Altri’s megaplant has caused a huge social response in Galicia. And now the government has given him the lunge

by

In April 2022, the Portuguese company Altri chose Palas de Rei in Lugo to install a large plant initially destined for textile fibers (Lyocell). It was presented as “The most important project” From the Galician candidacy for the Next Generation funds and received early political support. However, according to They met The procedures and the real scope, collective and critical means began to refer to the initiative as a large cellulose panel, with much broader impacts than the “biophabic” label suggested. Three years later, the star plan runs out of plug: the central government leaves it out of electrical planning until 2030, and the project enters the risk zone. The decision that changes everything: without substation, there is no projectThis week, the Ministry for Ecological Transition He has left out of its 2025-2030 planning both the substation and the access to the network that Altri claimed for its plant. According to El Paísthe Executive has prioritized “more viable” investments, with greater socioeconomic return and lower environmental impact, and avoids loading consumers with projects associated with projects With financial uncertainty. Greenfiber – the promoting society participated by ALTRI and Greenalia— maintains that it is of a “purely political” resolution and announces resources; The PP of Galicia speaks of “punishment” to the Lucense industry, while neighborhood and environmental platforms celebrate the pass, without lowering their guard. He No of the central government. The Secretary of State for Energy claims that the substation and connection requested would only serve this project, whose execution is not yet guaranteed its financing, including request of 250 million euros in public aid (decarbonization belong). “We cannot assume a network investment that could be idle,” Sources from the Ministry transfer. For its part, According to El ConfidencialAltri warns: “Without connection there is no investment”, but progress that will exhaust “all resource mechanisms.” The position of the Xunta. The Galician government argues that the project meets and that the favorable day (published in the DOG) support your environmental viability under conditions and surveillance program, waiting for other authorizations. The Xunta insists that the factory It would be “energetically neutral” and that its electrical exclusion “takes Lugo from the industrial map.” Therefore, as they detail in the confidentialhas translated into a political confrontation has resulted in hard crosses between Alfonso Rueda and the leader of the PSdeG, José Ramón Gómez Besteiro, who advanced the government’s decision. The project from within. Different groups of neighborhood platforms such as Ulloa Viva, Brotherhoods of Marshamers of the Ría de Arousa and NGOs such as Adega and Greenpeace alert three key impacts: Water: Collection of 46 million liters daily of the Ulla and discharge of about 30 million liters/day – part at 27 ° C— in a river already tensioning for episodes of eutrophication, with potential condition to the Ría de Aruous. Raw material: estimated annual consumption of wood between 1.2 million m³ and even 2.4 million tons of eucalyptus. The divergence of figures underlines the controversy over eucalypticization and its effects on biodiversity and fire. Emissions and air: 75 -meter chimney and compound emissions acid rain precursorswith corrective measures subject to regulations. The Water War reaches courts. While the electrical board clears, the judicial one is turned on. Adega and the Da Ría de Arousa (PDRA) platform, together with the CIG, have filed contentious-administrative resources to declare the water grant file, having exceeded the legal deadline of 18 months without resolution, According to the jump. To the offensive They have added seven brotherhoods of the Ulla-Arousa and the entire sector of the Galician mussel. The Xunta replicates that the complexity of the procedure justifies the delay and that there is no damage to third parties, an interpretation that the plaintiffs reject to generate “legal insecurity.” And now what? Electrical exclusion opens a period of allegations and probable more intense prosecution of the file. Although the favorable day of the Xunta keeps the administrative channel, the “Electricity Class” and Water Concession alive places the project at its most fragile time. “Without water and without connection,” the detractors agree, “there is no macrocellulose.” Galicia returns to live a pulse between industrial promise and territory protection. Between an investment that the Xunta considers a tractor and a social license that, for now, does not arrive. The Palas de Rei plant, a symbol of that conflict, remains in the air: aside, the lack of network and the judicial front; On the other, the political effort to keep it afloat. The outcome is no longer settled only in offices: also on the banks of the Ulla and in the Ría de Arousa – and in court.

