A general blackout has left us all without light

by

The reasons are still unknown, but Media Spain is now without light. A cut or an interruption in the electricity grid has left the Peninsula in the dark and without the capacity to work. Nor do street elements work such as traffic lights, although telephony and transformer antennas do seem to be operational. Falls are also reported in Portugal and part of France. From Xataka we can also confirm that in the Canary Islands there do not seem to cuts and everything works normally, at least for the moment. In development…

Russia plans to manufacture its own 28 Nm chips in 2030. It will continue to be light years from the US and its allies

by

The relationship sustaining USA and Russia is disturbing. The interests of the administration led by Joe Biden They seemed hardly reconcilable with those of the Government of Vladimir Putin, but Donald Trump’s return to the White House The rules of the game have changed. It had been many years that the interests of Russia and the US were not as aligned as they seem to be now. At this situation it would not be strange for Trump -led administration to Advanced lithography equipment. At the moment it is only an elucubration, but in the current circumstances it is not a far -fetched possibility. Anyway Russia has a plan to reinforce your semiconductor industry and reduce their dependence on foreign technologies. In October 2024 the Ministry of Industry and Commerce announced that it will invest 2,540 million dollars until 2030 in the development of own photolithography machines that allow it to become independent of foreign powers. Within the framework of the Russian economy it is an important expense that in the medium term seeks to develop the ability to make chips of 28 nm. Russia says you are already making chips with its first UVE lithography team At the end of May Vasily Shpak, Deputy Minister of Industry and Commerce of the Russian Federation, advertisement During the conference “Industrial Russia Digital Industry” that your country already has prepared its first team of extreme ultraviolet photolithography (UVE). In addition, Shpak confirmed that its construction is entirely Russian, and, more importantly, it also anticipated that this first UVE machine is capable of manufacturing integrated circuits of 350 nm. In 2026 Russia should have a prototype of UVE equipment capable of manufacturing 130 nm chips The really important thing is that Russia apparently already has the necessary technology to tuning these photolithography machines. From here their engineers and physicists can gradually refine their technology to make possible the production of more advanced integrated circuits. In fact, it is fair What the Russian government plans to do. And its itinerary establishes that in 2026 Russia should have a prototype of UVE lithography equipment capable of manufacturing 130 nm chips. And in 2028 another similar one trained to produce integrated 7 nm circuits. However, it is important that we do not overlook that this itinerary does not describe the moment in which Russia will acquire the ability to manufacture these large -scale integrated circuits. This will be the really relevant milestone. Whatever the Russian medium COMNEWS He has collected statements from Konstantin Trushkin, the deputy director of development of the MCST CPU Design Company, in which this engineer argues that Russia will have plants capable of producing large -scale integrated circuits of 28 Nm between 2028 and 2030. This purpose is credible, but by then presumably TSMC, Intel and Samsung will already have the capacity to manufacture in a massive way 1 Nm semiconductor.

