They have created a pixel so small that it fits on the tip of a pin

by

We’ve been talking about smart glasses for years, but the big obstacle has always been the same: the screen is still too big to go unnoticed. At the University of Würzburg, a group of physicists assures having manufactured the “smallest light-emitting pixel in the world”, a light point that measures about 300 by 300 nanometers and that, even with that size, reaches, according to the team, the brightness of a conventional 5 by 5 micrometer OLED pixel. If the technology can scale, a complete microdisplay could be practically integrated into the frame of glasses, invisible to the naked eye. The advance comes from Germany, where a team led by physicists Bert Hecht and Jens Pflaum has managed to reduce OLED technology to a scale never before achieved. Your work was published on October 22, 2025 in Science Advances and describes a method for fabricating ultra-compact light-emitting pixels using optical antennas. The goal is not just to demonstrate that they work, but to lay the foundation for a new generation of projection modules for smart glasses and other wearable devices. A tiny pixel, big brightness. More than a question of size, the discovery lies in the luminous intensity that they have managed to maintain by miniaturizing the structure. The result points to very high resolutions in practically imperceptible spaces. In a device of this type, the panel is not seen from the front: it acts as a light source that projects the image onto the lens, which allows the projection system to be integrated into areas as discreet as the frame of glasses. Scheme of the nanopixel developed in Würzburg High resolution in no space. Reducing a light source to nanometric dimensions without losing power is not only a question of miniaturization, but of materials engineering. The team has shown that it is possible to guide the current and optimize the emission in a structure where space barely allows room for error. With this control, OLED technology enters a new phase, in which pixels cease to be discrete elements and become optical components with antenna behavior. To achieve this, the researchers had to completely redesign the way current flows within the pixel. In previous attempts, the electricity was concentrated at the edges and ended up damaging the material, like lightning that always seeks the shortest path. Their solution was to add a thin insulating layer that blocks these leaks and leaves a tiny central opening through which the current passes in a controlled manner. This way they achieved a stable emission without the pixel being destroyed over time. Efficiency and color. Although the prototype demonstrates solid operating density and stability, its external quantum efficiency is as low as 1%. The researchers hope to improve that figure by optimizing organic materials and antenna architecture, and plan to expand the emission spectrum to all three primary colors. Only then could this technology be considered ready for the next generation of portable microdisplays.

create mental categories as a small child

by

For many dog ​​owners, the your pet’s ability to understand words As ‘ball’, ‘Paseo’ or ‘Chuche’ is a reason for astonishment. But now what dogs can understand a new leap, to move on to compression that goes beyond associating a sound with a specific object. Something that A study Published in Current Biology, it has seen in after its investigation, where they have concluded that dogs can have communication capacities so far reserved for humans. The investigation. The study has been led by Claudia fleet An exceptional group of dogs known as ‘Gifted Word Learner’. Some dogs that are not common at all, since they have an extraordinary talent to learn the names of the objects, with vocabularies ranging from 29 to more than 200 words, one, enables that allows them to learn names of objects quickly in playful interactions with their owners. Learning the rules. To find out if dogs can go beyond simple visual recognition, the researchers designed an ingenious four -phase experiment. The first one focuses on dogs learning what they will have to do. To do this, the owners taught their dogs two verbal labels for two toys groups. For example, a set of four objects were assigned the ‘throw’ label and the only interaction was the game of the strip and loosen. Another set of four toys was given the “launch” label, and with them it was only played to throw them so that the dog would bring them. The crucial thing in this case is that toys within each category did not share any systematic physical characteristic. The only thing in common was the label and the way of playing with them. The exam. The second phase was to verify if the dogs had come to understand well the rules that had been previously taught. Eight dogs exceeded the test successfully, recovering the right toy with at least 12 of 16 attempts. New toys. The third phase was undoubtedly fundamental and is the ‘kit’ of the matter. Here the owners introduced completely new toys for dogs and for a week they played with them in the two ways already established above but with a very strict rule: verbal labels of ‘throw’ or ‘launch’ could not be used. The dogs only experienced the role of the toy, without anyone saying their name or for what they were using it. The fire test. Once all these phases were made, only these new toys were left (with which he had played without appointing it) with other family toys. The owner from another room not to give visual clues asked the dog ‘bring me a’ throw/throw ‘. The dog at that time had to deduce which new toy the owner referred to with this instruction, based solely on the function he had previously experienced with him. Results. The dogs selected the correct new toy, the one with which they had played in the manner corresponding to the label, with a frequency well above chance. On an average of 48 attempts, the dogs hit 31 times. This clearly demonstrates that dogs were not limited to learning the names of individual objects. Instead, they created two “mental categories” based on the function of objects: one for ‘throw’ toys and another for ‘launch’. When they met a new and nameless toy, they were able to assign it to the correct category based on the use that was given. This ability to generalize a label to functionally similar objects, ignoring appearance differences, is a fundamental pillar of language development in children. In fact, this ability emerges in young and preschool children, who learn to understand that both a ceramic cup and a plastic glass belong to the ‘glass’ category because both serve to drink. The importance. This study is pioneer especially to demonstrate that a non -linguistic species can perform a functional classification linked to the learning of verbal labels, and does so in a naturalistic game context and without having to undergo a lot of repetitions in a laboratory environment. Until now you could think that dogs worked through perception, but this study comes to change this idea we had. In this case, the fact that animals classify the world mainly by perceptible characteristics such as shape or color is challenged. These dogs were based on the ‘planned utility’ of the object. In this way, GWL dogs are emerging as an unprecedented animal model to investigate cognition precursors related to language in ecologically valid conditions, offering parallels with child learning. Open a door. The authors themselves point out that this ability is, for now, exclusive to these “gifted” dogs and should not be generalized to the entire canine population. However, it opens the door to investigate whether this capacity is latent in other dogs and what cognitive mechanisms support it.