The Morgue of Paris organized “Open doors.” And caused tumults with thousands of daily visits

by

The bodies in the Paris deposit lie, motionless, completely naked except for small leather shrouds. Each one has died for a different cause, and all impute the reasons. Some have been stabbed in the belly. Another has drowned, he is swollen and his skin exhibits a obscene violet color. Another has been crushed by a heavy machine in one of the factories of the French city, increasingly industrialized and implacable. They all have something in common. They lie in almost vertical tables, which allow them to contemplate, on the other side of large windows, the thousands of Parisians who spend every day through the morgue. All bodies in the deposit can be contemplated by citizens. And it has become the favorite show of the pedestrians. In the mid -nineteenth century, walk in Paris to pass in front of the deposit and See the bodies It was the entertainment of fashion among citizens. Of course, there was an excuse: to help identify those who still had no name. But the morbid seized the population and went to see the exposed corpses became an entertainment that went far beyond public service, to the point that appeared in The guides of the time of the Parisian shows that the visitor should not be lost. Under the name of ‘The Museum of Death’, it was organized an entire industry around the facade of the body depositand it was easy to find actors, juggers and street artists asking for money in the surroundings of the great windows. He French playwright Leon Gozlan He described it like this: “You will see the drowned just like you go to other places to see the latest fashion.” And the very Emile Zola wrote: “The morgue is a show within the reach of all the pockets and that poor and rich passers -by may see free. The door is open, whoever wants to enter” Paris Danger At that time, Paris was a dangerous city (like all the great cities of Europe): crimes followed and occupied the first flat of the newspapers. And not only that: at this time when Industrialization grew by leaps and boundsthe mortality in the factories was very high, often the injured did not even have family in the city, but they came from rural areas and had arrived in Paris in search of money to feed their families, so that the bodies remained days in the deposit until they were claimed. These exhibitions in the morgue was like an extension of the black chronicle: the Parisians read in the newspaper about a crime or an accident and immediately could Expand the information going to see the bodies to the windows of the deposit. 40,000 people came to go to the dead daily (for getting an idea: Before your fireNotre-Dame received 30,000 a day). A true morbid show without a paragon in the history of the city. An example of what people came to see: on November 8, 1876, two packages containing the dismembered body of a woman were found in the Seine. The body was rebuilt, covered with a canvas and placed its head on it. A grotesque and brutal aging … that four days later of the crimes came to see more than 30,000 visitors, 40,000 on the 13th and 14th, the morgue records reached 68,250 entries. Almost a week after crimes, which makes a state of considerable decomposition. Finally, the closing of the show arrived: the Morgue of Paris closed the doors to the public in March 1907, when Criticisms won the unstoppable increase in morbid. Many newspapers complained, because their chronicles of which bodies were going to be exposed were among the most read of the daily rotations. The new century had just been born, and they were to come much more terrible shows. Although a little more modest.

