« Aucun répit en vue » : le service de renseignement allemand alerte sur la menace russe avant les élections régionales de 2026
Premier soutien européen à l’Ukraine et cœur de l’Otan, l’Allemagne craint davantage d’ingérences de Moscou l’année prochaine. Elles pourraient affecter « tous les secteurs de la société », a prévenu le chef du renseignement intérieur ce lundi.

A breakthrough for solar durability: UNSW researchers discovered that thicker aluminum oxide layers protect TOPCon solar cells from UV damage by blocking hydrogen migration.
The culprit? High-energy UV photons break chemical bonds, releasing hydrogen that degrades performance. But 7nm AlOx layers act as an effective barrier.

Thicker alumunium oxide layers can reduce ultraviolet-induced degradation in TOPCon solar cells
UNSW researchers developed an experimentally validated model linking UV-induced degradation in TOPCon solar cells to hydrogen transport, charge trapping, and permanent structural changes in the passivation stack. They show that thicker aluminum oxide layers significantly improve UV resilience by limiting hydrogen migration, offering clear guidance for more robust TOPCon designs.

I was wondering about that. Fingers pointing you know where re the huge power outage in Berlin, and the original claims re a leftwing group are being discounted

Coupure d'électricité à Berlin : le parquet allemand enquête pour "terrorisme" et "sabotage"
Samedi, un incendie de câbles sur une installation électrique a été revendiqué en ligne par un groupe d'extrême gauche baptisé "Vulkangruppe". Mais les autorités analysent encore l'authenticité de cette revendication.

Recently picked up a "ceramic" coated frying pan for the first time and wondering what it's actually made of and how it's put on.
From the color I'm guessing alumina or maybe silica is likely? Sintered powder coating then firing? My first inclination for putting such a layer on something would be CVD but that's probably too expensive for the thicknesses and production volumes in question, but I feel like a sintered powder layer would be too porous.

Please, please, please let's be clear about the use or lack of use of cyber to cut off power in Venezuela. I began researching this possibility the second Trump finished his press conference, in which he referenced that the US has "expertise" to cut off power, which most people immediately concluded was cyber.
At this point, I've spoken to a bunch of ICS cyber experts. Given that the Venezuelan government claims the power outage was caused by the destruction of two su…
