China is building the fusion-fission reactor that the US canceled decades ago. The future of nuclear energy depends on your fate

by

In the newly built Yoohu scientific island, next to the city of Nancheng, China advances discreetly in its plans to materialize a project that the United States explored and abandoned decades ago: the hybrid fusion-fission reactor. Xinghou-1. His name means “spark”, and is inspired by an appointment by Mao Zedong: “A single spark can set the entire meadow.” But it’s no small thing: it has behind An investment of more than 200,000 million yuanthe equivalent of 28,000 million dollars. The objective: build a hybrid central with 100 megawatts of electrical power, 300 megawatts of thermal power and, most importantly, a plasma energy gain factor (Q) greater than 30. An unprecedented achievement that could redefine the future of nuclear fusion nuclear energy. What all this means. To understand the magnitude of this objective, you have to put it in context. The nuclear fusion, the same process that feeds the stars, promises clean energy without the radioactive waste of current nuclear fission. The great challenge is get a fusion reaction to generate more energy of which consumes. The National Ignition Facility of the United States achieved in 2022 a historical milestone with a value q of 1.5demonstrating for the first time a net energy gain. The International Experimental Thermonuclear Reactor (Iter), a gigantic multinational project that is being built in France, aspires to achieve a Q> 10 to demonstrate the viability of large -scale fusion. Xinghuo, however, points to a Q> 30, the threshold that experts consider necessary for a merger plant to be commercially profitable. How does China plan to make this giant leap? The answer is in your hybrid approach. A fusion-fission reactor. That is, a reactor that uses the high energy neutrons generated by a fusion reaction (the “spark”) to bombard a mantle of fistible material such as uranium. This triggers a fission reaction that greatly multiplies energy production. In essence, use the fusion as a catalyst to make the fission much more efficient. The Xinghuo-1 project has already entered into the initial phase, which includes the tender and evaluation of its environmental impact. Its development is in charge of the state company Nuclear China Industry 23 Construction Corporation (CNI-23) and the private company Lianovation Superconductor. The road that the United States abandoned. The concept is not new. During the 1970s and 1980s, the United States Department of Energy investigated hybrid reactors before political priorities changed. Concerns about nuclear proliferation (hybrids can be used to produce plutonium) and a strategic commitment to “pure fusion” such as the definitive and cleaner solution led to the abandonment of this line of research. United States, and with it much of the West, They put all their chips on projects like the iter. China, on the other hand, has seen a shortcut in the hybrid model. While pure fusion follows decades away from its commercialization, a hybrid reactor like Xinghuo could connect a merger plant to the electricity grid much earlier. As soon as in 2030, According to SCMP. A coordinated national commitment. Xinghuo is part of a well -financed fusion ecosystem. China also maintains the East project, a Tokamak fusion reactor that has been able to maintain a 100 million degrees plasma for more than 17 minutes. The Huanliu-3 project, a newer and more powerful tokamak in experimentation phase. And the CFETR project, A large -scale pure fusion reactorconsidered the Chinese equivalent of Iter. The success of Xinghuo not only depends on its own advances, but also on the development of a complex industrial supply chain for key components such as superconductor magnets and the thermal vacuum chamber. If China makes Xinghuo work, either in 2030 or 2035, the implications would be seismic. They would demonstrate the viability of a route to commercial fusion energy that the rest of the world abandoned long ago. He could put Beijing years, if not decades, ahead in the energy race.

If the question is “I can wear a free hand suitcase with Ryanair”, the response of justice is: it depends

