Editoryal: Nainsulto

April 28, 2021

DUNAY mga Sugboanon nga nasagmuyo sa pamahayag ni Senador Bong Go kalabot ni Lapulapu. Duna kunoy pagtuon nga nagsubay sa kagikan ni Lapulapu, kinsa giingong gikan sa Sulu. Gisugo kuno si Lapulapu sa sultan sa paglibot sa mga isla nga iyang ginsakpan, apil na ang Mactan, kon nganong dunay mga langyaw nga nangabot.

Tinuod, wa kaayoy record kalabot sa kinabuhi ni Lapulapu. Ang labing klarong tinubdan mao lang ang sinuwat ni Antonio Pigafetta, nagsuwat sa biyahe ni Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan. Lahi sa ubang mga bayani, pangitaon kaayo ang estorya sa kinabuhi ni Lapulapu.

Si Ang maoy mipuli ni Danding Cojuangco isip presidente ug chairman sa San Miguel Corporation.

Unsa? Dili mag-apil-apil ang mga negosyante sa eleksiyon bisan sa pagsuporta og mga kandidato? Aber, kinsa man ang numero unong campaign fund contributors panahon sa eleksiyon? Ang mga negosyante. Asa ...

Barrita: Bakuna himuong mandatory?

April 28, 2021

NAGLABI sa mga Pilipino ang nagduha-duha nga magpabakuna batok sa Covid-19. Sa survey sa Pulse Asia gikan sa Pebrero ngadto Marso ning tuiga, 61 porsyento sa mga respondent nitubag og "no" sa pangutana kon magpabakuna ba sila. Sa ato pa, 39 porsyento ray gustong magpabakuna.

Mao ni vaccine hesitancy. Naa pa ang kahadlok sa mga tawo sa injection. Sama sa babaye'ng mihangyo sa doktor nga sa lubot lang siya magpa-injection kay mahadlok siyang makakita sa dagum. Sa pag-injection na gyud, nireklamo ang babaye, "Dok, di na man na lubot, Dok." Tubag sa doktor, "Sigi lang. Di na man sab ...

Cracking the case for solid state batteries

April 28, 2021

Scientists in the UK used the latest imaging techniques to visualize and understand the process of dendrite formation and electrolyte cracking in an all solid-state battery.

Among the many different routes pursued by researchers to improve on today's battery energy storage technologies, solid-state batteriescould be the most promising. And many in the industry are optimistic that the approach will eventually bring about a "step change" in battery ...
