Η 10η σεζόν είναι αφιερωμένη στις πιο βαθιές ιδέες της κβαντικής φυσικής.UNESCO: International Year of Quantum Science and TechnologyΣε αυτό το επεισόδιο συνεχίζουμε το ταξίδι προς τα πίσω στον χρόνο και εξετάζουμε μία από τις πιο θεμελιώδεις ιδέες της κβαντομηχανικής: τις ανισότητες Bell. Ξεκινάμε από τη φιλοσοφική διαφωνία του Αϊνστάιν με την “επίσημη” ερμηνεία της Κοπεγχάγης, φτάνουμε στην πρόταση του Τζον Μπελ για ένα πείραμα που θα ξεκαθάριζε την κατάσταση, και καταλήγουμε στα πειράματα που κέρδισαν το Νόμπελ Φυσικής 2022.Special! - Νόμπελ Φυσικής 2022 (Ανισότητες Bell)Γιατί ο Αϊνστάιν θεωρούσε ότι η κβαντομηχανική δεν είναι πλήρης;Τι είναι το παράδοξο EPR και τι σημαίνει “spooky action at a distance”;Ποια είναι η ιδέα των κρυφών μεταβλητών;Τι πρότεινε ο John Bell και γιατί η ιδέα του άλλαξε την πορεία της φυσικής;Πώς έγιναν τα πειράματα που επιβεβαίωσαν τις προβλέψεις της κβαντικής φυσικής;Τι σημαίνει στην πράξη η μη-τοπικότητα και πώς (δεν) παραβιάζει τη σχετικότητα;

On this week's show we look at a technology that could end HDMI. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: Sony steps away from 8K TVs – for now Survey: Share of Homes With TV Antennas Falls to 19% DIRECTV unites streaming options under one name and price structure Peacock highlights cool features for mobile users Other: AUBESS Tuya WiFi 16A Mini Smart Switch Is GPMI the beginning of the end of HDMI?  Over 50 Chinese companies including Hisense and TCL have joined forces to back an HDMI alternative called GPMI (General Purpose Media Interface). This new wired communication standard is designed to integrate multiple functionalities into a single cable, aiming to rival HDMI, DisplayPort, and Thunderbolt. The following are some key features: High Bandwidth for Data Transmission - GPMI Type-B: Supports up to 192 Gbps bandwidth, significantly surpassing HDMI 2.1 (48 Gbps), HDMI 2.2 (96 Gbps), DisplayPort 2.1 (80 Gbps), and Thunderbolt 4 (40 Gbps). GPMI Type-C: Offers up to 96 Gbps, compatible with USB-C ports, doubling the 40 Gbps limit of USB4 with Extended Power Range (EPR) under USB PD 3.1. Enables ultra-high-definition video - including 8K at 120Hz or higher, suitable for next-generation displays, gaming, and professional applications. Power Delivery GPMI Type-B: Delivers up to 480W of power, far exceeding Thunderbolt 4 (100W) and USB4 (240W with EPR). GPMI Type-C: Provides up to 240W, matching USB4 EPR capabilities. This eliminates the need for separate power cables -  simplifying setups for devices like TVs, monitors, and gaming laptops. All-in-One Cable Solution - Combines video, audio, data transfer, network connectivity, and power delivery into a single cable, reducing cable clutter. Supports bidirectional data transfer - allowing devices to send and receive data simultaneously. Compatibility and Connectivity - GPMI Type-C: Licensed by the USB Implementers Forum ensuring compatibility with existing USB-C ecosystems for smartphones, PCs, and TVs. GPMI Type-B: Uses a proprietary connector, which may face adoption challenges unless widely licensed. Backward-compatible with USB-C and DisplayPort standards - easing transitions without requiring immediate hardware replacements. Universal Control and Device Management - Supports a universal control standard similar to HDMI-CEC, allowing a single remote to control multiple GPMI-connected devices  Security Features - Integrates the ADCP (Advanced Digital Content Protection) protocol for secure content transmission. Supports daisy-chaining -  similar to DisplayPort, for connecting multiple devices in series. Limitations and Notes While GPMI supports 8K video, HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.1 can handle higher resolutions (10K and 16K, respectively), though without power delivery. Adoption is currently limited to Chinese companies (e.g., Huawei, Hisense, TCL), and global traction depends on integration into mainstream devices and compatibility with non-Chinese brands like Sony, Intel, or NVIDIA. The proprietary Type-B connector may face adoption hurdles compared to the USB-C-based Type-C variant. Commercialization is planned for Q1 2025, with consumer products expected by early 2026. GPMI's combination of high bandwidth, power delivery, and multifunctionality positions it as a potential game-changer, particularly for 8K content and simplified connectivity, though its success hinges on widespread adoption and global market acceptance.

