China has a key technology to create a more effective antimisile shield than the iron dome: a beetle

by

During the recent one Conflict between Israel and Iran There was a lot of talked about the powerful Israeli antimile defense system, known as the ‘Iron dome’. Europe too wants to build yours and United States shuffled the creation of a ‘golden dome’ that would use a satellite network and would be able to Stop hypersonic missiles. And what about China? Although they have Several antimile systems At different levels, they do not have a “total” shield like the one who wants to build the United States. What they do is a technology that, if applied, would far exceed the detection of missiles from other countries. A beetle. This kind of beetles receives that name for its ability to detect fire up to 80 kilometers away Thanks to an organ in its most sensitive exoskeleton than most infrared sensors in the market. This has been the inspiration of these Chinese researchers for their new creation: a system that mimics this same sensitivity and allows you to detect hot objects quickly and precisely. The system. During the investigation, Posted in Nature magazinethe scientists carried out several tests to verify the effectiveness of the system. In the first they built an ‘heteroestructure’ with divel -divelur, a material that offers a high absorption of the middle infrared range, and pentacene, an organic semiconductor. The device could detect radiation to an intensity of only 0.5 millivats per square centimeter, a sensitivity close to that of the beetle. In the second test they used black phosphorus and Indian seleniuro, achieving a photonic memory of 0.5 microseconds, 20,000 times faster than conventional optical storage. Capacities. Researchers affirm that this technology is able to “detect and identify objects in difficult environments, since it can penetrate obstacles such as smoke, fog and dust, providing clear images and precise detection of objectives.” In addition, it works at room temperature without refrigeration. This technology could be used in various scenarios: fire detection, autonomous driving, night vision systems and of course military environments. Antimisiles. As we said, China does not have an “dome” antimile system, but this technology could open the door to the creation of one that, According to South China Morning Postit would be much more precise than the ‘Golden Dome’ that Donald Trump wants to build. The key point is that the system integrates detection, memory and processing functions. Current antimisile systems are based on traditional silicon semiconductors and hardware separation (sensors and processors) prevents them from reaching those response speeds. Nothing concrete. Donald Trump’s ‘golden dome’ is, for now, a proposal that has not yet materialized, just like this hypothetical Chinese dome. What we do know is that China did not make any grace The announcement of this project because “it would raise the risk of converting space into a war zone and creating a career for creating space weapons.” Currently, China has several antimile defense layers: Dong Neng-3an exoatmospheric missile interception system, HQ-19 for medium-range interception and HQ-29 with antisatelite capabilities.

The US prepares to bomb the border of Mexico with sterile flies. It will not use genetic engineering, but 1950 technology

by

The United States wants to stop the Cochliomyia hominivorax, A fly that when it is in the larval phase causes a parasitic disease that mainly affects cattle (although it can also affect humans). A few days ago we talked about the plan to end her: launch millions of sterile flies to stop their expansion. The funny thing is that they are not going to do it using Genomic editionbut for this they will use a technology ago. X -rays and planes. The objective of this initiative is to stop the expansion of this plague and for this what they are going to do is sterilize millions of flies. As? With A technology that has been using since the 70s To combat this plague: X -rays. After raising the larvae and that they transform into pupae, they are placed inside a metal cylinder that is introduced into a gamma irradiation chamber with a dose of between 40 and 65 gray, enough to reach 95% sterility without compromising their survival. The container (left) that is introduced into the irradiation chamber (right). Fountain Once sterilized, you have to reach the affected areas, in this case the southern Texas and Mexico. To ensure that they arrive in the appropriate phase, the pupae remain at 10 degrees so that their metamorphosis to adults slows down. They are released from airplanes and, when the temperature rises, sterile males emerge. Why not transgenic flies? Sterilization of insects by radiation has decades of proven efficacy. Genetic modification is potentially cheaper and efficientbut it is still in an experimental phase and is not ready for mass production. There is also the issue of regulation, more complicated in this case because it requires approvals from two countries: the United States and Mexico. The current legal framework under which sterile insects are released does not contemplate genetic modification and achieve approval I could take years and cost millions of dollars. The threat. The one known as “Cattle Barrenter” is a devastating species, especially for cattle. The females deposit their eggs in wounds and mucous animals and, when hatching, the larvae begin to feed on the meat, causing injuries that become mortal. According to the head of the American Association of Veterinary Medicine, They can kill a 450 kilos cow in two weeks. This pest affects mainly to countries in South America, but It is not the first time that the United States has to deal with it; In 1966 they already eradicated it and in 2017 there was a small outbreak in the Florida Keys. There is a hurry. Although the reduction of transgenic technique costs sounds attractive, the reality is that there is no time to lose. The boreride worm has reappeared in southern Mexico and, although it has not been detected near the border, from the United States They don’t want to take risks. In addition to the release of sterile flies, other measures will also take controls in the transfer of animals, collaborate with Mexico to improve surveillance and provide traps to catch larvae.

