There is nothing to make blue in blue eyes. If we want to understand why, we have to resort to physics

by

Many of us learned first genetics lessons through peas and eye color. But there is more science when Explain the color that acquire our eyes. Not only does physics intervene but also a somewhat more complex biology than we believed in the beginning. Nature and blue. The blue color It is not one of the most frequent In nature. Perhaps that is why exceptions such as the flowers of this color, the plumages of some birds or the wings of certain insects are striking. A reason is in the optimization of resources. Blue pigments are molecules that reflect light in certain segments of the electromagnetic spectrum, those of blue tones, giving color to an object. The problem with these molecules is that They usually have a large size. This makes them difficult to synthesize by living beings so, if they do not offer a significant evolutionary advantage, they will not be created by our body. It is not chemical, it is physical. That is why when we see the blue color in nature, it is likely that its origin is not in a chemical compound but in some physical phenomenon. This is what happens, for example, in the case of the plumage of some birds, whose origin is in nanostructures whose shape is responsible for reflecting the light in short lengths of the visible spectrum, those of blue color. And it is also the case with blue eyes. Absence of pigmentation. Only that in the case of blue eyes it is not about the nanostructures but of the iris and of the Tyndall effectan effect similar to the person responsible for seeing the blue sky (and the red sunsets), Explain in an article in The conversation Davinia Beaver, expert in regenerative medicine of the Bond University, in Australia. When the light enters our eye, the suspended particles found in it interact with the shortest spectrum lengths, causing them to disseminate more, “bouncing” thus part of the blue color of the waves outside. The brown, quite the opposite. This effect does not occur among people with brown eyes because there is a pigment in this. This “catch” part of the light causing it not to escape so easily from the eye, giving darker tones. The pigment in question: melaninthe same responsible for darker skin tones. There are more eyes colors, such as green or “hazelnut color” eyes. These colors can be seen as the combination of the dispersion of the light of the Tyndall effect, modulated by a certain presence of melanin, either in small quantities or concentrated in some regions of the iris. Genetics is not so simple. The genetics we study in our school stage, of course, is simple, a simplified version of what we know about this field of biology. A field, in addition, that has been advancing over time, becoming more complex as we detract more and more details about its operation, Beaver remembers. Point out, for example, there are several genes that affect the appearance of our eyes, so family ins and outs that lead to one or another eye color may not be as perceptible as we believe. Eye color can also change as a result of other factors such as our age, as melanin accumulates in our eyes, which usually happens during growth. Certain medical conditions, Beaver adds, can also influence this color. In Xataka | We have been trying to decipher if all humans see the colors the same.

Although it is no longer the most populous country on the planet, China has a very valuable resource at its disposal: its population. It is currently estimated that some live some 1,464 million people and in China approximately 1,408 million human beings. The population in the country led by Xi Jinping has descended in recent years as a direct consequence of The low birth rate and aging. Even so, 1,408 million are many people. The Chinese government is fully aware of the enormous value of its human capital, especially in a period in which it is disputing world supremacy. Technological development will resolve which of these two countries exerts greater influence on the rest of the nations, hence the US government is doing everything in its hand to slow down as much as possible China’s technological progress. This last country needs talent to compete with the US on equal terms, and knows where you should look for it: in its population. In fact, the Chinese administration has encouraged the implementation of elite educational centers that receive the best students in the country with open arms. The Chen brothers were two of them. Today they are the founders and maximums responsible for one of the Chinese companies called to take the market that NVIDIA supports in this Asian nation. Cambricon Technologies is already one of the most valuable companies in China The brothers Chen Tianshi and Chen Yunji are two essential figures in Cambricon Technologies. The first serves as president and general director of this company specialized in the design of chips for applications of artificial intelligence (AI). And the second is an expert in the development of processors for neural networks that, as far as we know, exercises as an advisor and head of technology in Cambricon. Both trained in an elite program for young talents at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and currently the two are researchers and professors in this educational institution. Your best asset is its complementarity. Tianshi is an expert in chips design, and Yunji in AI. Together they created a project at the Chinese Academy of Sciences that pursued a processor specialized in deep learning. His plan went well and That chip allowed them to found their company. Although it is not as well known as Huawei or Moore Threads, Cambricon is one of the companies specialized in the design of GPU for AI with greater growth potential. Your best asset is its complementarity. Tianshi is an expert in chips design, and Yunji in artificial intelligence In fact, he has received the approval of the Shanghai bag (China) to raise 560 million dollars. Will allocate them to the design of four chips for training and inference of AI models, and also to the development of an alternative to CUDAfrom Nvidia. To this company everything seems to be going well. And is that during the last twelve months The value of its actions has tripled. The strategic role of AI for China in its technological and commercial war with the US supports Chinese companies dedicated to the hardware design for AI and the development of large language models. However, there is more than promises Promote the business in the short and medium term Not only of Cambricon Technologies, but also that of the other Chinese companies that design integrated circuits for IA. The Chinese government has decided to force data centers that belong to the State throughout the country To use at least 50% of Chinese integrated circuits on their servers. A priori is one of the most effective strategies when promoting innovation and minimize China’s dependence of technologies from abroad. And in all likelihood this measure will be supported by others in the future that will try to encourage the use of Chinese chips in all data centers in the country. Public and private.