A tsunami that caused thousands of dead

by

He Magnitude earthquake 8.8 Registered this morning on the Kamchatka Peninsula, it reminded many of the earthquake and subsequent Tsunami that devastated a segment of the Japanese western coast in 2011. However, to find a precedent closer to the recent event we have to go back further in time, as of November of the year 1952. Some precedents. Specifically to November 4, 1952at 18:58, Spanish peninsular time, 3:58 am in the Kamchatka Peninsula. It is estimated that this day, the failure that separates the Pacific and North America plates slid generating an earthquake of magnitude 9.0 (it must be taken into account that the logarithmic nature of the scale implies that the difference between both events could be remarkable). The event happened almost 73 years ago is maintained as the largest earthquake recorded in the region, although the archives of the United States Geological Service (USGS) also highlight an earthquake that occurred in 1923 that reached magnitude 8.4. Both the Today’s earthquake Like 1952 they had their OSONRO EPICENTROS (At a distance of only 30 kilometers from each other), unlike the one that occurred in 1923, whose epicenter was in the coast of the Peninsula. The consequences of an earthquake. The 1952 earthquake was not only the largest registered in the region, it was also the fifth largest earthquake measured by the instruments of the geologists. This event also unleashed a powerful tsunami with waves of up to 12 meters captured on the nearby Paramushir Island. The NCEI records (National Centers for Environmental Information), body responsible for preserving data and geophysical information of US institutions, indicate that the 1952 event cost the lives of between 4,000 and 14,000 people, with estimates that place the number in about 10,000 deaths. Despite its magnitude, there is no direct record of direct damages cause of the earth movement in itself. As on other occasions, it was the posterior tsunami that wreaked havoc: the estimates of the NCEI indicate that 99% of the victims of the event would have died as a result of the tsunami. More than earthquakes. Kamchatka is a geologically active region. In the environment in which the earthquakes of 1952 and this year were given, the Pacific plaque moves in the west-northwest direction, at a speed of about 80 mm a year with respect to the North American plate. This implies that between the two earthquakes the plates moved about six meters, Remember the USGS. Proof of the geological activity of the region are also the numerous volcanoes located in the Peninsula. The volcanoes of the region They are still active (As you have seen during the last incident), but also make up an interesting ecosystem that led Unesco to include them in your list of the World Heritage.

How a decision in France and a connection in southern Spain caused the blackout

by

Huenaja, a small Granada town of just 1,100 inhabitants and with more than 700 megawatts installed of solar energy, It was the zero zone of the blackout of April 28. In seven seconds, everything It was plunged into a total collapse. Now the expert committee of the European Network of Transmission Systems Operators (Entso-E) has identified Two questions. The investigation. For more than six weeks, this European agency has worked to find the causes of the blackout, apart from the Electricity of Spain and its Portuguese homologous, Ren. According to the reporthalf an hour before collapse, two episodes of power and frequency oscillations were recorded in the European continental network. The Iberian Peninsula, connected to the continent mainly through lines with France, began to lose synchronism. A new detail. The ETSO-E has pointed out that at 12:16 and 12:22, there was a change in interconnection with France: a system with dynamic control (hiking of direct current) was passed to a fixed export mode of 1,000 MW to the Gallic country. According to the experts consulted, this decision left the Spanish system without support for synchronous power, which reduced its margin of action before oscillations. As a piece of dominoes. Almost in parallel, Ree made an internal connection of lines in southern Spain, which, According to Entso-ewould have caused surge located in areas such as Huenaja (Granada), Valdecaballeros (Badajoz) and Don Rodrigo (Seville). Several electrical plants then activated their automatic protections, disconnecting to avoid damage. This further aggravated the tension in the network, triggering a chain reaction: generation falls, frequency loss and total disconnection of the Iberian system of the rest of Europe. Was any system activated? System defense plans, automatic mechanisms designed to stop these processes, were activated, according to has confirmed The report. However, they were not able to contain the fall due to the speed and intensity of the event. At 12:18:47, the interconnection lines between Spain and France were disconnected by protection against the loss of synchronism. At that moment, the peninsula was isolated and collapsed completely. A major debate. This crisis has uncovered a great conflict at the technical and political level, while responsibilities They pass like a hot potato. The debate is intensified around the backup systems and the penetration of renewable energy. On the one hand, nuclear plants They were criticized For disconnecting, but three were in scheduled stop, and the others operated normally until the system collapsed, activating protection protocols. On the other hand, the lack of inertia of the system has been stated again. Not synchronous renewable energies, such as solar and wind, They do not contribute inertia to the electrical systemwhich makes it difficult to stop sudden frequency falls. However, blaming renewables would be to simplify excessively. However, the technical report is clear: it was not exclusive fault of renewables, but a systemic failure, aggravated by operational decisions and structural limitations such as low international interconnection. An interconnection problem. The blackout has evidence They have demanded France that is committed to concrete deadlines and binding actions to advance in electrical interconnection corridors. What comes now. The Entso-E expert panel continues their research and have created A web page for this. Now they will meet on June 23 and will be delivered to the European Commission. Meanwhile, the event leaves an awkward lesson: in an increasingly renewable and decentralized electrical system, technical coordination, The operational resilience and cross -border planning They are more crucial than ever.

