DOVER, DE, June 21, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In a fiery spectacle worthy of Silicon Valley lore, Ditchit - a rising star in the online marketplace space and rival to OfferUp - has made headlines by purchasing and then blowing up the original 560-pound Twitter bird sign once perched atop the company's San Francisco headquarters.The marketing stunt, filmed in the Nevada desert with a 15-person production crew, four Tesla Cybertrucks, and a Hollywood pyrotechnics expert, marked a symbolic farewell to legacy tech monopolies and a bold introduction to Ditchit's mission: to build a local marketplace that puts people before profits."Elon Musk rebranded Twitter to X to support free expression. At Ditchit, we're doing the same for local marketplaces," said Ditchit spokesman James Deluca. "Today's platforms are filled with ads, fees, and algorithms that prioritize businesses over people. Ditchit is different-free to use, ad-free, and designed to support real communities and real sellers."The 12-foot-tall Twitter logo, affectionately known as "Larry," was purchased at auction for $34,000 earlier this year. While the initial acquisition was driven by nostalgia, the company ultimately decided to transform the artifact into a symbol of disruption.The resulting video, now live on YouTube, shows the massive sign's explosive end outside of Las Vegas, capturing a cinematic moment that's already garnering viral attention.But "Larry's" story doesn't end in smoke. Fragments of the sign have been salvaged and will be sold on the Ditchit app in a sealed-bid auction starting today. 