On his way to become the great resort of Europe, Spain is at the gates of a milestone: 100 million tourists

by

There are figures that are more than figures. For some time, the Spanish tourism sector fantasizes with one that says a lot for example about its obsessions, objectives or drift that the industry has followed over the last years: exceed the brand of 100 million foreign visitors annually. In 2024 Spain stayed close, with almost 94 million of foreign travelers, and if things do not twist There are those who believe that this year will grow until the milestone of the three digits will crown. The big question is … What tells us about Spanish tourism? A figure: 100 million. The figures are just that. Figures Sometimes, however, they are loaded with symbolism, as the Spanish tourism sector is checking, it has long immersed in the race for exceed the barrier of the 100 million annual visitors. Last year he stayed close to that round figure, with a balance of 93.8 million of foreign tourists (10.1% more than in 2023), and since then there are many The voices that They have theorized (for and against) on whether the coveted milestone of the three digits will be reached throughout 2025. Is it possible? The million dollar question. At the beginning of summer June observatur I saw it feasible As long as they clarified, the bullish trend is maintained and the market is not shaken by unforeseen events. Others believe that Spain will keep honey on the lips and will not pass from 98 million of tourists or even They slidebased on the INE, which in 2024 was already pulverized by the 100 million mark. A percentage: 4.7%. Vaticinios and elucubrations apart, for now the most reliable track we have to know if Spain will or may not crown the 100 million summit is the statistic of border movements of the INE, which it already brings A ‘photo’ of the first semester of 2025. What does it show us? That there are reasons for optimism. And caution. Between January and June the flow of tourists that visited Spain grew 4.7% to touching 44.5 million, which approximates the country to the annual milestone. Well, right? Yes. And no. That balance hides another less flattering reading. In recent months, the flow of international tourists has clearly slowed down, which shows doubts in turn about the growth rate in the remaining of 2025. Between January and April the influx of international visitors grew between a 3.8% and 10.1%but in May marches until staying in the 1.5% And in June marked 1.9%. Taking into account that in 2024 Spain received 93.8 million tourists, to reach 100 million this year should rise together 6.6%. “The power of banality”. In A column published recently in The country Óscar Perelli of the Master, vice president of Execeltur, took importance to whether the three digits will be crowned this year, the one that comes or the next. “The possibility of reaching in 2025 the 100 million arrivals of international tourists to Spain (not tourists, some visit us several times a year) has raised an exaggerated interest,” warns. “It is the power of round figures and banality.” In his opinion there are other equal or even more relevant parameters, such as domestic demandthe duration of the average stay or the visitor spending. “The important thing is that in 2025 tourism will generate 220,000 million euros in Spain, it will exceed three million jobs, with a daily volume of tourists (Spanish and foreigners) somewhat higher than 7.4 for every hundred residents,” Point out. For now, the Ministry of Industry Calculate that during the first semester the expense of foreign tourists has exceeded 59.6 billion euros. Click on the image to go to Tweet. Beyond the figures. Although it is true that the milestone of 100 million is only that, a milestone, a symbolic brand, actually helps to understand some keys to the tourism sector. The main, saturation. As he is headed towards 100 million visitors or fools with the idea of overcome France and become the busiest destination on the planet (something feasible in 2040, According to Google and Deloitte calculations), Spain dealt with the effects of hypermasification tourist, which has already derived in protests in The streets. Throughout the last months there have been marches in Catalonia, Balearics, Canary Islands either Cantabriabetween Other parts of the countrywhich warn about the effects of massification and cry for a more sustainable economic model. Among other reasons for The impact that has had on the housing market the proliferation of tourist floors, which has even led to local, autonomic and state administrations has moved token for brake to your offer. Going down to detail. The career of the 100 million annual visitors also hides another reality that has marked the tourist drift of the country. As The flights And the accommodation was increasing until reaching record levelsSpain has become more a destination For foreigners than for premises. The reason is very simple: often the latter are already equal or even more profitable travel abroad than to the Canary Islands or Balearic Islands. Prices They have climbed so much that there are even British changing The Spanish coast for Morocco. What do the data say? The INE provides some data that help to better understand that reality. His Frontur statisticson tourist movements at the borders, it shows that in 2024 Spain received 93.8 international tourists10.1% more than the previous year. The growth was led by the British, French and Germans and the most demanded destinations were Catalonia and the Balearic Islands. If we talk about the flow of Spanish tourists the photo is quite different. The Family Statistics that measures the trips made by the population resident in the country reflects that in 2024 the Spaniards we made 184.4 million trips, 0.8% less than the previous year. This setback hides however an even more interesting reading: when we plan our vacations, the Spaniards look more at a time with more interest the destinations located outside our borders. “Internal destination (trips) decreased 2.3% while those … Read more

