manufacture

We already know what the chips that will arrive until 2039 will be. The machine that will manufacture them is close

If everything goes as planned Intel will have its lithography 14a (1.4 Nm) List in 2026. It will be the first integration technology of this company that will use the equipment of extreme ultraviolet photolithography (UVE) and AL ASML opening. TSMC and Samsung have already confirmed that They will also bet on this machinebut for now it is Intel who carries the lead. In fact, it has been about a year and a half Testing it in its Hillsboro plant (USA). The engineers of the Dutch Company ASML have invested a decade in the development of the technology necessary to put this machine ready, which, in reality, is a high -generation extreme ultraviolet lithography team. This company of the Netherlands plans to deliver to its customers annually from 2025 about 20 teams of this type with one purpose: put in their hands the possibility of producing 2 nm chips And beyond. Much further. After the High-no lithography equipment, the Hyper-NA machines will arrive To develop the UVE Lithography team (EUV high-na for its acronym in English) ASML engineers have put a very advanced optical architecture that has an opening of 0.55 compared to the 0.33 value that the first generation UVE lithography equipment has. This refinement of the optics allows to transfer to the wafer patterns of greater resolution, hence it is possible to manufacture chips using more advanced integration technologies than those currently used in the nodes of 2 and 3 Nm. In the article we dedicate to Rayleight criteria We explain in a lot of detail what the ‘Na’ parameter consists (Numerical Aperture), But in this text it is enough for us to know that this variable identifies The opening value of the optics Used by the lithographic equipment. In this context this parameter essentially reflects the same as the opening value when we talk about The optics of a photo cameraso it conditions the amount of light that the optical elements They are able to collect. As we can intuit, the more light gathens, the better. A single UVE Machine of haute opening is capable of producing more than 200 wafers per hour However, this is not all. ASML has also improved the mechanical systems that are responsible for the manipulation of wafers with the purpose of making it possible for a single UVE Machine to be able to produce more than 200 wafers per hour. This benefit is very important for semiconductor manufacturers because it deeply conditions its competitiveness. If we want to investigate to show what is beyond the Uve haute opening teams, the ideal is that we turn to Imec, an integrated circuit research center founded in 1984 and lodged in Leuven (Belgium). It is the most experienced laboratory in the tuning of new integration technologies that we have in Europe. In fact, their engineers work side by side with ASML technicians. The slide we publish on top of these lines contains a lot of interesting information. According to IMEC in 2035 integrated circuit manufacturers will begin large -scale production of 3 angstroms chips (0.3 Nm). This milestone is very important because presumably these will be the first semiconductors made of UVE lithography equipment Hyper-na In which Asml is already working. However, of course, these machines will not arrive that year; They will be ready much earlier. That will be the time when Chips manufacturers will start large -scale production, but possibly this machine will be prepared at the end of this decade. Whatever the interesting thing is that the opening of the optics of these avant -garde lithography equipment will be, again according to IMEC, of ​​0.75 in the face of the opening of 0.55 of the UVE machines of high opening, or 0.33 in the conventional UVE equipment, as we have seen a few lines above. In any case, the itinerary of this laboratory anticipates that In 2037 the integrated circuits of 2 angstroms will arriveand in 2039 chips manufacturers will pass this barrier and go beyond the 2 angstroms. It seems science fiction, but it is not. It’s just science. Image | IMEC More information | IMEC In Xataka | China needs to develop a new type of immune chips to US sanctions.

Hermès already has an answer to the US tariffs and the Chinese offensive: to manufacture more in Europe