For this episode, we hoped to welcome Brian Bastien of Product Care Recycling to discuss Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Programs and their impact on the lighting industry. The President of NAILD reached out—non-profit to non-profit—to open a conversation about how these programs support sustainability and what they mean for lighting distributors.  Surprisingly, every expert we invited declined the opportunity to join us. That's a first for us, as the lighting industry has always been generous with its time. Mr. Bastien was the only one to formally respond, mailing a letter to the President of NAILD stating that his schedule was completely full—now and in the future—due to the demands of EPR.  We certainly understand that time is valuable, especially when overseeing such a critical initiative. That said, lighting distributors are a key stakeholder group, and Get a Grip on Lighting is proud to serve as the official podcast of NAILD—North America's only trade association dedicated exclusively to lighting distributors. Given that the industry contributes significant funding to Product Care Recycling, we believe it would be beneficial to have an open discussion about the role and value of EPR in lighting.  So, while this episode won't feature Mr. Bastien, we're still diving into the topic. Our goal is simple: to better understand EPR, its benefits, and its challenges. We sincerely hope to have the opportunity to speak with Mr. Bastien—or another representative from Product Care Recycling—at some point in the future.  We think a 30–45 minute conversation would go a long way in helping everyone gain clarity on this important issue.

Le président français, Emmanuel Macron a réuni un Conseil de politique nucléaire afin d'envisager et surtout de préparer les années à venir à ce sujet. Car cet enjeu stratégique est aussi financier. Décryptage. C'est un marché qui pèse lourd même si c'est vrai qu'il est très difficile d'estimer un montant. Mais en tout état de cause, le marché français du nucléaire est estimé à plusieurs dizaines de milliards d'euros par an. Juste un indicateur pour vous faire une idée, l'an passé, EDF, qui produit et qui fournit l'électricité en France a dépensé à peu près cinq milliards d'euros uniquement pour la maintenance et l'exploitation de ses 18 centrales nucléaires dans le pays. Ce n'est qu'un indicateur mais il permet de comprendre l'importance de ce secteur qui est en mutation.  Regarder vers l'avenir D'un côté, le parc nucléaire tricolore vieillit, les premiers réacteurs ont aujourd'hui plus de quarante ans. L'idée est donc de prolonger leur durée de vie, ce qui nécessite des mises à niveau coûteuses, environ 50 milliards d'euros d'ici 2030 selon EDF. Et puis de l'autre côté, des réacteurs nouvelles générations sont développés et mis en service, les EPR. La première version de ces réacteurs, à Flamanville, dans le nord-ouest de la France, a été connecté au réseau électrique à la fin de l'année dernière. Mais ce projet a rencontré bon nombre de soucis, douze ans de retard sur les travaux et surtout, ça a coûté sept fois plus que l'estimation prévue en 2006 avant le début du chantier.  Des coûts très élevés Construire des installations nucléaires coûte cher comme on vient de le démontrer. Et ce sujet était d'ailleurs à l'ordre du jour hier, de la réunion présidée par le chef de l'État. Car une nouvelle version des EPR est à l'étude, les EPR 2. Emmanuel Macron vise une première mise en service d'ici 2038 au lieu de 2035. Un retard sur l'agenda en raison du prix de construction de telles structures. Parce que comme pour les EPR première génération, la facture s'envole. En 2022, le coût du programme était initialement évalué à 51,7 milliards d'euros. Il l'est à 67,4 milliards d'euros aujourd'hui. Cette facture pourrait atteindre les 100 milliards si on compte les frais financiers, soit le double de l'estimation initiale. Où trouver l'argent? On le rappelle, la France est limitée dans son déficit public qui est déjà au-dessus de 6% de son PIB donc difficile de trouver des fonds et EDF est fortement endettée, près de 65 milliards d'euros en 2023. Et on l'a dit le groupe doit mobiliser d'importants financements pour moderniser le parc existant. Il y a donc un enjeu important pour la France, mais aussi pour l'Europe, cela parce que le retour en grâce de l'atome est un investissement qui a un coût. Un coût qui permet de produire une électricité décarbonée, plutôt bon marché et surtout disponible à tout moment. Ces capacités de production permettent à la France d'exporter de l'électricité vers ses voisins européens. Et cette souveraineté européenne par l'indépendance énergétique de la France, ça compte, à l'heure où les tensions géopolitiques sont de plus en plus exacerbées !