100% of proceeds will go to the Center for American Entrepreneurship, a nonprofit that champions startup innovation and supports the next generation of entrepreneurs."Many entrepreneurs get their start on local marketplace apps," Deluca added. "We're here to support that journey-not just through our platform, but through action."With the stunt, Ditchit isn't just selling a piece of tech history. It's signaling a new era for digital marketplaces - one powered by transparency, accessibility, and the belief that local economies deserve better.About DitchitDitchit is a community-first local marketplace built for everyday buyers and sellers.

蘇菲亞·布希：今年慶祝同志驕傲對我的意義 “`
(SeaPRwire) - 往往伴隨著五彩繽紛的紙屑爆發而來。遊行將音樂、活力和接納帶到街頭。但在2025年，事情感覺有所不同。慶祝同志驕傲月，這是一個多麼超現實的時刻。 就個人而言，公開走進我的酷兒世界感覺就像獲得了自由。我從未感覺自己如此自在。出乎意料地愛上現在稱之為伴侶的女人，感覺就像魔法。就像岩石變成水，堅韌和困難轉變為流動，現在一切都輕鬆自如。像我認識的許多經歷過重大轉變的女性一樣，我發現自己不再試圖模仿我從小長大的童話故事。不再試圖將自己塑造成我在電視上看到的那種版本——我經常在電視上扮演的那種版本。當你停止扭曲自己以適應外界的期望，開始傾聽自己的聲音時，會產生一種美味的、原始的感覺。來到這裡，獲得這種快樂——我在我的伴侶身上，也在我自己身上同時找到的快樂——花了四十年的時間來探索不同版本的自己。所以，如果你還在尋找，請繼續努力。這永遠不會太晚。 在我的關係公開後不久，我的母親打電話告訴我，她“震驚地”發現她的一些朋友比她預期的“更保守”。我不得不提醒她，作為一個70多歲的白人女性，她有一些悄悄持有排斥觀點的朋友並不奇怪。她被一次特別的談話困擾。一位“朋友”打電話給她說：“好吧！這不可能是真的。我的意思是，你的女兒不是同性戀。” 我的媽媽說她能感覺到那個女人強調這個詞的方式中的惡意。她毫不猶豫地告訴我，“你知道我說了什麼嗎？！我說，‘哦，親愛的，我認為她非常同性戀。而且她很快樂。” 自從分享我與一位女性找到愛的故事以來，我一次又一次地觀察到一件事：對某些人來說，酷兒的幸福將永遠被視為一種威脅。我永遠無法理解為什麼。在一個已經充滿痛苦和不確定的世界裡，為什麼有人會試圖拒絕更多的愛？更多的快樂？ 對於我的愛情故事所帶來的所有的幸福和滿足，我也在與這一切的不協調作鬥爭：我們在我們家裡建立的安全與和平，以及走出去進入一個並不能保證我們社區中每個人的安全與輕鬆的世界，因為 LGBTQ+ 權利正在受到攻擊。這就是我在 2025 年同志驕傲月期間所想的。 右翼分子正在努力推翻民權保護，試圖取消、廢除反歧視法律，並剝奪獲得救生護理的途徑（我簡直不敢相信我必須輸入這句話）。 Trump administration 正在幫助拯救 LGBTQ+ 青少年生命的計畫。所謂的“家庭價值黨”對以下事實視而不見：40% 的無家可歸的年輕人是因為他們因為是同性戀、女同性戀、跨性別者、雙性戀者或酷兒而被趕出家門。 我無法想像只在某些條件下愛一個孩子。只愛他們如果他們成為你希望他們成為的人，而不是他們自己。我認識到我從小就擁有的特權，這要歸功於我的父母——我的父母有一個龐大、華麗、充滿藝術氣息的社群，裡面充滿了同性戀朋友。我的父母一生都帶我參加洛杉磯的同志驕傲遊行。愛我的伴侶的父母。一位每次我們共進晚餐時都會發簡訊給我關於我們關係的反思的媽媽，最近一次是：“看到你帶給彼此的快樂、愛和安慰，我的心都充滿了。這對你們來說是如此溫馨和自然。我非常愛你們。”我的父母想要的，以及每個父母都應該想要的，是一個快樂的孩子。就這麼簡單。 但對於當今 LGBTQ+ 社群中的許多人來說，暴力始於家庭，並且只在世界範圍內擴大。酷兒的愛一直是一種抵抗行為，也許人們已經忘記了這一點——畢竟，美國的公共教育正在被削弱。反映我們愛的書籍正在被禁止。本屆政府正在像對待終極威脅一樣對待包容性。他們試圖，彷彿通過消除語言，他們就能消除人民。但這種傷害並不僅僅止於酷兒。它傷害了每個人。同性戀。異性戀。女人。