The digital kit promises to digitize SMEs and freelancers and “give them” a Macbook Air. There is a lot of small print

by

On paper the Digital kit It doesn’t seem a bad idea. The government’s proposal, managed by Red.esgrants a series of subsidies to facilitate the “digital transformation” of SMEs and freelancers. Or what is the same: that small businesses and people “in self -employment” can for example have their website, their online store and even access the subsidy of a macbook air m4 that seems to leave “free”. Except that it does not go free. Not much less. Subsidies for digital transformation The program, promoted by Red.es and the Ministry for Digital Transformation and Public Function, aims to “digitize” SMEs and adapt them to new times. Source: Red.es Financing comes from the Next Generation EU program of the European Union, and to start it up they were established different segments of beneficiaries that depended on the size of the SMEs or whether you were autonomous. The calls for almost all segments have been ending over the last months, but there is one that remains active: that of segment III, dedicated to SMEs from zero to three employees and also autonomous. The maximum amount of the subsidy for this segment is 3,000 euros, and is divided into two items. The first, with a subsidy of up to 2,000 euros can be used to commission the development of a web page (“basic internet presence”) or an online store (“Marketplace”). The second, which is becoming a claim on social networks, is a subsidy of up to 1,000 euros for the acquisition of a “safe job”which normally translates into a PC or portable. An important detail here: you can not ask for only the computer for the computer, and this can only be requested as a complement to the subsidy for the website or online store mentioned above. To access the program and get those “digital bonds” of up to 3,000 euros the process, explained in a PDFIt is theoretically simple. Just access the web accelerapyme.escomplete a “self -diagnosis test” and request help Digital kit through the form of the Red.es electronic headquarters. From there we will have to get in touch with a “digitizer agent”which will be the intermediary through which this “digital transformation” of our business is carried out. It is they who provide us with services (or manage that a third party provide them) and that they also take care of the acquisition of the famous portable of 1,000 euros. It is possible to become one of these digitalizing agents through the aforementioned Electronic Headquarters of Red.es, and In another guide in PDF It explains how to log in. A digitizer agent tells us the reality of the digital kit program As we say, on paper everything seems correct, but in practice the digital kit program has become a source of controversy that affects both parties, both those who have asked for those subsidies and to those who have managed them. To know from within what is happening we have talked to Pablo F. Iglesiasfounder of the consultant Cyberbainers that among other things achieved homologation for the digital kit. He has suffered the “small print” of this project as well as a service provider as a couple of a person who requested them. After this time offering their services, he tells us how his feeling is that there were “too many used who have seen in the program a quick business opportunity.” It is a message that others have shared such as Jaime Gómez-Obregón, which explained in x How a microenterprise “sold” hundreds of digital kit projects by subcontracting websites to freelancers in South America, which ended up promoting “Business models of using and throwing”. Iglesias also indicated how there have been large companies that They have taken advantage of the program to capture new customers as part of your service offer. In both cases the impact has been mostly negative. There are many the Complaints in social networks that They speak of Scams Related and how it has been seen that frequently the quality of the web pages or online stores created was very low, they were often “clones” of other web pages with minimal modifications that did not justify the 2,000 euros of the subsidy. For churches there is another additional problem: “Although they grant, for example, 6,000 euros to your company, the categories are limited to maximum expenses. Insufficient expenses to provide a service of twelve months, which encourages, by the structure of the subsidy itself, that the quality of the service is very but very low … or an economic agreement is reached outside the digital kit contract.” Iglesias himself explained that with 2,000 euros it is practically impossible for someone to “make you a professional website, give you basic services of backups, maintenance and monthly SEO work for 12 months.” Even so, he emphasizes, this program has caused the foam “alleged marketing agencies that They are dedicated to riding clonic WordPress With free templates in an afternoon, financing with the digital kit. “Although these pages do not position well in front of the competition, in the eyes of the program they have fulfilled the work,” and as the type client to which they van do not understand anything in the digital world, because it cooks. “ Free laptop myth In recent days we have started to see frequently on social networks like Tiktok Publications of accounts that They talked of The easy What was it get a macbook air m4 “free” subsidized by digital kit. But all these messages are misleading advertising, since although the digital kit program subsidizes these teams, who want to take advantage of this option will have to be very attentive to the small print. To start, because That subsidy does not cover VATand here Iglesias points to how “the state always wins.” To get the laptop we have to ask both the subsidy of 1,000 euros for the “safe job” and the 2,000 euros for the creation of a website or, as many of those ads sell, the start -up of … Read more