Now we know everything that the new North Korea resort offers for 2,000 dollars. There is only one rule: be Russian

by

The first time we listened to the idea there was talk of setting up a Benidorm species North Korean version. That first outline mutated until woning already North Korea in a holiday place. The doubt since then, and more after Its inaugurationIt was knowing what attractions this resort had in one of the most isolated enclaves in the world, and what guests would go to the call. All that and something else has just known. Exclusivity and Russians. I told this week The journal wallstreet through a trip that has lasted seven days. The coastal complex by Wonsan Kalmaone of Kim Jong’s emblematic projects to exhibit an image of modernity and prosperity in North Korea, opened its doors to foreign visitors for the first timealthough very selectively: Russian citizens could only access. Conceived in 2018 and announced by the leader himself in his New Year speechthe project was inspired by leisure destinations Like Benidormwith plans for hotels of high height, casino, shopping centers and an aquatic park. According to the Official propagandait is a sample of the “policy centered in the people” and the large investments of the regime in social welfare, although satellite images show that a good part remains unfinished. Pompa and reopening. The partial reopening of borders In Februaryafter the total closure by the pandemic, it has served at the same time to strengthen cooperation political and military With Moscow, in a context in which Kim has promised Unconditional support to the Russian war against Ukraine. The Journal told that the inaugural visit of 13 Russian tourists It coincided With the arrival of Foreign Minister Serguéi Lavrov, housed in the best hotel and personally received by Kim on his private yacht. Experiences. The group of the first visitors, composed of experienced travelers and High purchasing powerhe started his tour with three days in Pyongyang before moving to Wonsan. Although the initial plan was to fly, they were redirected on a 10 -hour train trip to cover the 120 kilometers to the eastern coast, a change attributed to preparations for the preparations for the Arrival of Lavrov. Once at the resort, they met deserted beachesan extremely attentive service and disposal of the staff to satisfy any request, from preparing custom breakfasts to deliver chairs and speakers in the sand. And more. The beaches, apparently, They are segregated For premises and foreigners, the aquatic park remains closed to the latter and payments are made with recharged electronic bracelets only in dollars, euros or yuan. Prices ranged from 60 cents of a beer and the $ 465 of a model of a HWASong-17 missilewhile some activities, such as the use of aquatic motorcycles or quads, were free due to the absence of fixed rates. The visitors claimed to have enjoyed an unusual freedom to take photographs, documenting curiosities such as imported Heineken beer, war toys and buses with propaganda slogans. Of inside doors. The Arrival of Lavrov It altered the routine of the complex, which was filled with North Korean visitors apparently belonging to the elite, identifiable by its careful clothing and latest generation mobiles, something uncommon in the country. More. The hotel staff apparently showed behaviors that They surprised to tourists, such as ignoring “not disturbing” posters or reducing the temperature of hot water without consent. In a striking episode, the medium that dozens of North Koreans were equipped with swimsuits And they threw themselves into the sea next to the Russian visitors, including the group’s own guide, who did not know how to swim and spent hours clinging to one of them. Objectives and projection. What’s doubt, Wonsan Kalma It is not only an leisure center, but a propaganda instrument that the regime uses to demonstrate that it can offer luxury and recreation despite international sanctions and internal precariousness. In the domestic sphere, access to North Koreans is expected to be used as Loyalty Award Politics, reinforcing the official narrative of prosperity under the direction of Kim. The initial restriction of Russian visitors underlines the narrow tune strategic with Moscow and adds an element of exclusivity that enhances its symbolic value. In this way, experts point out that attracting international tourism in volume It will be difficultsince most travelers interested in North Korea seek their capital, their ideological monuments and military enclaves, Not a vacation on its beaches. It does not seem to import much in Pyongyang, where the regime plans to receive a second group of Russian tourists shortly, using Wonsan as a showcase of his political alliance and as an outgoing exterior. A place where the hospitality and the staging reinforce the message that, even under sanctions, North Korea can offer experiences that it intends to present as exclusive and luxurious.