by

Win and lose. And along the way a fine continues to float a fine and the consequences derived from it. The sanction to Ryanair receives an extra cost in the hand suitcase continues to leave us sentences and one thing is clear: neither the justice itself agrees. A fine. It all starts last November. One is confirmed Historical fine to four operators. Of these, Ryanair is the most affected. The sanction is 107.78 million euros and is imposed to breach the rights of passengers to carry a hand suitcase without extra cost. At least that is what the government that sanctions the company through consumption. Ryanair, on the contrary, has another opinion. Yes, it accepts that there is a regulation that allows free hand luggage to be carried out but it shields that there are no established measures for it. As there is no “standard” suitcase, they charge to carry the luggage that can be transferred to the winery. What are Ryanair’s conditions? First of all, what we have to know is that Ryanair does let a lump to the cabin. But that is, exclusively a lump that does not exceed the measures of 40 x 20 x 25 cm. That size does not comply with those considered as cabin bags that extend up to 55 x 40 x 20 cm and 10 kg of weight. In that case, in carrying with us a trolley to the cabin of the plane, we will have to pay the fee Regular or priority that opens the door to that usual suitcase in the planes and a second lump such as a backpack or a bag. This game with the diffuse areas of the law, that of not being defined in any regulations what are the exact measures of a suitcase, is the one that the Irish company grabs to defend its position before the demands of the users. Ryanair wins. At least in Seville. There, the company has made the resource of a client who was forced to pay for the cabin suitcase does not prosper. Section 2 of the Mercantile Court of Seville has dismissed the demand filed by the traveler, they explain since The world. The client understood that they were charging 12 euros on a round trip (six per trip) illegally. However, the Sevillian court buys the defense of Ryanair: it is not true that it is prevented from flying with a free suitcase, what Ryanair prevents is accessing with a suitcase superior to the dimensions of 40 x 20 x 25 cm. And they point out that the client was allowed “to carry a lump of reasonable dimensions.” Ryanair loses. At least in Salamanca. There, the company has to return 147 euros to a passenger receivable the cabin suitcase in five different routes between 2019 and 2024, they point out in eldiario.es. The affected person is a Facua partner, an association through which they have filed their demand. In this case, the passenger denounced that the company had forced him to choose the rate Priority to be able to access the cabin of the plane with your hand luggage in which it only wore basic clothes and equipment. The judge has based her decision that “hand luggage is an indispensable element of passenger transport (…) cannot be subject to price supplement,” they collect in The world. Beyond specific cases. What we have, in addition to two contradictory sentences, is that the battle between Ryanair and the Government continues. On the one hand, from the Executive they defend the consumption decision and, on the other, Ryanair continues to show that the sentences in which they obtain favorable results They are certification that the company “fully complies with the legislation of the European Union.” The problem for passengers is that the pulse between Ryanair and Government has overflowed and is affecting peripheral airports, where the company had a substantial role in air traffic and where is marching as a pressure measure To the Executive. In fact, the company has insisted that if Aena’s rates do not fall in the future (the excuse to reduce the presence in these places) will continue to derive its operations To other places. Operations like its new line to Morocco that despite the low volume of occupation keeps open thanks to a government doping. Doping that, by the way, We have also applied in Spain.

Europe’s access depends on the United States. ESA has presented a strategic plan to become independent