Solar energy and the price of light are suffocating it

Europe opted for the wind. For years, wind turbines were symbol of the energy transition in the continent; The spearhead of the European renewable industry. But something has been crooked. Wind energy, especially offshore, has stopped its expansion dry While photovoltaic solar grows wildlyapparently unstoppable. A very unequal career. After a few years growing in parallel, the plot beat wind in facilities at the beginning of this decade. Since then, he has been adding between four and five times more capacity than wind every year. They are complementary energies (the wind blows even at night), but it is being an unequal race. Not to say a beating. In 2024, Europe installed more than 65 GW of photovoltaic solar capacity. At the same time, expanded its wind capacity in 16 GWless than the previous year, but in the line of the last 20 years. The industry has gathered. 16,000 industry members gathered in Copenhagen a few days ago to discuss it, a new record of attendees at the Windeurope Biennial Conference. Giants like Orsted asked for a pact for marine wind: according to Bloombergthe most affected branch of the sector. They want long -term contracts supported by governments that guarantee fixed prices for electricity, which gives us a key to the problem: many projects do not take off for financial uncertainty. Wind energy (black) and solar (yellow) facilities since 2000. Image: Bloomberg Electricity too cheap? Europe already has so much renewable capacity that, when the wind blows, wind turbines flood the cheap electricity marketsinking prices (Sometimes until they make them negative), which discourages new investments. Without mechanisms to manage that oversu Green hydrogen production), Building more wind in certain European countries ceases to be profitable. It is not the only problem. Beef by the increase in steel price, the rise in interest rates and complex logistics to transport palas and towers, the wind industry has seen its offices fired. Building wind farms, especially in the sea, is today much more expensive than a few years ago. Wind is also exposed to greater bureaucracy and public opposition than solar. Permits to install wind farms remain a bureaucratic crucis in many regions (if not, tell Galicia). To which the local opposition is added due to the landscape impact, an obstacle that the solar panels (although they also have their own) raffle more easily. A solar sponator. While wind fight against wind and tide (never better), photovoltaic solar lives its golden age thanks, above all, to mass production in China. The oversight has Negative consequences for Chinese companiesbut in Europe we only see the good side: the solar panels are getting cheaperaccessible and efficient. They can also be installed almost anywhere: roofs, wasteland, facades … and its deployment is much faster and modular than that of a wind farm. Self -consumption and energy communities shoot thanks to these facilities, which also explains the decoupling between solar capacity and wind capacity. A global trend. In the rest of the world Three quarters of the same occurs. While global solar facilities grew 34% in 2024, wind turbines barely added 5% capacity. For Europe, which has a strong wind industry and very demanding climatic objectives, it is very bad news. Although solar grows faster, wind usually has a larger plant factor; That is, it produces more energy by megavatio installed throughout the year. They are also complementary energy sources: the wind usually blows stronger in winter and at night, just when the lot falters. We need both to decarbonize the network in a stable and safe way.

will launch a model that was not going to see the light

by

If you use Chatgpt frequently, most likely you are interacting with GPT-4O, the model that is activated by default. However, it is not the only one. When displaying the model selector, several alternatives appear: from specific versions of GPT-4O Designed for programming up to GPT-4.5, options centered on reasoning and other models in the test phase that are not directly available in the chatbot. The problem is that this growing variety is generating some confusion: The nomenclature has become little intuitive And many users are not clear which model is the most appropriate for each task. Sam Altman, CEO of the artificial intelligence startup (AI), recognized the problem in mid -February and announced a road map focused on simplifying its product offer. Now we know that this plan has encountered obstacles. The original promise. Although Openai presented the O3 family in December last year, only the O3 Mini variant, focused on offering better performance, ended up reaching the public. In its new road map, the company said that the full version of O3, capable of obtaining scores similar to those of human programmers in certain tests, would not be launched as an independent model. According to the updated plan month and a half ago, GPT-5 would integrate part of the technology developed by the company, including the O3 reasoning capabilities. In theory, that would help order the models ecosystem. As part of that strategy, GPT-4.5 would mark a turning point: the latest model without “chain of thought”. That is, from there, all new OpenAI models would have integrated reasoning. There come the changes. Part of what we have just seen in the previous lines will no longer be fulfilled. And it is not a filtration or a rumor: It has been Sam Altman himself Who has confirmed it in a message posted in X. “Change of plans: after all, we will probably launch O3 and O4-mini in a couple of weeks, and then we will do GPT-5 in a few months,” he said. In summary: O3, which was discarded as an independent model, you will see the light. Click to see the original message in x The executive has also dropped some interesting details. On the one hand, as can be seen from the previous message, both O3 and O4-mini will be available soon. In addition, he confirmed that GPT-5 will not take long to arrive, presumably this year. Of course, there are no concrete dates, and it remains to be seen if in that margin of time we will attend another unexpected turn, such as the one we are witnessing now. What is behind the change of plans? The big question is what has happened in OpenAi to produce this new unexpected turn. It is not a radical change, but it arrives at a delicate time: the American company is building a solid reputation around its ads and its real ability to fulfill them. Such a movement can weaken that trust, as valued by both users and investors. In relation to change, Altman explained that “there are many reasons for this, but the most exciting is that we will be able to make GPT-5 much better than we originally thought.” Far from staying in an optimistic statement, he also admitted that integrating everything without problems was “more difficult than we thought” and that they wanted to make sure everything tied, especially because they expect “an unprecedented demand.” More challenges in Openai. It is no secret that Openai is subject to increasing pressure. The startup, which initially grew with the support of Microsoft, competes to maintain its leadership position in the development of AI and to ensure the necessary financing to sustain its ambitious rhythm. To all that is added a challenge not less: guarantee access to the computing capacity that your projects require.