We thought that interstellar travelers were impossible to find current technology. Three have already been discovered

by

Less than a decade ago, the idea of ​​detecting an object of another solar system through our neighborhood was science fiction material. Astronomers were clear that they existed, but believed that our chances of detecting them They were practically null due to the limitations of current technology. In 2017, everything changed. First appeared 1i/ʻoumuamua. An object that baffled astronomers. Not only because it was the first interstellar object discovered in our solar system, but because its nature was and remains a mystery. With A strange formas elongated as a cigar or flat as an album, and a size of just 100 or 200 meters, it happened fleetingly leaving more questions than answers. Was it a comet, an asteroid or something completely new? The debate continues while moving away from us. Then 2i/Borisov was discovered. When we still wondered if we would see something similar in our lives, the answer came alone. In 2019, astronomers They detected a second object of another star system That was unequivocally a kite, somewhat larger than its predecessor (about 400-500 meters) and with a very different trajectory. Borisov confirmed that ‘Oumuamua had not been an anomaly. Interstellar visitors were real and we are able to find them. And to confirm it, 3I/Atlas arrives. On July 1, 2025, the Telescopes of the Atlas Network in Chile detected the third known interstellar object. After confirming your hyperbolic trajectory, He was officially baptized as 3i/Atlas. It is a real giant compared to the previous two, and marks a before and after in the study of these bodies. Like Borisov, it shows a clear comment activity, with a comma and a tail that lengthens as it approaches the sun. Therefore, it is a kite. But it is much bigger. Although the measurements are refining, initial estimates place their diameter between 5 and 20 kilometers. A colossal size that makes it much easier to study. A giant who will pass through Mars. 3i/Atlas is incredibly fast. It moves at an exhaust speed of about 58-60 km/s with respect to the Sun. much faster than ‘oumuamua (26 km/s) and Borisov (32 km/s). His career is also unique. It will reach its closest point to the Sun (its perihelium) on October 29, passing between the orbits of Mars and the Earth. Although at that time our planet will be on the other side of the sun, which will prevent its direct observation, it will be only 31.4 million kilometers from Mars on October 3. This opens a fascinating opportunity: that some of the probes that orbit the red planet, such as the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, can capture images of the interstellar traveler. Three important findings. Each of these objects is a time capsule from another solar system. All planets, asteroids and comets of our system share a common origin, but these visitors are authentic outsiders. They contain clues about the formation and composition of worlds that orbit other stars. Studying them is like receiving a geological sample from a corner of the galaxy that would take millennia to visit. Until now, we could only observe his fleeting step. But this is about to change. ESA is already preparing THE MISSION INTERPECTORwhose launch is scheduled for 2029. The idea is ingenious: the probe will not have a predefined objective, but will “park” at a point in Lagrange (L2) waiting for a pristine kite of a long period or, with some lucky, a new interstellar visitor to be within its reach. It would be the first rapid response mission to intercept one of these mysterious objects. In less than ten years we have not known if they existed to actively plan how to send a ship to touch them. With new generation observatories such as Vera Rubin, which is expected to find dozens of them in the next decade, we are entering a new era of astronomy. The universe sometimes brings us its secrets at home. Image | The interstellar comet 3i/Atlas (ESA) In Xataka | There is a single opportunity in 11,000 years of reaching the planet Sedna.

Football believes that a plague of injuries lives, so it has been thrown into a Spanish technology to prevent them