by

Guarantee the technological autonomy of Europe in space will be key in the rearma of the European Union. He ESE Strategic Plan For the next 15 years it has just made it clear. The document, entitled “Strategy 2040: raising the future of Europe”, establishes as one of the priorities of the space agency to strengthen autonomous access to orbit and independent from NASA. At what point is that. With an annual budget of 7.7 billion euros, the European Space Agency has a powerful scientific exploration program: it has just presented The first Euclid space telescope data set, He is on his way to Jupiter’s icy moons with Juice and Has Hera traveling to the Dimorfo asteroid as a spatial defense mission. ESA also develops the Galileo navigation system of the European Commission, which is more precise than the American GPSis behind one of the most advanced land observation programs that exist: the constellation of Sentinel satellites, which is part of the European Copernicus program. Also together with the European Commission, ESA just closed An agreement of 10,000 million euros (between public and private funds) to build the constellation of Iris2 satellites. The objective: reduce the strategic disadvantage of Europe in front of the Starlink constellation and the incipient Chinese constellations. Europe also has a wide network of observatories and the ability to communicate with deep space with antennas in Madrid, Argentina and Australia. In fact, one of the NASA deep space network stations (DSN) has A station operated by INTA in Robledo de ChavelaMadrid, from where he communicates with his Martian rovers and other probes. What depends on NASA. ESA does not have its own spacecraft to transport astronauts. From the veto to Russia and its Soyuz capsules, it depends exclusively on the Crew Dragon ships of Spacex to access the International Space Station, either in NASA long -term missions or in commercial missions of short duration of the AXIOM company. The same thing happens with the Artemis missions to the moon. ESA is one of NASA’s most important partners in its lunar program. Plans to carry up to 1,500 kg of load With each flight of the Argonaut lunar moduleand has contributed a key component of the manned ship Orion: the service module. However, NASA has prioritized the presence of a Canadian astronaut in the Artemis II mission and A Japanese astronaut In the future of the launning. The giant’s rear. While that collaborates closely with NASA in many important missions, such as the detection of objects close to Earth, James Webb space telescope or the mission of recovery of land samples mars mars sample return (Now in pause), Much of its infrastructure follows the rear of the American space agency. Especially in launching capacity. In addition to the best funded space agency (25.4 billion dollars of annual budget), the United States has the most buoyant and advanced private space industry in the world. Spacex puts 80% of the mass that is launched globally a year, and is the only company, along with Rocket Lab, which usually reuses its pitchers. In recent years, Europe has had to launch some of its most important missions (including Galileo strategic satellites) in Falcon 9 rockets of Spacex for an internal crisis of pitchers. The European plan. For all the above, added to the political context, one of the central objectives of the EES in its Strategy 2040 is to reduce the dependence of the United States in spatial matters. A good part of their future public contracts will be oriented to boost the growth and competitiveness of the European private space industry. The goal is to generate more than 250,000 jobs related to space in Europe. At the same time, ESA will take advantage of its research facet to collaborate more closely with European universities in the development of new generation technologies. For this they need to attract talent to the careers of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, so it starts from the work will be inspired by young people with space missions and the communication work of their astronauts, Among them Pablo Álvarez and Sara García. Reusable rockets. European releases have been stagnant in an inefficient duopoly: heavy satellites are thrown with French Ariane rockets and light satellites do it aboard Italian rockets Vega. Ariane 6 and Vega C are barely beginning to operate normally after erratic years, but its disposable nature puts Europe in a vulnerable situation against Spacex and the US New Space. Things are going to start changing. The German company Isar Aerospace could become this March 24 In the first European company that launches a commercial rocket, the Spectrum, to the land orbit. The Spanish PLD Space hopes to do it at the end of the year with the Miura 5ura rocket. There are only two examples of the effervescent panorama of European microlanzores, but all have in common the support of the ESA and ambitious plans to turn their rockets into reusable. Pld ha announced even a manned ship called lynx. At the forefront. Recovering the lost terrain with its own reusable rocket ecosystem and manned ships is only part of the plan. ESA also plans to expand its satellite constellations, lead the world in the elimination of space garbage, participate in future orbital stations and lunar bases, and develop high thrust engines such as Spacex or Blue Origin, for which you have granted A contract to the Spanish company PANGEA AEROSPACE. He does not expect to have everything ready suddenly, but the strategic plan projects an increase in launches from 2030 and an increasing capacity to launch heavier loads at more distant orbits, without depending on foreign pitchers and without neglecting the development of other technologies, such as advanced communications systems and autonomous capabilities for asteroid surveillance. In short, give the 23 member states that finance ES an autonomous access to space. A matter of money. In return, the European Space Agency asks Europe for something very concrete: more money. Its budget is less … Read more

Parental control depends on a subscription

by

It is Sunday, February 2, and that means one thing: that the Mobile World Congress begins. The doors have not yet been opened, but the brands have begun to make presentations. One of them is Global HMD. The brand, which until relatively little manufactured nokia mobilesnow signs the smartphones with their own name, HMD, and it has been seen in the city to launch a new batch of products. One of them is a mobile for young people. And yes, it comes tied to a subscription. HMD Fusion X1. That is the name that HMD has given its new terminal, a device that has been developed in collaboration with Xplora. This brand may be familiar, since it is known for its Smart Watches with GPS for children. The company has not revealed its specifications or mentioned anything about the price, but it has commented that its key point (parental control) depends on a monthly payment. HMD Fusion X1 | Image: Xplora Parental control (payment). Leaving aside the technical characteristics, the Quid of this terminal resides in the Xplara subscription, whose price starts from 4.99 euros per month. According to HMD, this subscription “offers parents a total control over the experience of use of the smartphone of their teenage children (…) while offering a device for which young people can be excited.” What does it include? In HMD’s words, for 4.99 euros a month, parents can customize access to the internet applications. According to the company, this “allows parents to choose to restrict social networks and internet navigation or limit them.” Likewise, continuous monitoring of the location in intervals of 20 seconds with safe areas, emergency calls, low battery alerts and remote access to the device for parents is included. HMD Fusion X1 | Image: Xplora A “school mode” has also been added that “guarantees that distractions are reduced to a minimum during school hours blocking specific applications and functions when necessary.” All that, of course, can be controlled remotely from the parents’ phone. And more security. HMD has also announced a collaboration with Safetoneta system that offers “offers protection on the device based on artificial intelligence, automatically detecting and blocking the harmful content before it reaches the user, without depending on external applications that can be eluded.” This will be released in summer, thus being the first brand to do so.

