A ⁣Breakthrough in Energy Storage ​Technology

A groundbreaking material structure ⁣has the potential to transform energy storage capabilities, particularly in the realm of electric​ vehicles and electronic devices, according to ⁢scientists.

Capacitors created from innovative “heterostructures” exhibit a unique property that prolongs the retention of energy without compromising their rapid charging ability, a recent study reveals.

Enhancing Battery Life and Grid-Scale ​Energy Storage

This unexpected discovery, stemming from advancements‍ in electronics, lays the groundwork for enhanced battery longevity in consumer electronics like laptops and smartphones, as well as increased‌ flexibility in large-scale energy storage systems. The findings ‌were detailed in a recent publication⁤ in the journal‌ Science.

While traditional batteries excel⁤ in long-term energy ‍storage, they‌ fall short in terms of⁢ charging and discharging speed. This is where capacitors play a crucial role by storing electricity in an electric field, allowing for quick an

The National Anticorruption Directorate (DNA) on Wednesday sued Teodosie Petrescu, archbishop of Tomis, for committing the crime of buying influence. The file was opened last year by the DNA following a Recorder investigation. Along with Teodosie, a councilor from the Archdiocese of Tomis, Ilie Petre, was also sent to court.

At the time of the opening of the criminal case, the Romanian Patriarchate, through its spokesperson Vasile Bănescu, stated that both judicial and church authorities are interested in elucidating any case of real corruption, and combating this societal scourge is primarily a moral duty.

“Judicial authorities, like church authorities, are naturally interested in elucidating any case of real corruption. Sanctioning and combating this societal scourge, which can also affect the Church, is primarily a moral duty. One whose fulfillment honors and whose non-fulfillment dishonours. Civil law and moral law are given to be respected for the good of the community, including ecclesiastical ones,” the Patriarchate said.

According to DNA prosecutors, in July 2023, “the suspect Petrescu Teodosie, in the capacity mentioned above, allegedly promised the su

The post-pandemic return of mega-concerts, launched by Beyoncé and Taylor Swift in 2023, has put the spotlight back on the lucrative links between brands and pop stars through their stage costumes, duly recorded by magazines and specialized blogs. and social networks.

But “relations between stars and couture have almost always existed,” reminds AFP Delphine Pinasa, director of the French Center for Stage Costumes.

Before Madonna and her conical breasts designed by Jean Paul Gaultier in 1990, there was the theater actress Sarah Bernhardt, the first international “star” at the end of the 19th century, or the stars of the music hall in the interwar period , like Josephine Baker.

Delphine Pinasa identifies an acceleration since the 1960s, the rise of pop, with figures like Elvis Presley or the yéyés in France, the emergence of ready-to-wear and the democratization of television.

For singers, “clothes or accessories are a way of making themselves known and recognized,” explains the specialist, citing Edith Piaf’s little black dress or Elton John’s fanciful glasses. For some, like Lady Gaga, “there is also a story told through the costumes”.

«Exposition»

On the brand side, we are aiming for the “fashion phenomenon”.

An example of tremendous prescribing ability, sales of mirrored or rhinestone cowboy hats, like the one worn by Beyoncé for her “Renaissance” tour, increased by 1,601% in the United States and several countries around the world. Western Europe in August 2023, according to the Klarna online payment solution.

The same month, Launchmetrics, a technology company specializing in data, estimated the media impact at $7.7 million for Alexander McQueen for dressing “Queen B” on stage and at $6.3 million for Versace thanks to Taylor Swift. .

The brands contacted by AFP did not give details of these partnerships but some of those who have worked with Beyoncé spoke to Vogue Business in December.

A dress by designer David Koma was “sold out” in one day on his website after the star wore a similar model. And Koma saw her Instagram followers increase by 53% in the month following her first concert.

The Dsquared2 brand also benefited from this gain in notoriety. “For us, the goal is not really sales but the image and exposure that comes from being associated with a major artist,” explained designers Dean and Dan Caten.

“Code messages”

During her “Eras Tour”, Taylor Swift multiplies the costumes (13 on average): ball gowns for her country debut, sequined ensembles for her pop productions or vaporous dresses for her forays into folk.

“For this tour, she collaborated with Cavalli, Louboutin, Versace… brands with an established reputation which have demonstrated their ability to meet the requirements of dressing her for concerts”, lists Glenys Johnson, author of “Taylor Swift , the story of a fashion icon” (Place des Victoires editions).

However, “luxury brands have not always been interested because Taylor presents herself as very down-to-earth, unlike Beyoncé or Lady Gaga who position themselves as high-end and visually creative,” recalls Satu Hämeenaho-Fox, author of “Into the Taylor-Verse, at the heart of the Taylor Swift universe” (Gallimard Jeunesse).

“But with its extreme reputation (more than 500 million subscribers on all social networks combined, Editor’s note), it has become a sort of classy institution, without being too daring, with which any brand would benefit from associating itself.”

Especially since her outfits are dissected by her fans, because the singer sprinkles them with “coded messages”. “There are often several layers of subtext, especially in the choice of colors, which blogs and social networks are excellent at identifying,” explains Satu Hämeenaho-Fox.

Before the start of her European tour, Taylor Swift released the album “The Tortured Poets Department” with a Victorian gothic aesthetic. “How is she going to present it on stage?” asks Glenys Johnson.

In her latest clip, the singer wears an outfit by American Elena Velez, who claims to offend certain “sensitivities” with her “post-woke” fashion. Her fans are “impatient to see if this means Taylor evolves into a more controversial figure,” continues Glenys Johnson. Her album is about wanting to go beyond what people expect of her, with her good girl image…”.