by

The luxury products market is living a silent transformation marked by counterpoints such as fever by Hermès bags as an active financial, and the uncertainty of tariff policies imposed by the US. The French house has experienced such a high demand that, even with endless waiting lists, its bags remain desire on all continents. Given such success, Hermès has drawn her strategy for the coming years: to open four new workshops in France, increase your production of bags and transfer to the US client the cost of tariffs. The anti -barred shield: “Made in France”. Unlike other industries, the luxury industry has not considered transferring its workshops to the US to avoid tariffs. Far from that, Hermès maintains her commitment to “fact in France” and European artisanal manufacturing announcing the opening of four new factories in France in the next four years. With this decision, Hermès is positioned with other luxury brands such as Ferrari, which Does not contemplate In no scenario move its production outside Italy, or Rolls-Royce, which also You will expand Your Goodwood facilities. William Susman, managing director of the Cascadia Capital Investment Bank, assured to The New York Times That this same reaffirmation in its essence is common to many other European luxury brands: “In each conversation that I have had with customers during the last five to ten days, not a single person talked about building a factory in the United States.” Common Front: Money is not a problem. Both Hermès and Ferrari and Rolls-Royce have a client profile with high purchasing power and enormous appreciation for the quality of luxury products. That has made the three brands have adopted the same position on the scenario of uncertainty: maintain production in Europe and transfer the extra cost caused by tariffs to their customers. Assume that an increase of 10% or 20% in the final price will not be an obstacle to its millionaire customers. “The price increase that we are going to implement will be only for the US, since it aims to compensate for tariffs that only apply to the US market, so there will be no price increases in the other regions,” said Eric du Halgouët, Executive Vice President of Finance of Hermès, in statements collected by CNBC. Four factories and thousands of jobs. The new Hermès workshops will be located in different regions of France: Colombelles, isle d’Eguegnac, Loupes and Charleville-Mézières. Each of these workshops will have about 260 specialized artisans, which means the creation of more than 1,000 New jobs In the coming years. Hermès forms these artisans in their own school, the École Hermès des Savoir-Fairewhich qualifies them to manufacture their boring bags and products. According to The specialized medium Wwd, The Colombian workshop, the factory will be built on an old industrial land and is expected to be operational in 2028 and will be especially dedicated to producing its Kelly and Constance bags. The Isle d’Eguegnac plant will open its doors at the end of this year, while those of Loupes and Charleville-Mézières will do so in 2026 and 2027, respectively. The delicate balance of scarcity. Hermès’s sustained growth is reflected in her Financial results of the first quarter of 2025. The company billed 4,129 million euros, 8.5% more than the previous year and registered a 10% increase in sales of leather items compared to the previous year. This performance has allowed Hermès to overcome LVMH as The most valuable luxury company in the worldwith a capitalization of 276.3 billion dollars. The strategy of maintaining limited production, based on exclusivity, has proven profitable and sustainable in the luxury sector, which has used it in all its versions. For this reason, Hermès cannot simply manufacture its products and must very carefully monitor the increase in units that puts on the market to preserve the value of those that have already been sold. “We try to increase production at a fast pace, but we stay in the artisanal model, which in our opinion is synonymous with quality. We are not going to start looking for increases in productivity,” said Wwd Guillaume de Seynes, executive vice president of the manufacturing division and capital investments of Hermès. Deminting myths: production is not in China. If you have opened Tiktok or Instagram in recent weeks you will have seen any of the thousands of Chinese influencers videos They have risen to their profiles, ensuring that Hermès and LVMH bags are manufactured in China by $ 1,400, but these brands multiply their price by ten. This is an argument widely used by the imitations market and the “top blanket”, which is A whole industry in China. The reality is very different. The true added value of these brands lies in artisanal production in Europe. Hermès manufactures your leather bags and products in The 20 workshops that he has in France. LVMH, meanwhile, He does it in workshops located in France, Spain, Italy and the United States. Their watches are manufactured exclusively in watch workshops in Switzerland, while the jewelry lines of the signature of Bernard Arnault are created in France, Italy and Switzerland.

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.

TSMC will manufacture its best chips on American soil, although presumably they will be 30% more expensive