The founder of Deepseek has been placed in just two weeks among the greatest fortunes of Asia. But it depends on who you ask

by

The presentation of Deepseek R1China’s artificial intelligence model has shaken the foundations on which AI in the West was being built. A priori, this model would have achieved similar results to those of OpenAi, but with only a fraction of its cost of development, something that has then had its nuances. All this Financial tsunami In AI has left a clear winner: Liang Wenfeng, CEO of Deepseek and one of the seven founders of the company. Thanks to the success of its AI model, Wenfeng has become a Milmillonario, although no one knows for sure if their fortune has an assessment of 1,000 million or 150,000 million. It depends on Who is asked. The key is Deepseek. In relative terms, the Fortuna Liang Wenfeng At least 84% of the value assigned to Deepseek amounts to 84%. Therefore, the key is to determine how much Deepseek is valued to establish the fortune of its main owner. The problem is that, just like companies like x Openai, Spacex, Neuralink and many others, the company’s value is not public by not being quoted in the stock market as It is NvidiaApple or Microsoft. In this case, the market price Determine the value of the company. However, in the case of private companies, that value is given by third parties. For example, OpenAi’s different financing rounds have served as a framework to establish an assessment of the company, placing it around 157,000 million, according to Forbes. The same goes for Spacex that, after its last financing round, its investors estimated that the company was worth 350,000 million dollars, As reported Bloomberg. With China it is not so easy. Depseek was created as a secondary research project promoted by Wenfeng within its High-Flyer Investment Company. As published by Forbes, Depseek does not seem to have received third -party investments, so there is no external agent that can offer a founded assessment. Given the opacity of the investments of Chinese companies, the tracking of new assessments becomes complicated. The only alternative that remains to know the estimated value is comparing it with its equivalent rivals. Approximate estimates. As published by Bloomberg, seven AI experts and startup founders have estimated that Deepseek’s value would remain between 2,000 million and 30,000 million dollars, although there are more extreme assessments that give figures between 1,000 and 150,000 million dollars. “It is basically impossible to give a convincing response in this case because it is a private and secret company that is financed internally with the commercial gains of the founder,” declaredBloomberg Jeffrey Emanuel, founder and executive director of the Blockchain Pastel Network Startup. One from Those rival companies which can serve as a reference is Anthropic, which thanks to Amazon financial support He has achieved one 60,000 million assessment. The French Mistral AI also would enter that comparisonand its valuation has been 6,000 million dollarsso the most moderate average range seems to be the closest to the reality of the Chinese company. Estimation of the fortune of Liang Wenfeng. Based on those most conservative estimates, Wenfeng’s fortune would move between 1,680 million and 25.2 billion, only in regards to his participation in Deepseek. However, we must not forget that Depseek is only Wenfeng’s “Side Project”, and that his main job is in high-flyer. Based on financial records, Forbes estimated That the Wenfeng Investment Fund has about 8,000 million in assets, so the company values ​​in about 240 million dollars. Therefore, participation in High-Flyer would contribute about 180 million dollars more to the fortune of Liang Wenfeng, placing it in the select Milmillonarios Club that They have made fortune thanks to the AI.

