Foxconn’s six manufacturing sites in Vietnam won’t be assembling iPhones and iPads this weekend — or anything else, for that matter.
The Taiwan-based electronics supplier, which manufactures gadgets for Apple, Microsoft, Cisco, and others, is suspending operations in Vietnam for at least three days due to violent anti-China protests, reports the Financial Times.
China’s contentious oil drilling near the Paracel Islands spurred the protests in Vietnam. China controls the chain of islands in the South China Sea, but Vietnam and Taiwan have also claimed them as their own.
Si la voiture électrique (EV : Electric Vehicle) n'a pas su s'imposer en 2000 avec EV1, 2015 sera peut-être son année. Les EVs présentent de nombreux avantages et des politiques de soutien sont en place aux Etats-Unis. Toutefois, le prix croissant de l'énergie et la question du financement des infrastructures pourraient les fragiliser.
La jornada ha sido organizada por un grupo de alumnos del grado LEINN bajo la cooperativa Login Lan y Arizmendiarrietaren Lagunak Elkartea. Dirigida a universitarios y empresas, tiene como objetivo reflexionar sobre los valores cooperativos, la motivación y el liderazgo en la sociedad actual.
Arizmendiarrietaren Lagunak elkarteak bultzatuta ekintzailetasunaz eta kooperatibismoaz jardun dute Garaia berrikuntza gunean egin den Aktion jardunaldian. Besteak beste, Mondragon eta Goiener kooperatika taldetako kideak; eta Igor Urien eta Axi Muniain kirolariek hartu dute parte.
Ekintzailetasuna sustatu, belaunaldi arteko transmisioa bultzatu eta elkarlana ereiteko asmoz egin dute gaur Aktion! jardunaldia. Arizmendiarrietaren Lagunak elkarteak eta Login Lan junior kooperatibak bultzatuta, ekintzailetasun eta kooperatibismoaren inguruko esperientzia desberdinak entzuteko aukera izan da Garaia Berrikuntza Guneko Living Lab aretoan.
An extensive article about Co-Society and our vision on Collaborative Innovation is part of main and cover topic on the latest issue of Harvard Deusto, the Spanish edition of the prestigious Harvard Business Review magazine. We have translated and edit an English version of the article that you can download as a PDF file.
Learn about the advantage of collaborative innovation and why we think it might help generate the employment that the economy will need to create over the next few decades.
Des scientifiques de la Nanyang Technological University (NTU) [1] ont développé une nouvelle génération de matériau photovoltaïque qui, en plus de transformer la lumière en électricité, peut aussi émettre de la lumière. Cela a été développé à partir de pérovskite, un matériau très prometteur pour le développement de panneaux solaires ayant une grande efficacité et un coût très réduit [2]. Ces nouvelles cellules photovoltaïques peuvent briller lorsque de l'électricité les traverse mais elles peuvent également être modifiées pour émettre différentes couleurs.
Corn farmers in the verdant plains of southwestern France have responded to dwindling water resources by adopting drip irrigation — a money-saving technique invented in the 1960s in Israel.
Initially adopted in water-poor regions including the vineyards and orchards of southern France, the method has begun appearing in big agriculture further north in the past three years.
Tension over water use is emerging in the southwest where corn is a major crop, warns agronomist Marc Dufumier, author of a book seeking to dispel dubious conventional wisdom on farming and food.
In the search for better electric-car batteries, lots of lab research has to happen before anything can be announced.
Today, a company called Power Japan Plus came out of stealth mode to unveil a new battery chemistry, with both electrodes–anode and cathode–made of carbon.
The new cell, known as the Ryden Dual-Carbon Battery, promises energy density equal to today’s lithium-ion cells, but with less capacity loss over time and far greater safety.