by

Taiwan’s silicon shield It has definitely fallen. The government of this island was determined to protect its economic interests preventing TSMC from manufacturing integrated circuits abroad using your most advanced lithography nodes. This plan entered into conflict with the expansionist strategy of the semiconductor manufacturer most important on the planetespecially at a juncture in which the US is forcing the displacement of chips manufacturers to their own territory. “Since Taiwan has regulations that seek to protect their own technologies, TSMC cannot produce 2 nm chips abroad today,” Jw Kuo saidMinister of Economic Affairs of Taiwan, on November 8 during a meeting of the Taipéi Economy Committee. “Although TSMC PLANS MANUFACTURE 2 NM CHIPS Abroad in the future, its central technology will remain in Taiwan. “ Kuo’s statements reflected at that time that TSMC could not produce integrated 2 Nm circuits in the US or Europe until it was ready its lithography A14 (1.4 Nm). From that moment the latter would remain in Taiwan and could move the production of 2 Nm chips to other countries. For TSMC this restriction was a problem. And it was because the demand for its most advanced integrated circuits is very high because of the undoubted success that semiconductors are having for applications of artificial intelligence (AI). Chips manufactured by TSMC in the US will be 30% more expensive, according to Walter Bloomberg Finally, the Taiwan government has moderated its protectionist strategy. Jw Kuo He pronounced again In the middle of last January to declare that TSMC may produce 2 Nm chips in its US plants, although the Taiwanese administration will cautiously evaluate the use of this technology in the country led by Donald Trump. “Private companies must make their own commercial decisions covered in their own technological progress (…) TSMC is building factories in the US with the purpose of serving their US clients because 60% of the world’s chips designer companies are based precisely in the US. “ Lisa su and CC Wei have taught the first EPYC ‘Venice’ chip produced in the N2 (2 nm) node of TSMC Today, just four months later, we can be sure that the manufacture of integrated 2 NM circuits on a large scale in the TSMC plants in Arizona (USA) will arrive. Lisa her, the general director of AMD, and CC Wei, the president and general director of TSMC, have taught the first Epyc Chip ‘Venice’ produced in node N2 (2 nm) of this last company. This CPU has been manufactured in Taiwan, but both managers They have confirmed their commitment When strengthening the production of the plants that TSMC is putting ready in Arizona. The first of these factories is about to produce large -scale chips, but its plan does not end here. The second plant will be operational in 2028 and will produce integrated circuits in N3 (3 Nm) and N2 (2 Nm) nodes. And finally, the third factory will not be listed at all until the end of this decade and will produce chips in the N2 (2 nm) node. At the current situation and under the pressure of the US government, which is Pertrechado with its tariff policyit is very likely that the production of 2 Nm semiconductors in Arizona arrives long before 2028. It is not official information, but in the current circumstances it is a very reasonable forecast. However, there is something else that is worth not overlooking. According to G. Dan HutchesonAnalyst in Techinsights, producing a 300 mm wafer in the new Arizona plant costs TSMC less than 10% more than manufacturing that same wafer in one of its Taiwan facilities. It is explained by something that we should not overlook: the cost derived from labor represents less than 2% of the total cost. However, according to the financial journalist Walter Bloomberg TSMC will increase the price of integrated circuits produced by 30% in the US to compensate for the costs triggered by tariffs on the production equipment of imported chips from Europe and Japan. The Government led by Donald Trump has not yet revealed how the import tariffs of photolithography machines used by TSMC, Intel or Samsung plants in the US will affect the import tariffs. Will do it within a period Not exceeding two months. But it seems that Bloomberg assumes that the increase in chips will arrive. We’ll see.