If the question is whether your company can include you in a work WhatsApp group, the AEPD leaves no doubt: it depends on who pays

by

In many companies, WhatsApp groups or from any other social network, they have adopted the role of a communication board, from which the company or those responsible for employees They organize shiftsroutes or vacations of its employees from a single channel. However, despite being very convenient for the organization of the company, adding employees to These groups It is an exhibition of your private data. Is it legal that the company includes you in one of these Work groups of work? The answer: depends d. Use of WhatsApp on personal mobiles The Spanish Agency for Data Protection, supported by a sentence of the 2019 National Court established the pillars of the use of mobile devices in the workplace, indicating that employees are not obliged to use or install applications for professional use. That is, if the mobile in which the line that will be included in the WhatsApp group is personal, or the line itself is, is installed, or The company cannot force the worker to be part of the group. Including that number in a WhatsApp group without the express consent of the employee would violate article 5 of the Organic Law 3/2018, of December 5, on the Protection of Personal Data and guarantee of digital rightsviolating the right to individual privacy. The legal protection of this assumption was reinforced with the arrival of the Teleworking 10/2021that in its article 17.2 it indicates that it is the company who must provide any material or device that employees may need to develop their work. If to develop that work, the employee needs a mobile with line for communications with the company, or for the time registrationyou must facilitate it. Use of WhatsApp in the company’s mobile The scenario changes completely when the mobile or line is owned by the company, not the employee. In that case, the company can use that resource as it creates convenient and may include those lines in a WhatsApp group, without the employee being able to refuse to it. This use is part of the organization of work by the company according to the Workers Statute. However, the company must justify the group’s need, assume the cost of the line and establish clear rules on its use. Right to digital disconnection In any case, whether the mobile is personal and has the employee’s consent, as if it is a corporate mobile, The right to digital disconnection must be respectedas established in article 20 bis of the Statute of Workers and in article 18 of the Teleworking Law. This section specifically indicates: “Workers have the right to privacy in the use of digital devices made available to the employer, to digital disconnection and intimacy in the use of video surveillance and geolocation devices in the established terms in current legislation on personal data protection and guarantee of digital rights. “ This means that, in any of the cases, the worker is not obliged to answer Out of your working hours, unless it is subject to any of the exceptions due to justified urgency. This right is protected by various labor laws and their breach would result in economic sanctions for the company that could range between 751 euros and 7,500 euros.

The future of quantum computers depends on helium-3 from the Moon. There is already a plan to start bringing it in 2029

by

Helium is the second lightest and most abundant chemical element in the universe, if we stick to ordinary matter. It is only surpassed in this classification by hydrogen. This noble gas accounts for between 24 and 26% of the total mass of stars, which are also responsible for manufacturing it. fusing hydrogen nuclei inside through the reactions of nuclear fusion that they carry out naturally, and which we talk to you about in quite some depth in the article that we dedicate to the life of the stars. Still, most of the helium in the universe was not made by stars: it was produced by the Big Bang, which is why scientists refer to it as “primordial helium.” But the most curious thing is that, despite how abundant it is in the universe, it is scarce on Earth. Its great lightness caused most of the helium contained in the cloud of dust and gas from which our planet was formed to escape gravitational confinement. Be that as it may, the real protagonist of this article is not the normal helium that we have all heard about; It is helium-3, an isotope that may play a crucial role in nuclear fusion reactions that will possibly help us solve forever our energy problems. And also in other areas, such as, for example, in dilution cooling systems that use superconducting quantum computersas well as other emerging technologies. Interlune plans to test the extraction of lunar helium-3 in 2027 Most of the helium that we can find in the universe has taken the form of an isotope known as helium-4, which is characterized by having two protons and two neutrons in its nucleus. Although, as we have seen, most of it was lost during the formation of the Earth, this gas can also arise as a result of natural radioactive decay of heavier chemical elements, such as uranium, radium or thorium, which are relatively scarce on our planet. The only difference between helium-4 and helium-3 is that the latter isotope has one less neutron in its nucleus. That’s all. We know that helium-4 nuclei have two protons and two neutrons, so helium-3 nuclei will have two protons and a single neutron. It may seem like an irrelevant difference, but it is not. It is a very important difference because the physicochemical properties of the element vary as a consequence of their lower atomic mass. And, in the case of these two isotopes of helium, their behavior also changes from the point of view of quantum mechanics. The solar wind spreads helium-3 throughout the solar system and beyond, causing it to reach surrounding planets in relatively large quantities. The bad news is that if helium-4 is relatively scarce on Earth, helium-3 is even more so. Stars, like our Sun, produce it in large quantities as a result of nuclear fusion reactions between hydrogen nuclei that occur when they are in the main sequence stage during which they burn most of their fuel. Once created, the solar wind spreads helium-3 throughout the solar system and even beyond, causing it to reach surrounding planets in relatively large quantities. The reason why this gas hardly accumulates on Earth is that our planet has a double protective shield: the atmosphere and the Earth’s magnetic field. These two barriers represent a very effective defense against the solar wind and cosmic radiation, which reaches the atmosphere mainly in the form of protons and high-energy alpha particles. The Moon, unlike the Earth, has no atmosphere, so it lacks this protective shield. Additionally, its magnetic field is much weaker than Earth’s and is not dipolar. The terrestrial, on the other hand, can be approximated to a magnetic dipole, so the magnetic field lines are directed from the north pole to the south pole. All this causes the surface of the Moon to be much more exposed to cosmic rays and the solar wind than the surface of the Earth, causing very significant quantities of helium-3 transported by the solar wind to accumulate there, which is deposited in rocks and lunar dust, a few meters deep. Up to a million tons of regolith need to be processed to obtain a single kilogram of helium-3 The first challenge that humanity will have to solve to appropriate the helium-3 accumulated on the Moon is none other than the processing of lunar regolithwhich is the loose layer of soil and rock fragments that covers the surface of the satellite. Interlune, a company founded in Seattle (USA) in 2020, plans to extract the regolith and process it using compact harvesting robots that, according to this company, are very efficient. The problem is that lunar dust is very abrasive, and, in addition, up to a million tons of regolith must be processed to obtain a single kilogram of helium-3. Even so, this company plans to test the extraction of this isotope with a lunar mission in 2027, and in 2029 it intends to build a pilot plant on the Moon. It sounds good, but a priori these dates seem excessively optimistic. Additionally, it is still unclear how much it will cost to transport lunar helium-3 to Earth using space vehicles. Be that as it may, we can be sure that it will not be easy or cheap to do so.