China wanted to turn a village into a great tourist resort. Did not have the numantine resistance of a neighbor

by

For a while to this part, the Guizhou area, in downtown China, has become the stage of impossible architectures. In fact, there is a imposing mountain chainbut a bridge so high has been raised that they fit Two Eiffel towers Under him. Not far from there, one person is raising another titanic work: a kind of street castle. A challenge to demolition. I told the weekend The New York Times. In a high grass plain in the Chinese province of Guizhou, a structure that Challenge the laws of physicsurbanism and the very bureaucracy. Composed of eleven floors of reddish wooden rooms embedded by each other, supported by pulleys, water cubes and recycled columns, Chen Tianming’s house seems taken from an enlightened novel by Dr. Seuss or delighted world From El Castillo Ambulante of Ghibli. At first glance, it may seem like a fragile and improvised extravagance, but for its creator and inhabitant, 43, it represents a tenacious affirmation of freedomidentity and resistance to state power. From the ninth floor, to which I access homeless stairs without any railing, Chen observes the uniform apartment buildings where his old neighbors They were relocated. He chose another way: a vertical, personal and challenging. Architecture against forced uprooting. It all started In 2018when the Xingyi government announced the demolition of Chen’s hometown to build A resort. The compensation offer was considered ridiculous by his family, who refused to leave. When the excavators began to destroy, Chen left his messenger work in Hangzhou and returned to defend his parents’ house. Initially motivated by an economic logic (compensation depended on the built area), began adding floors with his brother using recycled materials. But what began as a pragmatic measure became a personal obsession. Apartment on floor, his house grew with him, as a physical extension of his determination to stay, resist, and transform a rural home into a work of inhabited art. And architecture as a manifesto. While officials They insisted in outlaw The structure and sent eviction notifications, Chen responded With nails, ropes and books. The man had studied mathematics before leaving the university, and worked as a calligraphy seller, insurance agent and delivery man, but found in the construction a form of expression that transcended the utility. Each floor had A function or a symbol: A reading corner in the fifth, an outdoor tea house in the sixth, hanging plants and suspended objects in the eighth, a bedroom always higher. Your tools: stairs, pulleys, old woods and their own body. The house became newspaper, shelter and trench. Chen, what He claims to feel “Guardian of the village,” he dedicated his mornings to inspect every corner and repair damage with such ingenious solutions as strategic buckets and columns elevated by the windows. A family history. Despite the skepticism of their neighbors, who accuse them of selfishness or foolishness, the Chen family He has joined Around this unlikely structure. Their parents, accustomed to receiving curious visitors on weekends, with stoic patience the decision of their child. Even his brother has suggested decorating the house With lanterns at night. Together they have chosen isolation against the contempt of the former neighbors who moved. Meanwhile, demolition threat seems have deflated: The resort project was frozen due to lack of funds, in a province marked by Pharaonic developments unfinished. Chen, however, continues to build, not by necessity or ambition, but because it says that each new floor is a personal challenge, an intimate conquest against time and entropy. Uncertain legacy. Obviously, Chen Tianming’s house is not intended to last, and he knows it. He acknowledges that, without its constant maintenance, he would collapse in a couple of years. But he also states that while he is standing, his house will be. He has invested little More than $ 20,000 in materials and about 4,000 in lawyers. His expenses, no doubt, are not those of a professional builder, but rather those of a stubborn artist. Although the government has placed a sign warning of Structural Dangersmany neighbors express admiration against originality and will embodied in the structure. Its construction violates known urban codes, but embodies a form of resistance that many feel their own. “If they demolished it, it would be a shame,” some counted to the Times. In a constant China Forced modernizationthe Chen tower is more than a nail: it is a declaration of intentions.