promises to manufacture up to half a billion dollars in AI products in the US

by

Nvidia has announced an ambitious plan to manufacture artificial intelligence infrastructure (AI) in the United States by value of up to 500,000 million dollars during the next four years. The initiative includes the production of Blackwell Chips in Phoenix (Arizona), as well as new plants dedicated to assembling their AI superorders in Texas. The company will also have facilities in Houston and Dallas. It provides that mass production in plants take off within between 12 and 15 months. Now, the announcement arrives at a delicate time, marked by the commercial war promoted by the administration of Donald Trump that, Despite a temporary exemptionmaintains the focus on semiconductors. Factories in the US, foreign experience. Although Nvidia has not detailed what models of Blackwell chips or AI systems will be involved, it has confirmed with who will carry out this industrial expansion. The company will support weight partners such as TSMC, Foxconn and Spil, three Taiwanese giants, in addition to the American Wistron. Behind this international collaboration is the model Fables that follows Nvidia. The company designs its chips, but does not have its own manufacturing plants. To do this, he trusts specialized manufacturers such as TSMC, a formula that also use other heavyweights of the industry such as AMD, Qualcomm or MediaTek. But after the announcement underlies an uncomfortable reality, especially for the aspirations of technological self -sufficiency pursued by the United States. Large companies in the sector, such as NVIDIA or Apple, continue to depend largely on the production capacity and foreign expertise for the production of most of its products. Taiwanese firms land in the US. Match the level of technological sophistication offered by Taiwan remains a distant goal. Giving up that capacity simply is not a viable option. The alternative, As already begun to glimpse with the Chips Law promoted by the Biden Administrationgoes to attract factories to the US territory. But the deployment has not been simple. TSMC has faced delays due to the difficulty of finding workers willing to assume their demanding work culture. According to Fortunethe 12 -hour days and weekend shifts did not fit the American model, and caused internal tensions and high staff rotation. The plants begin to take off. After months of delays, the first TSMC factory in Arizona has started producing chips for Apple and AMD using the N4 node (5 Nm). It is not its most advanced technology, but marks an important step. The second plant, scheduled for 2028, will work with nodes of 3 Nm and 2 Nm. In the case of Nvidia, the company has confirmed that the production of its Blackwell chips has already begun at the TSMC facilities in Arizona. What is not entirely clear is at what exact point the process is located or if the final packaging is being carried out in the United States or continues depending on shipments to Taiwan. As A ASML points outthere are several processes involved in chips production. Let’s see them in general: Deposition: It starts from an ultrapuro silicon wafer on which very thin layers of different materials are added. These layers form the base of the chip. Fotor resistant coating: The wafer is covered with a photosensitive material that reacts to light and allows to transfer the design of the circuit. Lithography: Ultraviolet light on the resist To draw the chip pattern. This phase defines the size of transistors. Recorded: The exposed areas of the resist To mark the pattern on the wafer. It can be done with gases (dry) or with chemicals (wet). Ionic implantation: The wafer with ions is bombarded to modify its conductivity and form the transistors. Packaging: Chips are cut, place on a substrate with connections and encapsulate with a cover that protects them and helps to dissipate heat. Waiting for advances. Analysts cited by Reuters point that “it is unlikely that Nvidia had transferred its production to the United States of not being for the pressure of the Trump administration.” They add, however, that the announced figure could be an exaggeration, and compare the maneuver as the one performed by Apple when it promised to invest half a billion dollars in the country.

The Spanish car will be unscathed from US tariffs for a very simple reason: we manufacture cheap models

by

25% of tariffs on all cars that enter through the borders of the United States. That is the last major measure announced by Donald Trump that, if nothing changes, will enter into force on April 2. A new economic decision that has evident winners and losers. How does Spain affect you? 25% tariffs. It had been rumored for a long time and Donald Trump has ended up confirming it: the United States will tax with 25% tariff to all cars that enter through its borders. If the car has been manufactured outside the United States, the importer will have to disburse 25% more through the car. The announcement has a small print that was later clarified by the White House, they collect in The country. For cars manufactured within the economic space of Canada-Mexico-United States (which have a special treaty) only the tariff will be applied to the pieces that are not produced in the United States, which should partially mitigate the norm. The latter is important since it is estimated that tariffs will raise the purchase cost of a car in the United States between $ 4,000 and $ 10,000 Since half of the cars bought in the country come from abroad and, from those assembled there, 60% of the components are also manufactured outside their borders, they point out in Motorpasion. And a threat. “If the European Union collaborates with Canada to economically harm the United States, they will be imposed on a large -scale tariffs, much greater than expected, to protect the best friend that both countries have had,” Donald Trump threatened in words collected by The country. The words of the president of the United States are a notice for a European Union that had threatened to reactivate tariffs that were already in force during Donald Trump’s first mandate and even go one step further, as reported The New York Times. Germany is especially vulnerable to US policies. It is the country that exports the most cars to the United States. According to Bloombergin 2024 they exported 446,566 cars worth 24,800 million dollars. In addition, its main manufacturers produce a good part of the cars that sell in the United States in countries such as Mexico or Canada. So, 80% of cars that Volkswagen sells in the country come from outside the United States. Mercedes does the same with 63% of its cars and BMW with 52%. What about Spain? According to the Data from the Department of Commerce collected by The country. Spain only exported 8,316 light vehicles that added a value of 178.5 million dollars. Both figures are, obviously, minimal if we take into account those that we have been renovating previously. According to Observatory of Economic Complexity (OEC)the main shipments from Spain to the United States represented Volkswagen and Ford. Despite this, those 178.5 million dollars contrast with the more than 8,000 million dollars that Spain exports in cars to France or Germany, the main markets for the Spanish industry. Small and European. If the Spanish industry will not suffer with the tariffs raised by Donald Trump it is because the cars we manufacture here are focused on the European market. Most of them are Compact and utilitarian vehicles of relatively low prices that are manufactured in Spain because the labor is cheaper and, therefore, allows to better adjust the benefits margins. The data pointed out that Ford was one of the most affected companies in Spain because it produced in Almussafes (Valencia) the Ford Transit Connect. This vehicle was exported to the United States because it was used as a taxi in New York. However, It does not occur since 2024. To this we must add that the country has been taking positions in recent years to reposition its industry in the electric car. And production plans for this type of cars also indicates that They will be small carsdestined for a European public. Consumers. So far we have talked about the industry but, obviously, a European response will touch sectors outside the car. While in the United States half of the cars that are bought are manufactured outside the country, only 12% of cars imported to Europe come from the United States, According to Acea. If Europe decides to respond by raising more commercial barriers to the cars that come there, the main damaged will be the Tesla Model S and, above all, the American sports models such as the Ford Mutang or the Chevrolet Corvette. Models that, like the Ford Broncothey arrive at droppers and are especially expensive to compensate for the European Emissions Standards. Therefore, if the European Union decides to answer we can expect an increase in the prices of other products. For example, it was already valued to impose Harley-Davidson motorcycles.