Hello, hello! From a software engineer to the founder of a compostable packaging company, the story of Rich Cohen, our guest for this episode is the stuff of biopics! An environmentalist and problem solver at core, Rich was traveling on his sabbatical when he realised that plastic had reached even the most remote corners of the world. This is what led to him founding Elevate Packaging as a solution to this pervasive problem.His unique perspective of looking at things on a macro circular level is what makes him stand apart. Not only did his company make compostable packaging covering pretty much all the components from labels to tableware to gloves, but they also went on to partner up with Compost Stewardship Institute. This is to ensure their products end up in compost bins - where they belong - through their EPR takeback program.So tune in to hear about how he aims to eliminate a billion pounds of plastic annually and why he thinks the best thing for the planet would be for companies like his to go out of business! Never miss an episode by following us on all our socials by clicking on the link below!  linktr.ee/goodgarbageDon't forget to⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ turn on your notifications⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠leave us a review⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Des dizaines de millions de jouets sont fabriqués chaque année à travers le monde. Beaucoup finissent assez vite au placard ou à la poubelle. Alors comment réduire ces déchets, réutiliser et recycler les jouets ? En France, depuis janvier 2022, les industriels du secteur doivent financer la collecte, le réemploi ou encore le recyclage. Une loi pionnière dans ce domaine en Europe. À première vue, rien ne distingue l'école élémentaire Les Raguidelles d'autres établissements. Au milieu de bâtiments des années 1970, des dizaines d'enfants, jouent, courent et crient dans la cour de récréation de cet établissement de Suresnes, à deux pas de Paris. Mais à y regarder de plus près, on aperçoit ici un petit potager, là un bac à compost. À l'intérieur, les élèves et leurs professeurs ont réalisé une fresque du climat.Et puis dans le couloir qui mène à la cour, une dizaine de bacs et de cartons accueillent les jouets dont les enfants ne veulent plus. Un éléphant gris assoupi aux côtés d'une peluche de poisson aux écailles vertes et brillantes surmonte des cartons de jeux de société. On vit aussi « des livres, des jeux créatifs qui ne servent plus, un camion rempli de voitures » en plastique, expliquent Sibylle, Andréa, Lise, Hugo, Maya et Apolline, des élèves désignés « éco-délégués » de leur école. Quand les bacs ont été installés en novembre, ils sont restés vides quelque temps, « mais depuis qu'il y a eu un mot dans toutes les classes, ça s'est rempli d'un coup », poursuit l'une des éco-déléguées, qui n'a pas encore déposé de jouets dedans.Une filière unique en Europe de recyclage et réemploiL'école Les Raguidelles dépend de l'académie de Versailles, première académie en France à participer à la collecte de jouets usagés et la seule à ce jour avec l'académie voisine de Créteil. L'initiative concerne un peu plus de 220 établissements scolaires pour l'instant. Depuis un an et demi, grâce à une nouvelle loi, les jouets déposés à l'école sont ensuite collectés par l'organisme Ecomaison, grâce à une contribution prélevée sur la vente de jeux et jouets neufs. « Cette loi a mis en place une filière de collecte, de réemploi et de recyclage des jouets. La France est l'unique pays en Europe à avoir mis en place une telle filière. Son