China is already unstoppable. It is finishing an ultraviolet light mega -source to make avant -garde chips

by

China has been engaged in its own “Manhattan project”. Unlike the plan that executed USA during World War II, it is not dedicated to the creation of nuclear weapons (China has them since the mid -60s of the last century); It seeks to put in the hands of Chinese companies the ability to MANUFACTE INTEGRATED VANGUARD CIRCUITS comparable to the most advanced currently produced in Taiwan, USA, South Korea or Japan. The sanctions that have deployed US governments and the Netherlands They prevent the Dutch company Asml extreme ultraviolet (UVE). Without them Chips Chinese, such as SMIC (Semiconductor manufacturing international corp), Hua Hong Semiconductor, China Resources Microelectronics or Guangzhou Zensemi cannot produce integrated circuits comparable to those who are already manufacturing TSMC, Intel or Samsung. China needs to have Your own UVE photolithography teams as soon as possible. Its economy, and, above all, its technical and scientific development are at stake. The problem is that developing this machine is very complex. In fact, Asml took more than two decades put it up. And he had the economic support of his best clients (TSMC, Intel and Samsung), as well as the collaboration of several owners of avant -garde technologies, such as the German Zeiss, which manufactures the optical elements of the lithography machines, or the US company of American origin, which produces the ultraviolet light source. China is finishing a gigantic syncrotron that will produce UVE light In the middle of last March several Asian media collected a photograph taken at the Huawei Research Center in Dongguan, in the province of Canton, in which it appeared The prototype of a UVE lithography team Designed and manufactured entirely in China. Presumably this machine is similar to those produced by ASML, which invites us to anticipate that for 2026 the country led by Xi Jinping will have the ability to produce advanced chips on a large scale. However, China’s plans do not end here. And it is that the Chinese Academy of Sciences is finishing the one that is undoubtedly the most ambitious project of those who are developing the Chinese semiconductor industry. According to Dr. Kiman expert in the manufacture of integrated circuits who has worked in Samsung and that He currently investigates for TSMC in the USChina is about to reach a “Deepseek” in the field of integrated circuit industry. This simply means that it is preparing to reach a disruption that has the potential to place this Asian country at the same height as the US, Taiwan or South Korea. UVE light has the ability to make the manufacture of integrated circuits with a higher resolution than UVP light However, China’s strategy to produce avant -garde chips is very different from what their rivals have used until now. As we have seen, each of the ASML UVE machines incorporates its own ultraviolet light source, but the Chinese Academy of Sciences seeks to generate this important radiation to produce advanced chips using a syncrotron, which is nothing other than a circular particle accelerator that is used to analyze atomic level the properties of matter, such as various types of materials, or, even, even, of proteins. It’s called heps (High Energy Photon Source or high -energy photons source), it is in Beijing and we can see it in the cover photography of this article. An important note before moving forward: the ultraviolet light (UV) is responsible for transferring the geometric pattern that contains the design of the chips to the Silicon wafer. This means, in broad strokes, that UVE light has the ability to make possible the manufacture of Integrated circuits with a higher resolution that the light of deep ultraviolet (UVP) that use the previous generation lithography machines that China has in their hands. And a greater resolution in practice implies that it is possible to produce semiconductors with more transistors, and, therefore, more sophisticated and powerful. A priori we can think that a particle accelerator has nothing to do with the manufacture of integrated circuits, but we would be overlooking something very important: the Heps syncrotron has the ability to produce high power UVE light. In fact, it is a source designed to generate a large amount of radiation. China’s plan is to place several semiconductor manufacturing plants around particles to which The syncrotron will deliver the UVE light in the same way that a power plant delivers electricity to its customers. That simple. The date on which China plans to start this megaphabrum of avant -garde semiconductors has not yet leaked, but as we can see in photography, it is already very advanced, so we can take it for granted that it will enter into production soon.