Manufacture cars for Mitsubishi, according to FT

by

The Foxconn name may not sound too much, but if you have an iPhone, it is very likely that you have left one of its factories. He is the largest manufacturer for the world’s contract and A key Apple partner. From its plants, this Taiwanese company assembles each piece: TSMC processors, Samsung screens, amperex batteries and other essential components to shape the star device of the apple signature. Foxconn not only assembles products for Apple. It is also behind Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Dell, Sony and HP devices. But its ambition goes beyond electronics. According to Financial Timesthe Taiwanese giant He has been trying to enter the automotive industry for years And now he is about to achieve it. In fact, the media ensures that “in the coming weeks” will announce an agreement with Mitsubishi Motors. Mitsubishi and Foxconn, one step away from closing an agreement We recently knew about Mitsubishi for a movement that could have changed the industry. The Japanese brand signed a memorandum of understanding to explore A historical fusion with Nissan and Hondaa strategy to face the difficulties it is going through in full electric car expansion. The agreement did not prosperbut Foxconn soon appeared on the scene as a key actor in the midst of this complex situation. Initially it was speculated with the possibility that Foxconn acquired a participation in Nissan to strengthen his presence in the automotive. However, the company has made it clear that its intention with the Japanese manufacturer is part of a collaboration and not in a purchase. Now all looks are put in Mitsubishi, where Nissan, One of his greatest shareholdersI could have influence on the direction of this agreement. Foxconn, on the other hand, sees in Mitsubishi a partner with experience in the automotive industry that would allow him to continue expanding his business. Although its main approach has been electronics, the Taiwanese company already manufactures electric vehicles for customers in its country. However, until now he had no links with traditional manufacturers. If the agreement is specified, it will take a key step in its Diversification strategy. The president of the company that assembles electronic devices, Young Liu, left a key track about this movement. At the beginning of the month, advanced investors that they were in advanced negotiations with a Japanese manufacturer and that the signing of the contract was expected in “one or two months.” Although he did not mention the company’s name, everything points to Mitsubishi Motors. Now we just have to wait for official confirmation.