financement s'élève à 30 millions d'euros par an, destiné en priorité au réemploi et ensuite au recyclage », s'enorgueillit Dominique Mignon, la présidente d'Ecomaison.En France, 100 000 tonnes de jouets jetés chaque annéePrès de 100 000 tonnes de jouets sont jetées chaque année en France. Un tiers seulement est déposé dans des bacs à jouets (dans les écoles ou dans des magasins de jouets et des supermarchés notamment) pour être recyclé – le plus souvent – ou réutilisé. Après la collecte, les puzzles, toupies, poupées, ou encore peluches qui semblent en bon état arrivent chez des associations comme Rejoué, pour avoir une deuxième vie.L'association, qui emploie près de 45 salariés en insertion et une vingtaine de permanents, est installée dans un ancien centre de tri de La Poste à Vitry-sur-Seine, en banlieue parisienne. Benjamin Delforge, responsable communication de cette structure pionnière du réemploi des jouets en France, nous accueille au sous-sol de l'atelier, rempli de centaines de cartons empilés les uns sur les autres. Ces caisses ont été apportées par Ecomaison, ou bien directement par des particuliers ou des établissements accueillant des enfants. « Quand on les ouvre, c'est un peu la surprise, c'est la caverne d'Ali Baba », sourit-il, écharpe nouée autour du cou.Normes de sécuritéÀ l'ouverture des cartons, un premier tri est réalisé pour renvoyer vers le recyclage les jouets cassés ou ceux qui ne peuvent pas être vendus en raison de normes de sécurité. Benjamin Delforge attrape une peluche de lapin dans un bac : « par exemple, un doudou comme celui-ci n'a plus son étiquette CE donc nous ne pouvons pas le revendre », car la réglementation française et européenne impose cette norme pour garantir que les jouets ne sont ni toxiques ni dangereux pour les enfants.Lingettes, coton-tige, cure-dents et vinaigre blancAprès ce tri, les jouets en meilleur état quittent le sous-sol de l'association pour aller deux étages plus haut. Des salariés en insertion, comme Ingrid (qui a préféré donner uniquement son prénom), les réceptionnent. « On s'occupe aussi bien des poupées, des jeux en bois, des jeux d'extérieur… Si c'est incomplet, nous pouvons récupérer des pièces au rayon pièces détachées », expose-t-elle en montrant des étagères remplies de jeux de société ou encore de figurines. « Nous les complétons avant de les nettoyer avec des cotons tiges, des lingettes, des cure-dents… » et un mélange de vinaigre blanc et d'eau qui se trouve dans un spray posé sur la table devant elle. Un peu plus loin, une autre salariée s'affaire sur un grand robot de combat en plastique kaki et rouge.Un espace est dédié aux Playmobil et Lego, dont les boîtes sont reconstituées par thème. Les Barbie et autres poupées sont traitées, elles, « un peu comme une personne : on les lave, on les habille, on leur met des boucles d'oreilles, des accessoires propres, on les coiffe… Puis, on les emballe et on les emmène au contrôle qualité » précise Yoko, une salariée ivoirienne.Moins de 3 % de réemploi en France« L'an dernier, nous avons collecté 32 tonnes de jouets », dont un peu plus de la moitié a pu être revendue dans trois boutiques situées en région parisienne « à moins 40 % par rapport au prix du neuf », au bénéfice de l'association, ou donnée à des familles modestes. Mais le chemin est long avant de parvenir au «zéro déchet » dans la filière : pour l'instant moins de 3 % des jouets jetés en France sont remis en état et revendus ou donnés pour être réutilisés. L'objectif est d'atteindre 10 % d'ici fin 2027.À lire aussiQuel est le rôle de l'école dans l'engagement des jeunes pour le climat ?