that the closure of the centrals rises the light of the light

by

The Government of Spain agreed a stepped blackout of nuclear centrals between 2027 and 2035. However, the debate that seemed settled in 2019 has reopened with many actors involved. Battle The epicenter of the problem It started with the Almaraz Centralsince it is the first to close within two years according to the agreed calendar. However, electricity, government, opposition and population have opened the debate about whether to continue with the closing plan or extend the useful life of nuclear plants. A renegotiation. Electric companies (Iberdrola, Endesa, Naturgy and EDP) are confronted with both each other and with the central government about the closure of nuclear plants. On the one hand, Iberdrola and Endesa are looking for how to obtain more favorable conditions that allow them to keep the nuclear power plants operational without incurring economic losses, According to eldiario.es. In addition, they add that there is an increase in demand for data centers and must ensure the stability of the supply, because otherwise the light could be increased by up to 25%. On the other hand, the rest of the electricity, such as Naturgy and EDP, have shown less interest in prolonging the useful life of nuclear, since they have adjusted down the accounting value of their assets in this sector, how have explained expanding. The main problem is multiprophity, since any extension requires unanimity among the partners of each plant. To unlock the situation, companies explore solutions such as a 2-3-year mini-programs or the exchange of assets, where companies would reorganize the ownership of the centrals so that there are fewer partners in each plant, which would facilitate decision making. While the government … It continues with the same position that the closure must follow the agreed calendar of 2019, but has shown some flexibility. According to expansionthe Ministry of Ecological Transition has indicated that any renegotiation of the closure of Almaraz or other plants is only possible if electricity agrees first between them. The voices in favor. As we report in Xatakathe Congress of Deputies approved a non -law proposition to open the possibility of extending nuclear centrals. The initiative, presented by the Popular Party came forward with the support of Vox and a deputy of UPN, in addition to the abstention of Junts and ERC. Of course, since it is a non -binding figure, its approval does not entail any change in the formalized closing calendar six years ago, but it does reflect the position of the camera. The commitment to renewable. The National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC 2023-2030) has established that in five years 81% of electricity with renewable sources and renewable sources must be generated is close to getting it. In the last two months, according to the data provided by Electric Red of Spain (REE)nuclear energy has represented 20% of the total electricity generation. This percentage has increased due to the fall in solar energy production. This change in the energy panorama reopens the debate on the need for a continuous energy source, especially given the growing energy consumption of data centers driven by artificial intelligencethat require constant and stable supply. On the other hand, another question opens, in terms of the use of energy storage that could be one of the alternatives, but in the country all that surplus of renewable energy It is taking place in the swamps. The future. While the debate on the future of nuclear energy in Spain is still open, investigations have begun to take steps towards nuclear fusion. The Rodas project, which seeks to advance in this emerging technology, is presented as a new window within the energy sector, with the aim of developing a clean and practically inexhaustible energy source, As we have highlighted in Xataka. However, there is still a way to go and much to try before the nuclear fusion becomes A large -scale viable alternative.

They are planets orbiting other stars to 130 light years

by

One of the original purposes of the James Webb space telescope was the direct observation of exoplanets: distant worlds that orbit stellar systems other than the sun. The latest images of the 10,000 million dollars observatory demonstrate the level of detail that is capable of capturing. Young and gaseous. The Webb Telescope, operated by NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), has been observing a planetary system to 130 light years from the Earth. At the tender age of 30 million years, this neighborhood called HR 8799 It is much younger than our solar system, which is 4.6 billion years old. The four planets in the photo that revolve around the star HR 8799 are gaseous giants similar to Jupiter and Saturn. Being so young, in addition to giants, they retain the residual heat of their formation, which makes them emit a large amount of infrared light. This light is what has allowed Webb Space Telescope Capture clear and direct images of exoplanets. An important finding. One of the most surprising aspects of these observations is the remarkable presence of carbon dioxide in the atmospheres of the four giant planets. A study published by The Astronomical Journal Associates CO2 to a large number of heavy elements such as carbon, oxygen and iron in the gaseous body of these exoplanets. The study supports the theory of core’s accretion training, which is the same mechanism proposed by astronomers for the formation of Jupiter and Saturn in our solar system. According to this theory, the giant planets begin forming solid nuclei that then attract large amounts of gas from the protoplanetary disk that surrounds a young star. Cooked over low heat. The Chemical composition observed by the Webb In the HR 8799 system it is a clue that the planets were formed by slow accumulation of heavy materials, instead of faster alternative processes. Scientists have also been able to analyze important differences between the planets. For example, HR 8799 B, the farthest from its star, shows greater carbon dioxide wealth, while HR 8799 E, the closest to its star, seems to have formed in very different conditions, in a warmer region and with a different composition. Another Nircam job. Thanks to the Nircam Chamber and its coronograph, which blocks the bright light of the central star, the Webb has not only been able to observe the HR 8799 system, but also 51 eri ba relatively cold and young planet located in the 51 Eridani system, 96 light years from the earth. This orbit planet at a considerable distance from its star, similar to a location between Saturn and Neptune of our solar system. In this case, the webb has also detected a rich atmosphere in carbon dioxide, which further supports the hypothesis of the solid nucleus as a training mechanism.

