Directors of Intel and Donald Trump’s administration, please do not sell or give the control of Intel Foundry to TSMC just when Intel is taking the technological front and starting to take off. It would be a terrible and demoralizing error” . Bonetti also maintains that Intel is not lagging for its competitors, and that the advances that their engineers are achieving in the field of chips production are very important. At the current situation there is no doubt that the 18A integration technology is the best Intel asset to recover health, but it is important that we do not overlook that its technicians have been calibrating more than a year and adjusting their first lithography equipment of extreme ultraviolet (UVE) and haute opening manufactured by ASML. Intel has them in its Hillsboro plant (USA). The first tests with this machine presumably carried out them at the end of 2024, and in 2025 the preliminary tests that pursue to manufacture circuits integrated in the 14A node will begin. It sounds exciting. We will follow the track to this machine very closely to keep you aware of all progress.

‘Gambling Man’ is the portrait of the man capable of betting billions after a 12 -minute conversation. And lose

by

Technological capitalism continuously disappoints its investors regarding what continually promises them. In 2022, when Masayoshi are announced losses of 23,000 million dollars in softbankthe market pretended to surprise what was inevitable: the collapse of a bubble inflated by the megalomania of its architects itself. It was not the first time they were seeing a fortune evaporate. He had already lost 99% of his wealth in the Crash of the ‘Puntocom’. The pattern is repeated because it should be repeated: the eternal reproduction of the same, where each cycle of boom and Bust Technological needs its own prophets and martyrs. They are represents both roles with particular dedication. Lionel Barber’s new biography about Masayhoshi are‘Gambling Man‘, portrays a man who has turned the extreme risk into a show. The book aims to unravel the genius after seemingly irrational decisions, but ends up revealing something more important: how modern technological capitalism has normalized recklessness as business virtue. They are, who like to compare with Napoleon and Genghis Khan, embodies the violence of a system that has made the disruption its mantra. Invest 4,400 million dollars in Wework After a 12 -minute conversation because it can do it – as well portrayed the phenomenal Wecrashedfrom Apple Tv+ – because el System rewards the grandiloquent gesture about rigorous analysis. Economic rationality is subordinated to the imperative of the show. The mechanism needs, of course, a distortion of the objectives it says. SoftBank does not really seek to identify the best technological companies in the future, seeks to feed the narrative that you can do it. The reality is that the Vision Fund It operates as a validation machine: Validation for Son, which found in money and success a way to overcome discrimination suffered in postwar Japan; validation for founders who receive their investments; Validation for a market that needs to believe that someone, somewhere, can see the future. “If you are intelligent you do not need leverage, and if you are silly you should not use it,” said Warren Buffett, who in addition to being the best investor in history is a great representative of a more sober and methodical capitalism. Perhaps the first is not understood without the second. They are represents the antithesis of buffet: a system where the mass leverage –SoftBank came to accumulate more than 150,000 million in debt– It is not a means but an end in itself. Debt as a show, as a demonstration of power. What surprises is not that they are survived their failures, but that the system needs them. Each multimillionaire loss reinforces its misunderstanding image, willing to bet against consensus. “At some point, everyone will tell you that you are crazy,” he proclaims. The line between vision and reckless has become deliberately diffuse. Today, while driving A new multimillionaire bet in chips for AIThey are still playing their role in this work. The public applauds because it must applaud: the fiction that after each new technological bubble there is a visionary genius is too comforting to abandon it. He show It must continue, although we all know how it ends.