A major UN conference to negotiate a global treaty on plastic pollution just ended without an agreement. But efforts may resume in 2025 to get a treaty over the finish line. In this two-part episode, you'll hear first from Erin Simon, WWF's vice president for plastic waste and business, about what happened at that conference in Korea (known as INC-5) and what comes next for the global fight against plastic pollution. Then, in Part 2, you'll hear from Sheila Bonini, WWF's senior vice president for private-sector engagement; and Kevin Keane, president and CEO of American Beverage (ABA) – the trade association representing the nation's non-alcoholic beverage industry. Sheila and Kevin's teams have been working together for the last five years to find different ways to achieve material circularity – which means that all the plastic, as well as other materials like aluminum, that get used are collected and remade into new products. Sheila and Kevin will tell us about what's working, what hurdles still remain, and how they plan to advance their mission regardless of whether a global plastics treaty gets adopted.

Trump won, now what? How will his regulations change packaging? Evelio Mattos and Adam Peek dive deep into the implications of political changes on the packaging industry, especially following a significant political event. Their discussion pivots around how key legal and economic shifts are predicted to impact packaging regulations, sourcing, and sustainability practices globally. As the episode unfolds, Evelio and Adam dissect potential regulatory shifts in the United States, emphasizing changes like federal regulations on packaging (EPR) and tariffs. They also explore how such shifts might influence industry activities, from ingredient sourcing to packaging designs. Using comprehensive insights, they explore how increased tariffs and environmental policies could spur changes in the cost and composition of packaging materials. The duo reflects on the possible ramifications of a change in administration policies on sustainable practices and corporate tax rates, urging listeners to prepare for notable expansions and shifts in the industry landscape. About the Guest(s): Evelio is a renowned packaging design expert, with extensive experience in sustainable packaging trends and global manufacturing processes. He is currently Creative Director of IDP Direct, a company integrating innovation in the packaging and design industry worldwide. Adam is a knowledgeable figure in the packaging sector, associated with Myers, a company specializing in paper packaging solutions. Adam has ventured into discussions centering on the industry's evolution in line with political and economic changes. Key Takeaways: Political changes might slow down the federal adoption of packaging-related environmental regulations like EPR, keeping the field at a state level. Tariffs could escalate packaging costs significantly, affecting international corporations and their cost burden, ultimately trickling down to consumers. An increase in recycling and local sourcing might occur as industries adapt to tariff-induced raw material costs and import restrictions. Potential deregulation of health-related products could open new packaging opportunities for innovative markets like psychedelics and nutraceuticals. The packaging sector should anticipate and adapt to various regulatory and economic shifts influenced by new political landscapes. This episode provides deep insights into the intricacies of packaging policies amid political changes. Listeners are encouraged to tune in for a full exploration of how future tariffs and regulations might shape the industry's next chapter.

In this episode, Matthew Taylor joins the podcast to dive deep into the world of pressure-limiting valves and regulators used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems. They explore the intricacies of Maximum Operating Pressure (MOP) expansion valves, Evaporator Pressure Regulators (EPR), and Crankcase Pressure Regulators (CPR), discussing their functions, applications, and differences. The conversation begins with an explanation of MOP expansion valves, which are commonly used in low-temperature refrigeration applications and air conditioning systems. Matthew describes how these valves work by using a vapor-charged thermal element to limit the suction pressure, protecting compressors from operating outside their designed range. They discuss the differences between liquid-filled, vapor-charged, and cross-charged valves, highlighting how each type affects system performance and superheat control. The discussion then shifts to larger systems and rack refrigeration, where Crankcase Pressure Regulators (CPRs) are preferred over MOP valves. Matthew explains how CPRs control pressure closer to the compressor, allowing for better superheat control in systems with longer piping runs. The conversation concludes with an explanation of Evaporator Pressure Regulators (EPRs), which are used in multi-evaporator systems to maintain specific evaporator temperatures independently of the overall system suction pressure. Topics covered in the podcast: ·        Maximum Operating Pressure (MOP) expansion valves ·        Liquid-filled vs. vapor-charged thermal elements ·        Cross-charged valves and superheat control ·        Applications of MOP valves in small refrigeration systems and air conditioning ·        Crankcase Pressure Regulators (CPRs) for larger systems ·        Evaporator Pressure Regulators (EPRs) for multi-evaporator setups ·        Differences between MOP, CPR, and EPR in pressure control ·        Challenges of pressure control in rack refrigeration systems ·        Impact of pressure-limiting devices on compressor longevity ·        Considerations for technicians when working with different types of systems   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?