The OCU has investigated what happened to the light bill since January and has reached a conclusion: 44% more expensive

by

We are just three months from 2025, and the light of light is already one of the more commented issueseither by Inflationvolatility of the energy market or fiscal policies. Now, the OCU brings bad news. Short. The Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU) has issued a statement warning about the climb on the electricity bill in Spain. Last February, the indicators have shown a 5% increase over the month of January and this has caused that, with respect to February 2024, the annual increase has been 44%. And no one gets rid of this, it affects the users of the regulated rate (PVPC) as well as those of the free market. In data. The impact has been especially severe for users of the PVPC regulated rate, whose average bill has gone from € 56.81 to € 81.60 in just one year. However, the problem is not limited to this group. The OCU has warned that many free market clients have also suffered increases in their rates due to reviews made by marketers in January. The reasons. Several factors have contributed to this climb and here we have talked about it. The first would be The high price of gasimportant to set major electricity prices. In addition, wind energy production is has reduced in February, which has caused greater dependence on sources such as gas. Finally, the upward modifications have influenced Electrical system tolls and VAT return to 21% Since January. What can we do? But we are not going to wear ashes, because there are different measures. First, it is advisable to periodically compare electric rates using tools such as The CNMC comparator or independent platforms, such as the one that has the OCU, Octopus Energy either Selectraamong many others. Second, it is important to review the contract conditions, paying special attention to possible price reviews, permanence commitments and additional costs for non -essential services. Another effective strategy is the use of appliances at lower cost or valley hourshow to program the washing machine or dishwasher, but this is only possible if you are inside the PVPC. On the other hand, replace traditional bulbs By LED and go like a father turning off lights from empty rooms. Another “tricks” that people take into account is to disconnect or unplug to Avoid ghost consumption. However, something that people do not usually take into account is FRIDITIONAL TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT, The water heater and The air conditioning To avoid excessive consumption. Along the same lines, for this winter, although more with a view to the coming, The heat pump It can be an efficient option, but the investment is quite high. How do I know if I am paying more? From the CNMC They have developed A system through the QR code that comes with your light bill to access a comparator with your power and consumption data, which will help you understand the invoice and teach you what are the best offers on the market. Finally, it is advisable lower 5% VAT In the light invoice. Forecasts The heavy rains of recent weeks will have a positive impact on the light bill. The large amount of rainfall They have raised The level of the reservoirs, increasing the generation capacity of the hydroelectric plants. However, the reservoirs belong to companies and will see how They store and release water.

There is a potentially habitable planet only 59 light years from Earth. The IAC has just discovered it from the Canary Islands