Huawei will manufacture its Kirin X90 for PC using the 7 Nm of SMIC

by

Huawei and Smic work side by side and intensity since they get it The US sanctions to China. Together they have managed to manufacture 7 Nm semiconductoras, for example, the soc Kirin 9000s of the Mate 60 Prousing an integrated circuit production technique known as Multiple patterning. This strategy in broad strokes consists in transferring the pattern to the wafer in several passes with the purpose of increasing the resolution of the lithographic process. His problem is that he usually has an upward impact on the cost of chips and the decline in production capacity, although it works. These two Chinese companies have been forced to use the Multiple patterning in your teams of deep ultraviolet lithography (UVP) because the prohibitions of the United States and the Netherlands prevent the Dutch company Asml from selling their machine their machines in Chinese extreme ultraviolet photolithography (UVE). The latter allow to produce more advanced semiconductors than UVP equipment. Huawei and SMIC seem blocked in the 7 nm lithography A little over a year ago, in February 2024, the newspaper Financial Times said having had access to the statements of two experts who defended that SMIC was finalizing the refinement of their semiconductor manufacturing processes in their UVP machines. Its purpose, according to this source, was to have the necessary technology to manufacture Integrated 5 nm circuits Massively before the year 2024. For SMIC and its clients, among which Huawei is, this would be a very important achievement. The triple folding of Huawei, one of its most ambitious proposals, reuses a 7 nm soc However, Huawei’s 5 NM socates have not yet appeared. The chip Kirin 9010 which has happened to the 9000S model is also being manufactured in the 7 NM SMIC node using the technique of Multiple patterning. We can find this soc, for example, in Huawei’s new triple foldingthe mate ultimate design, which We have tried Just two weeks ago at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. It is evident that the last smartphones of this company would have been wonderful to have a 5 -nm Soc. And to his GPU Asce for artificial intelligence (AI) too. But there is even more. According to Digitimes Asiathe CPU for PC Kirin X90 that will produce Huawei with the purpose of consolidating an alternative to Intel and AMD chips will also be manufactured in the 7 Nm node. In these circumstances it is reasonable to conclude that, for the moment, Huawei and SMIC are stuck in this integration technology. This is a big problem for China because it does not have the necessary technology to produce avant -garde semiconductors comparable to those who manufacture Intel, AMD or Qualcomm, among other western alignment companies. The great hope of the country led by Xi Jinping is having as soon as possible Your own UVE photolithography teamsand it seems that they are close. In fact, as we tell you last week, A filtration has revealed that Huawei is already testing a prototype of one of these machines. If this information is finally confirmed and China has its commercial UVE machines in 2026 will have taken a crucial step in its pulse with the US.

Organilleros are part of the cultural fabric of Mexico City. The problem is that there is no longer the one to manufacture the instruments

by

The music is The language of the soul, and a universal language. The streets of large and small cities in half the world have musicians of all kinds that make a living, do so by hobby or to entertain in an act that would shudder to the SGAE. In Mexico, that street music is tradition, one that remains alive thanks to the organilleros. They have a couple of centuries behind them and the saddest thing is that they are the perfect example of natural obsolescence: organillos will not die because there is no one who wants to touch them, but because there will be no one who knows how to repair them. The organ. The figure of the organillero may be far away right now to those who live in Europe. It is possible to see them at popular festivals in some German municipalities, but it is somewhat more anecdotal and reserved for concrete moments than anything else. In Mexico, the thing changes: there are still listening daily in cities such as Mexico City. Also in Buenos Aires or Santiago de Chile. The cylinders The curious thing is that the organilleros were born in Europe, such as Organillos. It is a portable mechanical instrument that was invented in the 18th century, but that was perfected when it arrived in Germany during the nineteenth century. The box can be decorated with the reasons you want It is a mechanical instrument with cylinders that have protuberances or perforations that rotate through a crank and activate a series of tabs. In doing so, an internal flame expels air through tubes, which are those that produce musical notes at predefined height and rhythm due to the cylinder itself. You don’t have to know music, go, you just have to turn the crank. Crossing the puddle. In Germany they were tremendously popular, but also in Italy, France, the Netherlands or Spain. Each country could adapt them to their popular songs and the organilleros went through the streets and squares entertaining the room of the pedestrians. It was a way to popularize music and, at some point at the end of the 19th century, they arrived in Mexico. It was a bombing. Ganoa. ‘Wagner and Levien’ was a musical instrument house founded by German immigrants who not only brought the organs, but also rented them to those who wanted to make a living playing on the street. They continued to be manufactured in Germany, so it was necessary to import them and it is said that the most important in this regard was Gilberto Lázaro Gaona. HE esteem that there were 250 organillos that acquired in the 1930s, coinciding with the moment in which they stopped manufactured in Germany. And they are the ones that, modified to reproduce Mexican popular music, have been circling through the streets of the city. Tradition. These organs weigh their own. Some get to overcome the 50 kilos and, although there are models that can be carried in tow, the most common is to support them on a stick or on a wheel support that facilitates transportation. The organilleros are wearing their traditional uniform and are dedicated to … that, to turn to the lever to activate the mechanism and color some of the transitted streets in the city. Obviously, thanks to the sensitivity with the animals, now it does not happen, but before these organilleros could carry a monkey that collected the donations and completed the show. Also in Chile Controversial and counterpoling. They are, therefore, part of the cultural fabric of Mexico City and, as happens so many times, there are tourists who do not see those local traditions with good eyes. Famous was the case of an American tourist who complained through social networks because of the sound of this instrument. They soon Fall criticism that did not harass the young woman, defenders of the trade of the organilleros, of the cultural importance they have and, why not say it, of that zeal for the homeland that sometimes exalts when we feel attacked. In extinction. Now, the organilleros seem to be far from disappearing, but another song is what will happen with the organ. Due to the use, possible accidents and friction between the elements, these organs are wearing and must be repaired. Do you remember the 250 pieces that Gaona imported? Well, it is estimated that the rest were lost, they were stolen or sold to collectors, and those 16 are those that continue to rent to the organilleros. And the person responsible for that business and its repair is, as we read in Unknown MexicoMarcela Silvia Hernández Cortés, Gilberto daughter -in -law. Her husband was the one who had the business and she taught her because the two men told her to dedicate himself to the kitchen when she tried to learn the trade. Legacy. After the death of her husband, Marcela learned on her own to repair these organs that, if they have survived, is thanks to her expertise and dedication. The sad thing is that there is no school of organizers, nor new pieces, because the factories closed and the hope of the artisan, as he commented on the news, is that their granddaughters continue with the legacy. “It is very laborious, but sometimes I look good,” Marcela said in the news, who also comments that, beyond the tradition, the organizing trade is an opportunity for people of a certain age who have run out of work and that they cannot, for whatever reason, access one. The artisan is a precious profession and, as we saw with the popular response to the video of the American tourist, the role of the organillero is respected and appreciated by the Mexicans. So much that there is Organizations that work to conserve this tradition.