Europe invested 15,000 million euros in Northvolt to compete with Chinese batteries. Now it is from the US for a very small part

by

Lyten has bought Northvolt. If you have no idea who Lyten is or what Northvolt is, don’t worry, you are not the only one. The basic thing you have to know is that Northvolt was European and had managed to attract 15,000 million euros with a very potential investment of European manufacturers and institutions. But he broke and is now in the hands of Lyten (American). Step by step, we will understand how the greatest hope for the production of electric car batteries in Europe has collapsed and has ended up in the hands of a United States company for a ridiculous price. Lyten Buy Northvolt. For a figure that is not public but that points to just over 600 million euros. Although the terms of the final agreement have not been made public, it is known that Lytena Silicon Valley startup specialized in the supply of lithium-sugar batteries has achieved financing of 650 million dollars until the time of purchase, As reflected on their own website. The final price has not been revealed but in media such as Reuters It is ensured that the company had achieved another 200 million dollars for this purchase. At the moment, it is known that Americans have bought Northvolt “at a small price,” as explained in the news agency. What is Northvolt? This Swedish company was simply the great European hope in the production of batteries for electric cars. In The New York Times They explain that the facilities of this company in Sweden and Germany are among the most advanced in Europe, so they describe the purchase of Lyten as “bold”. His goals were ambitious. They assured that with NorthvoltEurope would go from producing 3% of the total volume of batteries around the world to 25%. To achieve this, the company had 6,500 employees distributed by Sweden and Germany, with facilities that had to reach a production of 60 GWh in Germany. Sustained by a huge investment in R&D. What happened? That broke at the end of last year. The company had announced that I couldn’t cope with their debts (5,800 million euros) and that had to dismiss 1,600 employees. A few months before, BMW canceled an order of 2,000 million dollars In batteries after Northvolt confirmed that he could not give them in time. As domino pieces, everything ended up falling. And, consequently, with the banking company, its facilities, workers and resources were a bargain for anyone. For anyone who dares to face years of losses in the hope of earning money. Lyten has been the company that has taken the front. Lyten. The American company specialized in the production of sulfur-lithium batteries (which is contributing to the US armed forces) has been the one that has confirmed the purchase of Northvoltincluding all its assets (also the projects they had in Canada) but, of course, assuming its debt of almost 6,000 million euros. The company, of which Jeep (Stellantis) owns 2%, believes that with the purchase some of the customers who left the company can return before their fall. The objective is to focus more on the production of batteries for electric cars and return the illusion for a competitive European production against China. However, in Reutersexperts remember that China has cost between 15 and 20 years dominate the supply chain and battery production so it is not realistic to think of short -term benefits. “If you think you can shorten it (this time), then you simply do not understand batteries,” says Rob Anstey, CEO of the Silicon Battery Batteries developer GDI. Lost investments. The most dramatic thing about Northvolt’s bankruptcy is that billions of euros of European companies may have been lost. But, above all, of European public institutions. Volkswagen was the main shareholder of the company (21%) and it is estimated that injected at least 1.4 billion euros. They were not the only ones. It is known that Volvo lifted a Joint Venture with Northvolt by Value of 2.7 billion euros. BMW also invested about 1,000 million euros and had committed another 2,000 million of euros for the purchase of batteries. Scania was also part of the investments. They joined them Financial groups such as Goldman Sachs and various venture capital funds. But we must not forget that in Northvolt he also put public money at stake. The European Investment Bank made available to Northvolt More than 1 billion eurosof which 280 million euros had been contributed and whose last departure (943 million euros) had not been disbursed entirely. To this we must add 700 million euros in direct subsidies committed by Germany and that they have not been delivered but of which Lyten can benefit if, finally, the project of its plant in Heide (Germany) is finished. And also the Quebec government contributed 160 million euros, with the promise of supporting with almost 500 million euros.