by

Spain has a lot to say in the search for potentially habitable explanets. On this occasion, an international team led by researchers from the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands (IAC) has discovered a planet in the habitable zone of its star, just 59 light years from Earth. The finding. The newly discovered planet is called GJ 3998 d. It is a superstierra, which means that it is significantly larger than our planet, in this case with a mass six times greater than land. The important thing about GJ 3998 d is that orbits its star Within the “habitable zone”which means that it could have liquid water on its surface, whenever it is a rocky planet like ours. The habitable area. This new exoplanet orbit the GJ 3998which is a red dwarf. This type of star is much smaller and colder than the sun, so the habitable zone is at a lesser distance. GJ 3998 D completes an orbit around its star in approximately 42 days, a sixth part of what lasts a land year. Despite the proximity to the red dwarf, it only receives 20 % more radiation than the earth, which makes it a candidate to house the necessary conditions for life. Neighbors. Another point in favor of this new extrasolar planet is that it is relatively close to us, 59 light years away, which makes it a perfect candidate for more detailed studies in the future. Scientists plan to investigate whether GJ 3998 D has atmosphere and if there are signs of oxygen, which would be a strong indicator of the possible existence of extraterrestrial life. But for this they will have to wait for the future spectrograph Andes of the Extremely large telescope (Elt) of that, who will be able to analyze the composition of his atmosphere. Or to the telescope Exo Life Finder (ELF), currently in development by the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands. A red dwarf galaxy. Red dwarfs are particularly interesting because they are very common in our galaxy. They constitute almost three quarters of all known stars. In addition, its low mass facilitates the detection of planets that orbit around it. GJ 3998 has three known planets: GJ 3998 B, GJ 3998 Cy the newly discovered GJ 3998 d. This discovery was possible thanks to the Hades project, an international initiative that uses the Nazionale Galileo telescope (TNG) at the Rocque de los Muchachos Observatory, in La Palma, to look for planets around small and near stars.

The Webb Telescope observed the black hole in the center of the Milky Way. Has discovered a chaotic light show

by

Three years ago we saw for the first time The Supermassive Black Hole that inhabits the center of our galaxy. Now the James Webb space telescope has opened a window to study its surroundings. And it has turned out to be a chaotic show of lights that never stops. Context. In the center of the Milky Way inhabits A gigantic black hole called Sagittarius a*. Astronomers have managed to unravel the extreme dynamics of their accretion disk, the spiral of gas and dust that turns around it. To do this, they observed it for 48 hours (distributed in several periods of 2023 and 2024) using the Nircam instrument of the Webb Telescope. A disco ball. The observations revealed that sgr a* emits A continuous game of lights and flashes which is characterized by constant blinking interspersed with a series of intense eruptions. These emissions have a weak and continuous component, probably originated in the internal turbulence of the disc, and a bright and short -term component, eruptions associated with magnetic reconnection, in which magnetic fields collide and release huge amounts of energy. Fluctuations can occur in seconds or as changes that extend for days, weeks and months. The explanation. The study of these variable emissions, published in The Astrophysical Journal Letterssuggests that fluctuations intensify at major scales. According to researchers, the small internal disturbances of the disk, associated with fluctuations in density and magnetic field, generate the faint flashes, while large eruptions are related to specific events of magnetic reconnection, comparable to the solar flares, but at levels much older energy. “In our data we observe a constantly changing luminosity,” Farhad Yusef-Zadeh explainsmain author of the study. “Suddenly, Boom! A great explosion of brightness appears suddenly and then calms down, without following a fixed pattern.” This nature, apparently random, demonstrates that the accretion disc is regenerated all the time, causing between five and six and six Great daily rashes, in addition to multiple intermittent outbreaks. The lags. An advantage of the NIRCAM instrument of the Webb Telescope is its ability to observe two infrared wavelengths simultaneously (2.1 and 4.8 micrometers). This allowed researchers to compare how the brightness of eruptions with each wavelength changed. Surprisingly, they discovered that the events observed in the shortest wavelength changed shine a little before the events of the longest. “It is the first time that we see a delay in the measurements of these wavelengths,” said Yusef-Zadeh. “We notice that the longest wavelength is delayed between three and 40 seconds.” This finding is a key clue that energy particles lose energy as they cool, a process known as syncrotron cooling. New observations. Researchers now plan to make a continuous observation of up to 24 hours from SGR A* using the Webb Telescope, which will help them determine if eruptions follow repetitive patterns or if they are truly random. Each flash and every flicker on the accretion disk of the supermassive hole offers us a deeper understanding of physics on the events horizon, one of the most extreme environments in the universe. In other words, it helps us discover how space-time and matter behave under the influence of overwhelming gravity.