In case they were happening few things, the sun has just caused a radius blackout with its most powerful eruption of 2025

by

The sun has decided to remind us that we are in their hands. A new active region of sun spots, called AR4087, has released this morning a solar eruption of class X2.7, the most powerful so far this year. The sun was not asleep. Eruptions, glows or solar flares are classified as Five categories According to its intensity: A, B, C, M and X. Each letter represents events ten times more intense than the previous letter. An eruption X2.7 is located at the lower end of the most powerful category, but remains an important and unusual eruption. Observatories that constantly monitor the solar crown They detected it on May 14 at 08:25 UTC (10:25 in Spain). The X2.7 class flares has been the strongest of 2025, demonstrating that the sun is still awake After last year’s activitywhen it reached the solar maximum. Radio lock. Although it was not directed directly to the Earth, the eruption launched an intense X -ray pulse and extreme ultraviolet radiation that reached our planet at the speed of light. When impacting with the upper atmosphere of the Earth, this radiation has rapidly ionized, interfering with the high frequency radio signals (HF) on the visible face of our planet. As a result, a R3 level radius blackout was detected (cataloged as “strong”) in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. The show begins. The sun stain AR4087 remains very active and Soon he will look directly to the Earth As the sun revolves on its own axis. In the last hours he has produced class rashes M5.3, X2.7 and M7.74. The big question now is whether the most powerful eruption was accompanied by a coronal mass ejection, the famous solar plasma and magnetic field languages ​​that, when impacting with the Earth’s magnetic field, can cause geomagnetic storms and intense auroras to different latitudes, Like the historic Red Auroras of 2024. At the moment, the AR4087 region is at the visible edge of the sun, so the earth seems to be out of reach.

A metal fence 4.8 meters high and a door with security camera. That was the spark of a legal dispute that involves a property of West Lake Hills, an exclusive residential area on the outskirts of Austin, Texas. The house is linked to Elon Musk, According to information obtained by The New York Timesalthough it appears in the name of a limited society called Stratford House LLC. A property in the spotlight. The property was acquired in 2022 by this society and since then has been in the center of an urban controversy. According to municipal records, the structures were built without the required permits, contravening the local code. The case was discussed on April 16 in a session of the Zoning and Planning Commission, whose public act includes all the details. The Commission voted against granting the requested exceptions and the matter will now go to the City Council, at a meeting scheduled for June 11, after the applicant asked for a postponement. The before and after, captured by Street View. Google Street View images help visually draw the change. In a capture taken in 2018, the area appears without visible security elements. There is no metal door or closed structures, and in the background you can see a partially exposed building, as well as two vehicles parked on an open platform. View from Street View from an area close to the housing related to Elon Musk: before the reforms (2018) and then (2024) However, in the view corresponding to 2024, the environment has changed substantially. The entrance has been replaced by a metal door, accompanied by at least one visible surveillance chamber. In another capture you can see an imposing wooden door that did not exist in previous records. These transformations would have been carried out without municipal permission. View from Street View from an area close to the housing related to Elon Musk: before the reforms (2018) and then (2024) A story that has changed. All this contrasts with the image that Musk projected in 2021, When he said he lived in a prefabricated house in Boca Chicarented to Spacex, and that the only house of its property was a home for events in the San Francisco area. However, the aforementioned media maintains that the businessman has added at least three mansions in recent yearsamong them this controversial residence. The interior of the prefabricated booth in Boca Chica Beyond an urban issue. The controversy has also revolved around the privacy of the process. According to Correos obtained by the American newspaper, representatives of the alleged owner tried to persuade local authorities to keep the case secret. They argued that, due to their relationship with the Donald Trump government, it should be considered a “federal public official” and that both records and communications with the city were exempt from transparency laws. The city lawyer rejected the petition, protecting himself in the Texas Open Meetings Law. An additional request signed by lawyer Inna Kplun was also dismissed, in which he claimed that the presence of armed security personnel, including federal sheriffs, justified to deal with the matter outside the public scrutiny. The day everything came to light. As Kxan points outDuring the April 16 hearing, the owner’s representatives submitted six exception requests to the Municipal Code, including the five -meter high fence. They recognized that the structures were installed without permission in 2022, when the house was bought. Several neighbors expressed their rejection. The process is still open. But what began as a series of discreet reforms in a property associated with the employer has ended up becoming a public issue, exposed to detail in acts, internal emails and official documents. All in one of the most exclusive areas of Texas, where privacy also has its limits.