Labubu Humanity Bags are being small. So its creator already knows how to sell even more

by

Labubu have become a global phenomenon. In China alone, for 2024, they reached sales for about 355 million euros and, since then, their figures in the rest of the world They grow at a rhythm of 480%. To Spain too The fever arrived: The stores They ran out of stock and many buyers have had to resort to Wallapop or Vind, with the consequent Risk of falsifications. Pop Mart, the manufacturer of the stuffed animals, He has shot in the stock market After affirming the CEO Wang NO that its initial forecast of reaching 2.8 billion dollars in sales for this year can grow 50% to 3,580 million, something that, says “would be quite easy.” He would be able to double the income of 2024. And they have explained how they plan to do it: launching the “Mini Labubu“ From the bag to the mobile. With their rabbit ears and a very sinister smile, the labubu have conquered bags and backpacks of their buyers, after being popularized by influencers like Lisa, from the K-Pop Blackpink groupDua Lipa, Madonna, David Beckham or Kim Kardashian. Now Pop Mart wants to conquer something much more common and transversal than a bag: the smartphone. As the company explained, the Mini Labubu can be placed on phones, and will not take them to launch them. It will happen this week. The ‘Sonny Angel’ taught the way. The mobile accessories market is huge, but none explains so well the step that is going to give Pop Mart with the Mini Labubu like the ”Sonny Angel‘, those little “plastic angels” that after being created in 2004, are now glued to many mobile and even laptops of very young people from Spain after being a viral phenomenon in Tiktok. The key was the version ‘Hipper‘, designed to fit with the mobile and corners and frames of the screens and popularized by celebrities such as Rosaría or Victoria Beckham. And they took steps such as collaborating with covers of covers such as Casetify that show Pop Mart where sales can continue to grow once they launch the reduced size labubu. In fact, They already collaborate With brands such as Disney, DC, Marvel, Minions, Capcom, Garfield, etc. As explained in The Economist, China is now “Cool”and has everything to conquer Europe. Without supplying, but with a plan. Wang said that it is very optimistic for the company’s performance “in foreign markets”, and believes that “there is a very wide space for growth”, predicting that the sales of North America and Pacific Asia will match those of China in 2024. The problem is that Labubus’s production does not give to meet demand. This explains average resale prices of $ 121 (and up to 240 euros), compared to the 30 dollars that are officially sold. It is the same problem that Xiaomi also faces in China with The resale of su7but they are working on expanding the production capacity, and Yuan Junjie, president of the Pop Supply Chain Center Mart, states that produce 10 times more than in the same period last yearwhich translates into 30 million units per month. They plan to continue improving, with two new factories abroad and two in China. At the moment they have benefited from Getting with Labubus is an art.