男人。我們的跨性別朋友。你的孩子。曾經處於統治階級之外的每個人。因為事實是：如果我們中的一些人失去權利，那就意味著其他人也容易受到傷害。 我今年全心全意地慶祝同志驕傲月，並且帶著我對我的身份和這個社群的所有愛——但我也想記住這些傳統來之不易。我們不能認為 LGBTQ+ 歷史是理所當然的。驕傲月最初是一場抗議活動。“出櫃”是面對警察暴行和征服的公開反抗行為。如果沒有 石牆事件 和 1960 年代和 1970 年代的活動家，我們就不會有同志驕傲月。我們將沒有任何權利。我們今天擁有的自由讓人民付出了他們的生命安全、他們的家園、他們的鮮血、汗水和淚水。人們僅僅因為拒絕隱藏而在 石牆事件 中遭到毆打。 所以我很欣賞襯衫、保險桿貼紙和彩虹紙屑以及它們所傳達的信息——我喜歡臉上掛著燦爛的笑容揮舞旗幟。但它不能止步於此。符號是一個開始，而不是解決方案。我們不能只是在公開場合穿著我們的安全信號，我們還必須在私下裡做工作。穿上 T 恤並致電您的國會代表。每週給他們打一次電話。要求他們站出來維護平等的權利保護。提醒他們你的價值觀是跨領域的，我們的自由是緊密相連的。盡你所能。捐款，或者更好的是，貢獻你的時間。 我知道我們都很累並且感到倦怠。我們經歷了很多——悲傷、分裂、政治混亂。這一刻感覺很沉重。我的建議是尋找光明。身處社群之中。致力於挺身而出。不要只是保護酷兒；為我們的快樂騰出空間。堅守陣線，向世界表明我們不會倒退。我向你保證——這將是你參與過的最快樂、最能肯定生命價值的行動主義。我們都需要清楚地表明我們想要站在歷史的哪一邊。我選擇熱愛愛的這一邊。我希望你會加入我們。這邊很不錯。此外，我們還有美味的零食——甚至更好的播放清單。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。 ```
莎賓娜·卡本特不是問題
(SeaPRwire) - 美國，我們有個問題：沒人再做愛了。除了，全國上下都呈現一種。對和的持續攻擊，加上以及更多傳統形式母職的興起，無疑導致美國形成了一種性愛不僅僅是達到目的（生孩子），更是一種天生令人恐懼的行為的環境。簡單來說：我們沒有生活在一個性感的經濟體中。所以，當莎柏琳娜·卡本特發布她即將發行的專輯《Man’s Best Friend》的封面時，她引起了一些爭議——並再次成為美國性挫折的代名詞——這並不令人意外。 在《Man’s Best Friend》的封面上，卡本特身穿黑色迷你裙，一名畫框外的男子拉扯她的頭髮，暗示著性行為。這張封面立刻被冠上「爭議」之名，儘管卡本特對此並不陌生。她最近的舞台表演和編舞已成為將她視為孩童不良榜樣的父母之間的。在一次《Rolling Stone》中，這位歌手表示她的批評者造就了她音樂的惡名。「當人們抱怨時，我總是覺得很有趣，」卡本特解釋道。「他們說：『她只會唱這些。』但那些正是你們讓它受歡迎的歌曲。顯然，你們熱愛性。你們對此著迷。」 她沒說錯。她的不插電歌曲鮮少受到關注，那些歌曲通常是簡約、私密的時刻，她會詩意地談論心碎；相較之下，她誇張、大膽的表演中，她會與舞者進行半開玩笑的角色扮演。（在她巴黎演唱會上的參考）後者在社群媒體平台上被大量記錄和分享，而前者則鮮少在巡演之外展現。 她也不是第一位被指控性不道德的流行歌星。事實上，在我們的流行文化版圖中，這是一種變態的成人禮。想想有多少流行歌星都不得不忍受同樣的事情：珍娜·傑克森、瑪丹娜、布蘭妮·斯皮爾斯、克莉絲汀·阿奎萊拉。當傑克森發行她那令人愉悅的單曲《Pleasure Principle》時，隆納·雷根正在任。當瑪丹娜出版她那本「醜聞性」的《Sex》咖啡桌書（在多個國家被禁）時，老布希正值總統競選活動中。當斯皮爾斯和阿奎萊拉放棄她們鄰家女孩的形象，轉而選擇更性感的形象時，喬治·布希是最高統帥。性別歧視在音樂產業中並非獨有，種族歧視亦然，但對音樂產業女性的則是反映了她們表演所處時代的社會和文化規範。保守主義的存在，在唐納·川普總統的第二任期內依然猖獗，與性解放的流行歌星直接對立。 儘管大多數美國人沒有性生活，但對卡本特專輯封面的公開反應卻指出一個事實，或許他們是渴望的。但人們並沒有對自己的性慾坦誠相待，而是將他們的挫折轉嫁到社會上最顯眼的人身上。這也包括流行歌星。 因為問題在於：問題不在於她在舞台上模仿性愛姿勢，也不在於她在專輯封面上跪趴著。這既不是試圖美化親密伴侶暴力，也不是關於的入門101課程。問題在於聯邦政府削減資金和性教育服務的行動。