We have new evidence that there is a “dark atomic force” capable of “deforming” in the nucleus of atoms

by

The atomic nucleus might seem well explored in an era in which scientists focus their efforts on better understanding quantum mechanics and interactions between subatomic particles that star in this science, such as Quarks or gluons. However, perhaps we still have much to learn about how the protons and neutrons that structure it are organized in this nucleus. New clues. A new study, led by PTB researchers (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt) German and the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics (MPIK), He has revealed The existence of small “deformations” in the nucleus of atoms. This finding indicates the possible existence of a “dark atomic force” that governs interactions between neutrons and electrons within the atom. From dark matter to “dark force.” In 2020, a MIT team (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) observed something strange when comparing different isotopes of the ytterbiumelement number 70. The team examined changes in electronic resonance between isotopes of the element (different versions of an element that differ from each other in the number of neutrons) and ran into results that were not expected. That experiment could have been the first time that someone crossed with an still inexplicated phenomenon that some call “dark atomic force.” This means basically that we are facing an interaction between particles (in this case neutrons and electrons) still unexplored. A force in this sense analogous to the most studied “dark matter”, which only interacts with conventional matter through gravity. According to Explain the responsible team From the new study, there is the possibility that there are also “dark forces” that govern interactions between dark matter and conventional matter. In the same way, there is the possibility that these forces also affect matter within the same atoms. Measuring deformations. Finding these hypothetical interactions is not easy. To find its trail, the team responsible for the new study measured the frequencies in the atomic transition and the isotopic mass ratios between the different isotopes of the iterbio. Each of the two laboratories that led this research analyzed these changes using a different methodology, but in both cases these measurements involved much more precise measures than those carried out in previous experiments. The team thus confirm the existence of an anomaly in the observations. The details of the experiment and its results were published In an article In the magazine Physical Review Letters. From practice to theory. In its article, the team tried to theoretically base the anomaly observed in the experiments as a result of collaboration with researchers from the Technical University of Darmstadt and other institutions. These data, They explainthey also allowed to extract direct information on the deformation of the nucleus in the different isotopes of the iterbio. This way of “looking inside” atoms could help us acquire a totally new perspective in the analysis of the heavy atomic nuclei and in the “matter rich in neutrons.” This line of research could, for example, help us better understand the physics of the neutron starsbut also establish new paths of collaboration in the search for the long -awaited “new physics”, they add.

The Bank of Spain alerts a malware capable of “capturing bank credentials.” His name: Trickmo

by

The scams and fraud are the order of the day. The one that most and the least will have received a called with a synthetic voice offering easy money, An SMS with a fraudulent link or a mail supplanting identity of some service or company. According to the Ministry of Interior, only in 2023 426,744 computer scams were registered, 27% more than in 2022, and the thing does not seem to go less. Scams and malware are the order of the day and today is the turn of talking about Trickmo, protagonist of The last alert of the Bank of Spain. Trickmo. That is the name that receives this peculiar malware. The Bank of Spain refers to him as “one of the last dangers detected”, but the truth is that It is not the first time that we hear about him. Trickmo is a Trojan with many variants, as explained by security companies such as Cleafy and Zimperiumand is able to record the screen, register single -use codes, grant permits and simulate the blocking or mobile pin. The goal? Banking keys, of course. According to the Bank of Spain, this malware “infiltrates mobile devices through malicious applications that we download or fraudulent links.” In the case of installing it, “Trickmo can have access to our SMS, capture bank credentials and access our accounts without authorization.” In addition, the agency points the following: “(…) There is a variant of Trickmo that” paints “a false interface that simulates the mobile screen, where it records the movements we draw on it to, in this way, obtain our pin or the unlocking pattern.” False screens generated by Trickmo | Image: Zimperium Affected. According to Zimperium’s analysis, the main countries affected by this malware are Canada, United Arab Emirates, Türkiye and Germany. For the map shared in the report, it seems that in Spain there have also been affected, but the percentage is minimal with respect to the four mentioned above. How to avoid it? The Bank of Spain offers some basic tips, such as maintaining updated software, not downloading apps from external sources to offices, Activate two steps authentication and pay attention to attachments and files. With regard to banks, most likely they never send links by SMS. In the emails and URLs, however legitimate that they seem, it is best to check the sender and notice that the “or” are not zeros, for example. And before the doubt, always consult with the bank.