by

Infrared thermography applied to professional sport is gaining ground as a very useful tool for injury prevention and the optimization of the performance of the players themselves and athletes. Themohumana Spanish company specialized in this technology, has made elite teams such as Real Madrid, Atlético de Madrid or Girona, among many others, incorporate their systems into their physical preparation routines. What is this technology and how. Thermohuman is a system that combines thermographic cameras with artificial intelligence software to analyze the body temperature of athletes. Although there is a lot of chicha after its technology, the process of capturing and analysis of the data is relatively simple: a thermal chamber captures images of the player’s body, and the software uses artificial vision algorithms to automatically recognize the human figure and segment it in more than 110 different body regions. Capture process through thermal cameras. Image: Girona FC The key is in the detection of thermal asymmetries between symmetrical areas of the body. When there is a significant temperature difference between, for example, the right leg and the left can indicate the presence of a muscle overload, inflammation or the beginning of an injury. According to the firm All this analysis is completed in less than 30 seconds, generating automatic reports with advanced metrics and intelligent alerts. Precision and detail in injury prevention. Medical thermography is not a novelty, but its automation does represent an important qualitative leap. As Explain The company, the traditional thermograms analysis methods required manual processes that took some more time to professionals for analysis and decision making. Themohuman says having reduced this time to less than 20 seconds, with a reliability greater than 96%. In addition, the system is not limited to offering a snapshot of the moment: it creates a history of each athlete that allows identifying patterns and anomalies based on historical data. This means that it can detect subtle variations that could go unnoticed in a traditional physical examination. Software in which the information is processed and analyzed, with detailed patterns for each player. Image: Girona FC Real Madrid also joins this technology. Incorporating it into the first team From the hand of Ismael Fernández, CEO of Thermohuman and new member of Xabi Alonso’s coaching staff. Although the club I already used the system In your basketball team and women’s soccer team, it is now part of the Comprehensive Strategy for the Prevention of Lesions of the First Team. Xabi will integrate technology along with other systems such as drones for tactical analysis and advanced GPS technologies. This is already used in the rest of clubs. The use protocol varies according to the club, but generally includes regular measurements for both healthy players and those in the process of recovery. The Gironafor example, performs evaluations after each party and two days before the next meeting, which allows them to adjust the training loads individually. The Atlético de Madrid He was a pioneer in LaLiga in using the Themohuman method in the 2017/2018 season. And in other international examples, such as The case of Aston VillaThey use the system weekly as part of their fatigue and recovery management strategy. More companies that offer infrared thermography applied to sport. Other outstanding companies in this area are prein, with A software based on artificial intelligence To prevent injuries, and Omniathletean Italian consultant with more than two decades of experience. There are also solutions such as Thermidswhich offers portable systems to monitor sports performance. As for hardware, there are companies like Teledyne flir either Themoteknix which offer thermal cameras and infrared sensors, the technological base of thermography by infrared. Among other prominent measurement technologies we have also seen in the world of sport The GPS Potosthat a good part of the elite clubs use them to record the performance of each player at the individual level. Tech science in sport is not everything. The theoretical practical utility is in the prevention, monitoring of the recovery and management of players’ fatigue. According to Atlético de Madrid, in 2018 the use of its thermographic protocol registered 70 % less muscle injuries (from 15 to 6) and Thermuman endorse in your studies A 90 % reduction on low days. These types of technologies are very valuable in modern football, where the burden of matches and training can lead players to the limit of their physical abilities. However, although they have greatly helped physical trainers, there are few voices of experts who talk about Increased injuries. Edu Pons, Physical Exparter in different categories of Barça and now professor and researcher at INEFC Lleida, I commented for example that the bibs are increasing injuries because “there is more and more intensity and density.” “Yes it is true that it can help you train or value the load better, but I am not in favor of stating that it is the panacea.” “They also help good recovery methods after a party or training, as well as a good prevention work.” And it is that in a world with more monitoring than ever, injuries are still very frequent, so technology must also be accompanied by good physical preparation.

This 125 cc scooter comes loaded with technology and with a brutal value ratio

by

Valencian Wottan has an interesting new 125 cubic motorcycle in the market: the Wottan Sixteen. It is a compact scooter with a marked urban character that stands out, among other things, for its supply of technology and for something that does not usually see itself and that gives its name to the vehicle: the 16 -inch front wheel. Although we are going to know it better immediately, it should be noted that Wottan Sixteen has a price of 2,690 euros, a significantly lower figure than direct competition of brands such as Kymco, Honda or Piaggio. It should also be remembered that Wottan does not manufacture their vehicles, but that the Models of China imports Taro Moto. For example, the Storm-R, one of its most popular models, is really a TARO TR300T.

According to the company, its consumption is 2.5 liters at 100 km, it has liquid cooling and automatic ignition and off technology. This is evidently designed to reduce consumption. The most striking is your 16 -inch front wheel. As a general rule, in scooters we usually find wheels between 10 and 14 inches. With them we win in space, but we lose something in stability and braking. The high wheels, such as the one that they occupy us today, sacrifice some space in exchange for a more stable, softer and, therefore, perhaps more interesting driving for urban paths. Image | Wottan Image | Wottan As for dimensions, we are facing a motorcycle of about two meters (1.97 meters, to be exact), a height of 76 centimeters, seat at 79 centimeters and a wheelbase of 1.37 meters. It is also convenient to take into account its weight of 142 kilos, that is, we are not facing the lighter 125cc in the market, much less. Image | Wottan And what equipment does this Wootan Sixteen bring standard? Well, it is really well served. Mount a seven -inch TFT screen with bluetooth connectivity, front USB, keyless system, ABS and TCS traction control, glove compartment, centralized opening, silent start, double rear handle, adjustable dome, in short, that is not bad. And the headlights, by the way, are full LED. Versions and price of the Wottan Sixteen Image | Wottan The Wootan Sixteen It is available in gray and black and its price starts from 2,690 euros. It is a very competitive and significantly lower price than the proposals for its competition. Images | Wottan