Someone wants to convert an ancient communist fort in the middle of the Adriatic into a resort for millionaires: the Trump family

by

In the heart of the Mediterranean, a Albanian island that was closed to the world for decades by its military past, is about to transform into one of the destinations more exclusive on the planet. The Trump family, through Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, has bought Sazan, a small island of just over 5.7 square kilometers in front of the coast of Albania and its intention is to turn it into A luxury shelter Only suitable for millionaires. The operation, valued at more than one billion euros, has caught international attention not only for the magnitude of the investment, but for the symbolism that An ancient communist fort become the new whim of 1% richer of the world population. A past of bunkers and communist paranoia In 2021, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner ran into Sazan during a yacht holiday for the Gulf of Vallea, just 30 kilometers from the city of Vlora in Albania. As the millionaire counted in the podcast De Lex Fridman, both were fascinated by the island’s sunrises and for their intact landscape covered with ferns, lavender, broom and laurel. That is why the couple decided to bet strongly on this corner Virgen del Mediterraneo. Shortly after, they closed the purchase of those 567 hectares uninhabited for just over one billion euros. However, Sazan was not always the uninhabited paradise that is today. Such and as they counted in The Guardianduring The communist regime of Inver Hoxha, that governed Albania Between 1944 and 1985, the island was a Strategic military enclave isolated from the continent and inhabited by about 150 military families. The Albanian ruler lived obsessed with the idea of ​​an imperialist invasion of its territory, so it ordered to pierce the entrails of the island with about 16 kilometers of tunnels and build around 3,600 concrete bunkers, which still splashed the landscape as scars of that time. The military and their families lived virtually incommunicado, surrounded by fortifications and underground supplies and always vigilant views waiting for some enemy submarine to emerge with bad intentions. The island It was used For the Italian Finanza Guard in the 1990s to combat drug trafficking and people, and it was not until December 2024 when he officially left be a military base. The importance of being called Trump The Trump family project would not have been possible without the determined support of the Tirana government. According to Posted by La Prensa Albansa, Prime Minister Edi Rama has publicly defended the initiative as a strategic opportunity for the country. “We cannot allow ourselves not to take advantage of a gift. Albania needs luxury tourism as the desert needs water,” Rama said, underlining the importance of attracting international investments and positioning Albania as high -level tourist destination. The Government has granted Affinity Partners, managed by Donald Trump’s son -in luxury shelter Reserved for Millionaires. This status implies tax advantages, support in public infrastructure and an accelerated processing of permits and regulations. The project provides for the creation of about 1,000 direct jobs, a relevant figure for the local economy in which, According to data of the ‘World Tourism Barometer‘From 2024, Albania earns greater importance as a holiday destination. As They point from Bloomberg, it is not strange that the Trump family has obtained green light for this project right now that the patriarch of the clan occupies the oval office of the White House. Luxury, exclusivity and environmental controversy The project ‘Sazan Island Touristic Resort‘promises to transform the island into a private paradise, with Villas embedded in the cliffsfive -star hotels backed by the prestigious chain Aman, and a coast reserved only for the activities of the most exclusive guests. The design is designed to attract a clientele willing to pay fortunes for privacy and personalized services. According to the Plans presentedin the first phase only 45 of the 567 hectares will be urbanized, maintaining the rest of the island and its hiking trails as a protected environment. The first project designs show a constructed villas complex respecting the steep orography of the island, and integrating them into the environment so that the landscape and local flora are altered as little as possible. However, since it is a protected natural enclave, the project is not exempt from controversy. Environmental groups have raised the voice Against the transformation of Sazanarguing that “the island is a natural enclave that must be preserved” and warning of the ecological impact that the massive arrival of yachts and tourists of high purchasing power will have. “This area is in the Karaburun-Sazan Maritime Park. This means that beaches and waters within a radius of the coast are protected. What consequences will great public works, the construction of docks, yacht traffic and wastewater discharge in this place? ” Olsi NikaMarina Biologist and director of the NGO Ecoalbania to The Guardian. In addition, before the Ishulli I Trumpëve (Trump Island), as the locals already call it, can open its doors, it will be necessary The invasion would arrive aboard huge supereyates and armed with huge bundles of tickets in the pockets.

