Tenemos una larga historia de decepciones con nuestras descripciones del mundo (de los hechos, los valores, los comportamientos, las expectativas) porque creemos que debemos binaria o ternariamente elegir siempre una opción en detrimento de las otras. Cuando en realidad de lo que se trata es de aceptar -y operar- en el mundo de contradicciones en el que nos ha tocado vivir y que seguirá complejizándose crecientemente.
¿El mejor o el peor de los tiempos científico-tecnologicos?
With the Future Homes Standard legislation coming into force in 2025, the UK heat pump market continues to see year on year growth. To support this demand, Vaillant has unveiled its new multi-million-pound heat pump production line at its headquarters in Belper, Derbyshire; making it the first manufacturer to produce both heat pumps and high-efficiency boilers in the UK.
Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) are a promising, economical, next-generation solar cell technology for scalable clean energy and wearable electronics. But the energy conversion loss due to the recombination of photogenerated charge carriers in OPVs has hindered further enhancement of their power conversion efficiency (PCE). Recently, researchers from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) overcame this obstacle by inventing a novel device-engineering strategy to successfully suppress the energy conversion loss, resulting in record-breaking efficiency.
Leading aerospace composite material kits supplier, Velocity Composites has announced its entry into the US aerospace market with the signing of an agreement with GKN Aerospace expected to be worth more than $100 million of revenue over five years.
To support the expansion into international markets, Velocity Composites also announces the development of its first site outside of the UK, a 40,000ft2 advanced manufacturing facility near to the GKN site in Alabama.
Airbus and ArianeGroup, a joint venture equally owned by Airbus and Safran, and a world leader in space propulsion technologies, will work together to build the first liquid hydrogen refuelling facility for ZEROe aircraft at Toulouse, Blagnac airport. The station will be operational in 2025.
ArianeGroup will design, produce and support the operations of the liquid hydrogen fuelling system necessary for Airbus' ZEROe demonstrator as it embarks on its ground and flight test campaign - due to start in the middle of this decade.
EVE Energy, one of the world’s leading battery technology companies, recently inaugurated a CNY2 billion research and development center in Huizhou, Guangdong province, after 16 months of construction.
Dormitorio, gimnasio, cine, oficina… Con un entorno exterior invadido por mascarillas y distancias de seguridad, las paredes de los hogares españoles –y de más de medio mundo– pasaron en apenas unos días de albergar el descanso familiar a convertirse en microciudades en las que desarrollar todos los aspectos de la vida. Espacios multifunción en los que las tecnologías digitales cosieron lo laboral y lo personal en una rutina casi monocromática.
El trabajo es una parte indiscutible de nuestras vidas, pero no de forma exclusiva: es también esencial en la existencia de otros seres vivos como animales, plantas o incluso organismos unicelulares. Vivir implica, necesariamente, realizar diferentes labores que aseguren la subsistencia y, a la vez, faciliten un modo de estar en el mundo diferenciado en la naturaleza de cada propio ser.
El epigrafista Manuel Gómez-Moreno descifró a medidos del siglo XX la escritura de los pueblos de Hispania, lo que permite leer inscripciones como el reciente hallazgo de la Mano de Irulegi