Ryanair is abandoning small airports in France. There is an unexpected beneficiary: a Spanish airline

by

France is the queen of world tourism. Spain is close, but the neighboring country moved In 2024 almost 90 million visitors. A good part of them depend on the plane to arrive, and the problem is that they will soon pay more money to leave. The reason? A “solidarity tax”. And Ryanair has not been funny. So little that will leave some routes in winter. On the other side of the door, ready to collect the witness, was a Spanish airline. Volotea. Taxes. The trigger is the TSBA. This is the abbreviation of ‘Taxe de Solidarité Sur Les Billets d’Avion’, a tax applied in France to the tickets. It is the French authorities that set the amount of tax with the aim of financing international aid programs or to promote ecological measures. A few months ago, that tax experienced an increase of 180% and, although It depends on the flightdistance and plane, in a Economic flight Within France or Europe, the rate went from 2.66 euros to 9.5 euros. Other countries have other rates and in Spain, for example, there is one that applies to the use of infrastructure, security, shipping and other services that will rise about 68 cents per passenger as of March 1, 2026. It is a 6.5%rise, much lower than French. But well, as we say, Italy, Germany or Netherlands also have their rates. Leave. Ryanair comes into play here. The airline, the largest in Europe by fleet, considers that they are excessive and threatened to state that the increase will make many routes unfeasible. In a nutshell: trips to regional airports to small and medium -sized cities will not be so profitable by reducing the margins of these Airlines ‘Low Cost’ and, therefore, it would cease to make sense to keep them. And so it has been. As we read in Radar TravelRyanair will completely retire from Strasbourg, Brive-La-Gaillarde and Bergerac airports from this winter. In total, it will cut 25 routes and 750,000 seats on those dates, reducing its operations in France by 13%. Proper names. The consequences are devastating for the affected cities: Brive loses routes such as London-Stansted. Strasbourg loses links with Porto and Agadir. Bergerac will lose 33% of the activity, which can even touch the airport. They are the most affected, but other larger airports such as those of Toulouse, Marseille or Beauvais in Paris will also have activity cuts. “Unless the government eliminates this unfair air tax, Ryanair’s capacity and investment in France will inevitably redirect to more competitive European markets such as Sweden, Hungary or part of Italy, where governments are eliminating air taxes to stimulate traffic, tourism, employment and economic recovery,” Comment The CCO of Ryanair, Jason McGuinness. Volotea. This decision has resonated at the Volotea offices, a low -cost Spanish airline that bases its business on connecting small and medium -sized cities in Europe. They are those that do not usually cover the big companies, with 420 Routes in 2025reaching up to 100 cities in 18 European countries. Two names that we have already commented and that covers volotea are those of Marseille and Toulouse. And, how we read in Hosteltur And that Volotea itself collects in its press section, the withdrawal of Ryanair leaves room for the Spanish to stay with the connections of Strasbourg with Agadir (Morocco) and Porto, with the intention of creating 70 jobs to operate. “I don’t want money”. Thus, from this new pulse of Ryanair to the authorities of a country, the Spanish company benefits. And it is a sum and continues in a particular battle that Ryanair undertakes when the margins are at stake, such as when the controversial CEO of the company, Michael O’Learyconfirmed that aspires that passengers fly without suitcaseseven when of the 13,400 million euros that entered 2024, 4,299 million come from Extras how to fly with a cabin suitcase or choose a seat.

Ryanair loaded 800,000 squares this summer at the Spanish “small” airports. Threatens to do it again