Trump tariffs have caused the Big Tech debacle in the stock market. And propose a slowdown in investment in AI

by

Apple shares closed almost 224 dollars yesterday. When the session is opened in Wall Street they will have fallen suddenly and porrazo more than 7%, up to 208 euros. That collapse will be the greatest among the Big Tech, but all of them They will be affected Notably for Tariffs announced by Donald Trump. And that makes another danger derived: that of investment in AI. Big tech fall to lead. As they point out In CNBCApple will leave more than 7% more to open the session in the US Stock Exchange, but others will also have very notable falls. Nvidia fell 4%”After-Hours” (after the closure of the markets), Tesla 4.5%, Alphabet, Amazon and goal between 2.5%and 5%, and Microsoft 2%. Thus Apple’s actions closed yesterday, and so they will begin the session at Nasdaq today. Source: Google Finance. Tariffs everywhere. Falls are due to tariffs announced yesterday by Donald Trump. The US president indicated that these import taxes would be “a declaration of economic independence” for his country. Base there will be 10%tariffs for all imports, but certain countries will be especially punished: China will have 34%tariffs, Vietnam of 46%, the EU of 20%, Taiwan of 32%, and Japan of 24%. The US is the great world importer. The huge consuming machine that is the United States makes the country the largest importer around the world. According to the Department of Commerce in 2024, the country spent 4.1 billion dollars in goods (3.3 billion) and services (814,000 million) imported. With these measures precisely wants countries that export more to the US to pay extra for being able to do so, but it can cause a dangerous domino effect. What about AI. Projects such as Stargate raise a colossal investment of 500,000 million dollars To create AI data centers in American field, and here the importance of semiconductors is evident. The United States will need to import chips and other components and materials to create these centers, and manufacturers such as NVIDIA or TSMC will precisely be affected by tariffs. Or continue to manufacture outside the US and pay tariffs or They create factories on American soil to avoid them, something that for example TSMC is already working. Tariffs with the point of sight in AI. In fact, a good part of the components and GPUS necessary to create these data centers are imported from Taiwan, Mexico and China, which are three of the countries that will be punished by tariffs. The punishment for these imports is remarkable, and can lead to a slowdown in the development of AI. Investments in danger. The investment in data centers is colossal by the Big Tech, and we have the example of Amazon that plans to dedicate most of its 2025 capex of 100,000 million dollars In these developments. How will tariffs condition that investment? Difficult to know, but both for Amazon and for the rest there are now new problems to make investment. That are added that perhaps They were oversized first of all.

Korea has a problem with celebrity suicides. The last one has caused an earthquake and sunk to a star

