Pebble returns in 2025. The simplest smart watch on the market will return to its roots

by

The founder of Pebble, Eric Migicovsky, has announced The return of one of the most influential smart watches in history. A decade after cementing the market, it returns with a similar vision – but not the same – to the original: do the right thing, but do it well … and sustainably as a company. Why is it important. In a market dominated by the Apple Watch and other increasingly complex and complete watches, focused on health and sports, Pebble proposes to return to its roots: A screen e-paper Always active, a week of autonomy and physical buttons instead of touch screen. Without much more. Between bambalins. Google, current owner of the brand after the purchase of Fitbit, who in turn was the one who bought what was left of Pebble in 2016, has decided to release the source code of Pebbleos. That allows Migicovsky to create a “spiritual clone” of the original clock under another brand. Original Pebble. Image: Pebble. The new device will maintain the essence of Pebble: notifications, music control, alarms, time, calendar and basic monitoring of activity. No electrocardiograms or blood oxygen measurement. Against the complexity of the watches of the present. The device still has no name. Migicovsky has only announced one domain: Repebble.com. Yes, but. The big difference is in the business model. Migicovsky will finance the project personally, without external investors or Kickstarter campaigns, thanks to the businesses he has done since he left Pebble. “The keyword is’ sustainable,” he said about it. One of Pebble’s mistakes ten years ago was growing in excess. When the skinny cows arrived, the cost structure was unassumable. Deepen. The market of Wearable It has changed a lot since 2012, but there is an active community of Pebble users that keep the original devices alive: Rebble. The question is whether this minimalist approach can find its hole in 2025, when the industry is committed to complexity and advanced functions. The new Pebble points to a specific user niche, not to a massive presence. In fact there are the shots of the sustainability that Migicovsky poses.

the first plasma produced by the SMART reactor invites us to optimism

by

We have news of the experimental reactor of nuclear fusion from the University of Seville. Very good news. The SMART Tokamak plan aims to develop a type reactor tokamak extraordinarily compact. In fact, the acronym SMART comes from the English name ‘SMall Aspect Ratio Tokamak’. Building a compact fusion energy reactor is not easy. In fact, ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor), the experimental fusion reactor that an international consortium led by Europe is building in the French town of Cadarache, is gigantic for several good reasons. The most relevant is that a large vacuum chamber together with high intensity magnetic fields allow the plasma to be stabilized more effectively. And the other advantage is that This design minimizes energy loss. The SMART experimental fusion reactor that the engineers at the University of Seville are working on does not have the titanic size that ITER will have in its favor, but this does not mean that it will not come to fruition. In fact, its strategy is radically different from that of ITER and its design is surprisingly innovative. In any case, the development of SMART is being carried out within the international initiative Fusion2Gridso Seville researchers are not alone in this adventure. They work side by side with scientists from the Plasma Physics Laboratory at Princeton University (USA). SMART has generated the first plasma with negative triangularity The vacuum chamber in which the fusion of the deuterium and tritium nuclei, the two isotopes of hydrogen involved in the fusion reaction, occurs does not need to be as large in the SMART reactor as in ITER or other experimental fusion machines because because it has negative triangularity in its favor. Broadly speaking, triangularity identifies the geometry of the plasma within the tokamak by being confined inside the magnetic field. SMART’s negative triangularity causes the plasma cross section to compress toward the center By adopting positive triangularity, which is common in experimental fusion reactors of the type tokamakthe widest part of the triangular section of the plasma is outside the center of the vacuum chamber. This geometry is very well known, and it works, although it is not optimal to control plasma turbulence. In contrast, SMART’s negative triangularity causes the plasma cross section to compress toward the center, so the widest part faces the inside of the vacuum chamber. Negative triangularity has two major advantages. On the one hand, it is very effective in controlling plasma instabilities. And, in addition, it helps to distribute the heat at the base of the reactor in a more homogeneous way. Its biggest problem is that this technology is still young and requires much more research. Fortunately, researchers at the University of Seville are on the right track. On a very good path. And they have already done the first plasma testa milestone that marks the beginning of the experimental phase of the SMART reactor. “We were all very excited to see the first magnetically confined plasma, and we look forward to harnessing the capabilities of the SMART reactor together with the international scientific community (…) SMART has attracted enormous interest around the world“, Eleonora Viezzer has declaredphysicist and professor at the University of Seville. The initial investment in this project has been slightly more than five million eurosbut over its estimated 10 years of development it will presumably require a total investment of about 500 million euros.