The price of rice has raised so much that Japan has had to make an unprecedented decision: resort to its reservations

by

Few things reflect to what extent there is a crisis situation that the price of a basic product in the supermarket. In Japan, and in most Asia, Rice is a fundamental pillar of foodsupporting the life of much of the population. However, a combination of factors threatens the essential cereal. In Japan he has never been so expensive, and the government has made an unprecedented decision. Tons of rice. Given the increase in rice due to distribution problems, the Japanese government has announced that, As of March, it will release 210,000 tons from its emergency reserve To stabilize the market. It is, therefore, The first time this reserve is used with the purpose of reducing pricesinstead of doing so for emergencies such as bad harvests or natural disasters. The Minister of Agriculture, Taku Eto, emphasized that rice production has been enough to meet demand, but bottlenecks in the distribution have maintained high prices. In 2024, Production increased by 180,000 tons compared to the previous year. However, the amount collected by distributors fell into 210,000 tons, which suggests that Farmers and wholesalers retained stocks anticipating new price increases. According to researcher Masayuki Ogawa at UTSunomiya University, The mismatch is due to the entry of speculative buyers They have artificially maintained prices without the benefits reaching producers. Crisis factors. As we said at the beginning (And in past weeks), there are several. The price of a five kg package of Japanese rice has risen from 2,023 yen to 3,688 yen in a year. Causes? The 2023 record heat wave reduced agricultural yields and reserves, while consumption increased due to unprecedented tourism. Besides, The warnings of typhoons and earthquakes unleashed panic purchaseswhich led some retailers to limit sales. To this we must add what we commented before. The harvest has not been bad, but quite the opposite, but everything indicates that farmers and wholesalers retained stocks anticipating new price increases. Liberation strategy and expectations. To relieve market pressure, The Ministry will initially auction 150,000 tons of rice to agricultural and wholesale cooperatives, mostly composed of a grain of 2024, with a small part of 2023. Subsequently, another 60,000 tons will be releaseddepending on the impact of the first phase. The auction will take place in mid -March, which means that rice will begin to reach shops between the end of March and April. The main objective is clear: Improve distribution without intervening directly in the market price mechanism. In this regard, Eto reaffirmed the government’s position that Prices must be regulated by supply and demandtrusting that the measure helps normalize the situation. In addition, the Ministry plans to replace (buy “back”) the amount released within the year, with flexibility in the deadlines according to the market reaction. Impact on consumers and industry. While the measure is expected to reduce the price of rice, Ogawa warned that The decrease will not be immediate or uniform at all points of sale. Instead of directly impacting prices in supermarkets, released rice probably is destined for the prepared food industry, such as restaurants, hospitals and schools. What is that reserve of the nation. Japan implemented its rice reservation system in 1995, after the supply crisis caused by an unusually cold summer in 1993. Since then, since then, since then, The government maintains a stock of approximately one million tons and are stored in some 300 facilities nationwide, annually renewing 200,000 tons to guarantee the supply in emergency situations. In fact, a warehouse in Saitama, near Tokyo, allowed access to media before the ad, Showing 20,000 tons of rice, enough to fill 300 million bowls. In the past, these reserves have been used after natural disasters such as the earthquake and tsunami of 2011 in Tohoku and the Lady of Kumamoto in 2016. Now it remains to be seen that the movement has effect and the stabilization in the distribution is containing the price increase In the medium term.