by

He February 16 They found in their house in Seoul the lifeless body of Kim Sae-Rona 24 -year -old interpreter who had become famous for his papers for Netflix and Disney+. It was a friend who discovered the body and alerted the police. Kim was alone. There were no clues to suggest murder. No signs of violence. Nor were health problems. What did drag were dark years, claims of payments, harassment in the networks and the shadow of a scandal that sank his career. From A first moment Police handled the case as a suicide. The tragic death of Kim Sae-Ron has however raised a huge dust that touches several sensitive issues in South Korea: Suicideonline harassment to celebrities, Hypercompetivitygender inequality and relationships marked by the age difference, something that is now taking its toll (in the literal sense) To one of the greatest celebrities of South Korea, the actor Kim Soo-Hyun. A tragedy … and an earthquake Around what happened in the apartment of Kim Sae-Ron before one of his friends found it, a month ago, there are few doubts. “We believe it made an extreme decision and planned to handle it as suicide,” I recognized Shortly after the body lifting the Seoul Police. Without great doubts about that particular, the great question that remained throwing was, why? What led an actress of only 24 years to take “An extreme decision”? For Kim’s father there are few doubts. The same day of funeral He pointed to a YouTuber with more than 620,000 subscribers that basically dedicate gossip on celebrities. In one of the many incisive pieces that he dedicated to Kim, the influencer He made fun for example that the actress had been forced to work in a cafeteria. Moreover, he even accused her of being a paripé to get attention. “His videos caused him a deep anguish,” remember The father of the actress. After suicide, the Youtuber just eliminated the contents. In the case of Kim there are however much (a lot) more cloth than cut. Throughout the last month it has transcended more information that helps to understand how its last years of life passed. Some was already public domain. Another not so much. Among the first, what was already known, is The incident He starred several years ago for driving under the influence of alcohol. In 2022, in an episode that soon attracted the attention of the media, Kim crashed into a railing and an electric transformer for drunk driving. The consequence: a small blackout, A fine of 13,000 euros… And something else, a irreparable damage In his image that seemed to precipitate the end of his career. That same year the Gold Medalist and Kim agency They did not renew his contract and It is counted That the producers came to edit (or directly eliminate) scenes in which the young woman appeared, such as ‘Bloodhounds’, released in 2023. Whether or not, the truth is that Kim, who debuted as a model being still a baby and achieved her first leading role with only eight years, saw how her career was truncated from night to morning. Just a year ago he tried to return to the stage with a role in a theater play, but he retired claiming “Health problems”. The 2022 accident with alcohol in between, satirical videos and the withdrawal in extremis of 2024 were made known; But they are just a part of the chronicle of Jim Sae-Ron. Another circumstance that has aroused much more interest in South Korea is its relationship with Kim Soo-Hyun, A 37 year old actor Famous in the country (and outside) for its papers in ‘Queen of Tears’ or ‘One Ordinary Day’. Around the alleged romance there are many shadows among other reasons for how the controversial actor himself and the agency that represents him has managed, the same one that worked in his day with Kim Sae-Ron. According to India todayIn 2024 the company denied that such a relationship existed for amending shortly after. The truth is that I know They have disseminated photos in which you can supposedly see both young people In affectionate attitude and about him Affair The YouTube channel have been spoken Garosero Resarch Institute and (more importantly) the Sae-Ron family. The Korean press has not escaped a detail that lends itself to different interpretations: Sae-Ron decided to take his life on the same day of Soo-Hyun’s birthday, although the relationship between the two would have ended long ago. Click on the image to go to Tweet. And why is it important? For several reasons. The main is that, As he has denounced The aunt of the deceased actress, the relationship between Sae-Ron and Kim Soo-Hyun began when she was 15 years old and he 27. Until 2023 the age of legal consent in Korea It was 13 yearsalthough later he rose at 16. The age of majority is in any case in the 19th. The perspective between a famous 27-year-old actor and a 15-year-old teenager has generated an intense stir in South Korea, shaking the debate and placing in the eye of the hurricane to Soo-Hyun. Kim Sae-Ron’s family has greatly influenced the subject and has even apologized to the actor. “We ask Kim Soo-Hyun who admits to have left with SAE-Ron when he was a minor and It apologizes publicly. We also demand an apology from your agency, which has denied the relationship for the past three years and even reiterated this denial just three days ago, ” demand. Around the case there is also another key and it is the role of the Gold Medalist agency, whose link with SAE-Ron was cut years ago but still linked to Soo-Hyun. The reason is simple: in recent weeks the support he gave to the actress has been questioned, after the 2022 scandal, and the pressure he exerted for demand reimbursement of 700 million wones, equivalent to about 440,000 euros. The agency He has already responded Speaking of “invented and unacceptable accusations … Read more