Samsung has its biggest competitor at home. His future with chips depends on his rivalry with SK Hynix

by

South Korean semiconductor manufacturer SK Hynix is ​​on a good streak. The memory market is dominated by the Samsung subsidiary specialized in the production of integrated circuits with an approximate share of 40%while SK Hynix defends a very worthy 29%. Behind both is the American Micron Technology, with 26% approximately. These are, precisely, the three companies that control the juicy HBM memory market (High Bandwidth Memory) that work hand in hand with GPUs to artificial intelligence (AI). In fact, SK Hynix is ​​NVIDIA’s main memory supplier. And having the company led by Jensen Huang as a client helps. It helps a lot. So much so that according to SCMPSK Hynix has surpassed Samsung in profits. And it has done so, precisely, thanks to its high-performance memories. However, it is not all good news. SK Hynix has predicted that sales of memory chips for consumer devices, such as smartphones or computers, will fall during 2025. “This year the memory chip market will be subject to great uncertainty because trade protectionism is growing and geopolitical risks are increasing. At the same time, PC and mobile phone companies are adjusting their inventories,” Kim Woo-hyun statedCFO of SK Hynix. This situation anticipates a complicated 2025 for both Samsung and SK Hynix, although the latter, as we have seen, has a very positive inertia in the HBM memory market. Together against China The rivalry between Samsung and SK Hynix in the memory market is a fact, but, in reality, the main threat to these South Korean companies comes from China. The memory integrated circuits industry has enormous growth potential precisely due to the high demand for these chips that has led to the proliferation of data centers for AI applications. And, as expected, Chinese semiconductor manufacturers do not want to be left out of it. The Chinese CXMT has deployed a very aggressive pricing policy to compete in the memory market Changxin Memory Technologies (CXMT) is one of the Chinese companies specialized in the production of memory chips, and, like other companies in the country led by Xi Jinping, it has chosen to compete in this market so attractive unfolding a very aggressive pricing policy. Furthermore, CXMT in particular has increased its DRAM chip production capacity almost five times over the last four years, allowing it to increase its global market share to a very worthy 9%. This growth has placed this company just behind Micron if we stick to its market share, making it already the fourth largest memory chip manufacturer on the planet. To further complicate matters, the Chinese Government is financially supporting its manufacturers of this type of semiconductor in response to the sanctions deployed by the US and its allies, so the competitiveness of Chinese companies is on the rise.