Larry Page, founder of Google, has a new company and a goal between eyebrows and eyebrows: manufacture products with AI

by

While Serguéi Brin focuses in stepping on the accelerator To position Google in his career for AI, Larry Page is already exploring the industrial profits that future artificial intelligence models will have. As published The InformationPage would be behind Dynatoms, a startup focused on applying artificial intelligence algorithms to the DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE OF PRODUCTS optimizing the Use of materials and tools. Of artificial intelligence to industrial intelligence As It echoed TechcrunchLarry Page’s new project would not be linked to Google (except for its founder), and seeks to create “highly optimized” designs through the use of AI models to accelerate processes that usually require months of human work. This initiative marks the return of Page at the head of a technological project, then staying for several years in the role of discrete investor of aeronautics companies As Kitty Hawk. No details about Dynatoms activities are not known yet, but for what he has published The Informationits approach would not be limited to software: the platform would directly integrate the designs generated by In factories to start their industrial production. This connection would close the cycle from the design of a product to its chain manufacture, something innovative in a sector where both stages are usually managed separately. Page is not alone in this adventure. According to the investigations of The InformationHe is accompanied by Chris Anderson, former director of Kitty Hawk technology and hardware expert. The rest of the team would be formed by specialized engineers in AI, robotics and manufacturing systems. Since it is a very recent project in which Larry Page is still working, the names of these specialists are not known, but given the trajectory of both founders, it would not be unreasonable to find former Alphabet and Kitty Hawk employees. Early, but with a lot of future Although Page has been working in Dynatoms for months, the startup still has no launch date or confirmed customers. Sources close to the project cited by The Information They indicate that its founders prioritize technology before their presentation to the public. This contrasts with the usual approach in Silicon Valley de Lanz minimally viable productsalthough then they have to close them precipitously. According to a McKinsey studythe market potential to implement the supply chain and manufacturing could contribute up to 3.5 billion annually to the manufacturing sector by 2030. If Dynatoms manages to climb, he could compete with giants such as Autodesk or even with the generative tools of companies such as Openai, but specializing in concrete industrial applications. But it will not be alone in that area. Startups such as Orbital Materials is already using the for Develop new materials For the industry. Physicsx They are applying iA to optimize product design complex Like cars or aircraft using digital twins to accelerate its development. All of them are working to optimize processes with tools that do not even exist, but when they arrive, they will be at the forefront in their application.