We have found a strange anomaly in the middle of the Pacific. It has caused a radioactive isotope that should not be there

by

A group of researchers has found a strange radioactive anomaly at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. And he has done it twice. The protagonist of the strange finding is a radioactive isotope of Beryllium, beryllium-10 (10be). Something weird happens on the ocean floor. The anomaly corresponds to a high concentration of this isotope in the strata of the seabed, which It has been detected In two points away from the Pacific Ocean, so it could be the indication of a generalized phenomenon. Experts do not know what this anomalous concentration of the isotope has caused, but they have several hypotheses that include astrophysical events or changes in ocean currents. Whatever the causative event, the team responsible for the finding has estimated that this happened about 10 million years ago. Product of a shock. The beryllium-10 is a rare isotope that is formed on our planet when cosmic rays cross our atmosphere and interacts with oxygen and hydrogen in it. The beryllium formed falls on the sea and ends up joining marine sediments. The semi -experience of these nuclei is approximately 1.4 million years old. After this time, half of the nuclei will have declined in Boro. Like others Radionucleids (Unstable forms of an element that decompose releasing radiation by becoming a more stable isotope), this beryllium is very useful in geological dating. Geological calendar. One of the best known radioisotpos is carbon-14 present in organic samples. In addition to the fact that carbon-14 is present only in organic samples, the time fork it gives us is relatively scarce: it can only serve us to date objects of up to 50,000 years old. The 10be, instead it allows us to ride ourselves 10 million years ago. A few surprising samples. The unexpected beryllium was found when studying a geological sample extracted from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean at a depth of several kilometers. The team examined the samples through a mass spectrometry with accelerator to evaluate its beryllium content and date its different strata. What they found was an anomaly in the sediments of about 10 million years ago. They came across that in this area the amount of 10be was double the one who would expect. The team examined several samples to contrast that it was not a contaminated sample. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine Nature Communications. Different hypotheses. The big question is now what caused this unexpected accumulation of 10be. The team responsible for the finding raises two possible hypotheses to explain this one, one related to marine currents and the second with astronomical events.

Nvidia lost 265,000 million dollars yesterday. Tariffs have caused terror among technology

by

Nvidia lost 265,000 million dollars yesterday. It was an especially Aciaga for her, with 8.69% fall in the value of her action, but the day was dyed red throughout the technology industry. The trigger for that setback in the bags was clear: the tariffs. Donald Trump confirms tariffs. After announce tariffs to Canada and Mexicothe US president initially postponed his application, but yesterday announced that they would definitely enter into force as of today. It is a controversial measure that will make imports from Mexico and Canada apply 25%tariffs, which will make these goods more expensive. Immediate drop in bags. Trump’s announcement caused a clear collapse of several technological actions, but Nvidia was undoubtedly one of the most affected, with a fall of 8.69%. Intel lost 4.05%, Broadcom by 6.05%, and supermicro 13%. The red numbers were seen in much of the technological market, with all the great affected, although to a lesser extent than Nvidia. The indices confirm the fall. As They point The Kobeissi Letter analysts, the S&P index already opened down, and Trump’s announcement quickly precipitated the fall: in just six hours the values ​​included in this index had lost more than 100 points, about 1.5 billion dollars jointly. Nvidia’s shares has returned to September 2024 levels. Source: Google Finance. Relationship with Mexico. Although most Nvidia chips are manufactured in Taiwan, some of their most advanced systems and equipment based on these chips are manufactured in other regions that include both the US and Mexico. That means that these products would be affected by these tariffs. Curiously, Trump’s announcement did nothing but reaffirm Mexico’s plans with the Foxconn plant in Jalisco: it will be the most important assembly factory of the GB200 cards with Nvidia Blackwell architecture, and those responsible for They promised which will be finished in a year despite tariffs.