by

The Irish airline React hard to the 6.57% increase in the airport rates that AENA will apply in 2026, from 10.35 to 11.03 euros. The company requires the Government and the CNMC to reject this rise and threatens to reduce routes and seats in regional Spain if measures are not taken. A threat that is not new. This is not the first time that Ryanair uses pressure on regional airports as a negotiating weapon. During this summer, The company already executed a replication Significant: he abandoned completely Valladolid and Jerez, and reduced his operation in Vigo, Santiago, Asturias, Santander and Zaragoza. In total, has eliminated 800,000 squares In these airfields between April and October, although at the national level it has maintained its growth. Keep leading. The striking thing is that Ryanair maintains its dominant position in the Spanish market despite these strategic withdrawals. In the first half of this year, the airline transported 32.64 million passengers in Spain, 6.6% more than the previous year. This consolidates it as the company with the highest traffic volume in the country, expanding its advantage over eating to almost 10 million passengers apart. Beyond rates. Although Ryanair presents the rise in rates as the main reason for his threat, the reality is more complex. The company keeps a legal battle with the Spanish government for The record fine of 107.78 million euros imposed by its hand luggage policies. This sanction, the greatest in Spanish business history, is part of a package that also punished Vueling and Easyjet for similar practices. The strategy behind the pulse. The withdrawal in regional airports fits perfectly into the Ryanair strategy. These aerodromes depend greatly on the connectivity provided by the Irish low cost, as evidenced by the case of Valladolid, which It went from touching the 100,000 passengers In the first semester of 2024 to just 41,725 in the same period of 2025. The company knows that its withdrawal causes a disproportionate impact on regional connectivity, which gives negotiation power. The coming answer. The CNMC (National Commission of Markets and Competition) must pronounce on the tariff increase before the end of the year. Ryanair seeks to keep the freezing of fees that has been in force during the last decade, while Aena defends that his rates are internationally competitive and that he cannot make exceptions that violate the regulations. We will have to wait to know if this dispute will finally lead to a new reduction of places in the Spanish regional area.

OpenAI is already generating GDP size benefits from a small country. Follow light years of being profitable

by

Winning 12,000 million dollars a year seems somewhat prodigious for any company, but not when that company is called Openai. The evolution of income is being remarkablewithout a doubt, but both her and others – and here Anthropic is another good example – something serious happens to them: that they continue to spend more than they win. 12,000 million for OpenAi in 2025. As indicated In The Informationa new estimate that Openai’s “annualized” revenues will be 12,000 million dollars in 2025. The figure is a projection, but it is significant taking into account that in 2024 the estimated revenues were according to various sources of 3.7 billion dollars, although In Reuters They talked about the fact that they had actually reached 5.5 billion dollars. And 4,000 for Anthropic. The same media also recently indicated how the estimate in the case of one of its great rivals, Anthropic, has also risen and now It is 4,000 million dollars. Just two months ago that figure had already been checked and was 3,000 million, which means one thing: both are growing in number of subscribers. 700 million “Chatgpteros”. Another of the data to which the information article points out refers to the number of weekly active users. According to their data, 700 million people use chatgpt at some point in the week, which marks a unique milestone for the company. It is true that the vast majority of them are users of the free version, but that base is what allows part of those who use the service for free They end up pointing out to any of the chatgpt subscription plans. Income growth is being unusual in OpenAi and Anthropic, but both companies are spending absolute fortunes to end up being profitable. Source: Reddit. It will win 12,000 million, how much will it spend? In Reuters indicate that the internal estimates of the company also point to higher expenses. According to those projections, OpenAI will spend 8,000 million dollars, but that figure is dentra on direct operational expenses. There are many more associated expenses – investments, infrastructure, other financial obligations – and that makes OpenAi not profitable for now. We do not have estimated spending data for Anthropic, but it has an identical problem: Spend more than you earn. Spectacular, but. Although this growth in income is certainly extraordinary, it must be taken into account that to achieve this, these companies carry “Burning money” for years. The investment rounds that Anthropic and especially OpenAi have captured have allowed them to have a lot of room for maneuver to lose huge amounts of money without that at the moment that worries too much. And they will continue to spend as possess. Especially in the case of Openai, which thanks to SoftBank support It has great plans that will make it necessary to spend true fortunes. They have done it to Buy the Jony Ive design study for 6,500 million dollars, but above all they will do it with the project Stargatewhich still seems like very difficult to complete. But no profitability until 2029. Those responsible for OpenAi do not seem too worried, and we knew what the company’s financial road map was known weeks. They will continue losing money until 2029when supposedly – all is a free estimate, not a promise – will earn 100,000 million dollars. It will be then when the company will begin to be really profitable, but again, All this is a promise (or maybe a hope). It could not perfectly be fulfilled … and even ending up falling short.

A small town in Holland has the solution to mass tourism: to fool Google Maps

by

Mass tourism has unable consequences for residents. Recently we talked about the Avalanche of tourists who go to the lavender fields in Brihuega. In the Parkbuurt neighborhood, located in a small coastal town in Holland, they also have problems with tourism. Specifically because, in the most influx days, it is impossible for them to park. The neighbors have got to work to solve it with a very ingenious method. Fed up neighbors. Parking in Parkbuurt was not a problem until tourists arrived.