問題在於國家回歸保守主義理想，這不成比例（且負面地）影響著女性、有色人種以及酷兒和跨性別者——所有這些都打著「家庭價值觀」的旗號。問題在於我們距離讓女性享受性愛——並感到愉悅——比以往任何時候都遙遠。 或許卡本特在發布《Man’s Best Friend》的封面時，並無意參與美國正在上演的性與保守主義文化戰爭。或許她是少數沒有經歷性衰退的美國人之一。（這對她來說是好事！）但這張專輯封面確實感覺像是她試圖參與流行音樂中女性所珍視的傳統。這是她宣示女性應該擁有對自己性自主權的宣言——就像許多流行歌星在她之前所做的那樣。 最重要的是，《Man’s Best Friend》的封面確實揭示了我們缺乏安全感的美國意識中一個深刻的真相：無法從事健康的性行為（這種情況因社群媒體上保守內容的湧入而加劇），使得那些對自己的性需求和慾望充滿自信的女性成為不公平批評和攻擊的對象。對他們來說，這很可怕，只因為它看起來太自由了。 莎柏琳娜·卡本特不是問題。我們缺乏高潮才是。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。
颶風艾利克登陸墨西哥太平洋沿岸，民眾需注意哪些事項
(SeaPRwire) - 根據 (NHC) 的說法，颶風艾利克 (Erick) 週四早上在墨西哥太平洋沿岸登陸，為瓦哈卡州西部帶來「危及生命的洪水和泥石流」的可能性。 該颶風在登陸時從四級風暴降為三級風暴，最大持續風速接近每小時 125 英里。預計颶風中心將在全天向墨西哥南部內陸移動，並預計在瓦哈卡州和格雷羅州產生 8 到 12 英寸的總降雨量。NHS 警告說，可能會發生危及生命的洪水和泥石流，尤其是在地形陡峭的地區。預計危及生命的風暴潮也會在中心穿過海岸附近和東部造成沿海洪水。 阿卡普爾科和天使港之間已發布颶風警報，該地區仍受奧蒂斯颶風 (Hurricane Otis) 的影響，奧蒂斯颶風是一場具有毀滅性的五級颶風，於 2023 年 10 月在阿卡普爾科附近登陸，造成 52 人死亡。阿卡普爾科以西至特克潘德加萊亞納 (Tecpan de Galeana) 處於颶風觀察期，這意味著可能出現颶風狀況，但目前尚未預期。預計颶風將在墨西哥山區迅速減弱，整個系統將在週四晚上或週五凌晨消散。 艾利克 (Erick) 是今年第一個主要颶風。六月標誌著颶風季節的正式開始，通常會持續到十一月底。在美國，National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 預測了一個「高於正常」的颶風季節。 該風暴系統在強度增加了一倍後引起了人們的關注。快速增強（定義為最大風速在 24 小時內至少增加 35 英里/小時）的現象與氣候變化有關，並且使預報員更難準確預測風暴的影響。上個颶風季節，NHC 記錄了 34 起快速增強事件，幾乎是過去 10 年平均水平的兩倍。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。 ```
川普競選時主張不介入戰爭，如今他對伊朗的態度轉變。
(SeaPRwire) - 6月16日，當唐納德·川普總統提前離開在加拿大山區度假勝地卡納納斯基舉行的七國集團（G-7）會議時，他表示需要返回華盛頓，因為以色列和伊朗之間的衝突正在升級。他在空軍一號上告訴記者，他不喜歡依賴電話，他希望自己「我想，能更熟悉一點」。對於一向隨心所欲的川普來說，這是一個局勢嚴峻的信號，他罕見地承認自己沒有足夠的資訊來處理這種一觸即發的局面。 對美國來說，風險很高。德黑蘭在以色列出乎意料的有效攻擊下被逼入絕境，可能會決定將其代理恐怖主義力量轉向該地區及其他地方的美國。隨著衝突威脅蔓延，以色列與阿拉伯國家之間的戰略和解岌岌可危。更廣泛地說，這場戰爭的結果可能決定美國是否會再向中東派遣一代軍隊，再次將美國的力量從遏制中國在太平洋地區的擴張中轉移開來。 與此同時，以色列擊敗伊朗可能會開啟阿拉伯-以色列合作的[新篇章]，削弱德黑蘭的地區民兵力量，並對中國造成打擊，後者曾試圖扶植德黑蘭作為制衡美國的地區力量。川普第一任期內的美國前副國家安全顧問馬修·波廷格（Matthew Pottinger）指出：「你們擁有這個以北京為核心的軸心。」 美國可以左右局勢，但川普在處理衝突方面受到限制。距離美國從阿富汗災難性撤軍已經四年了。川普競選時承諾不讓美國捲入更多戰爭，而對進一步捲入的最激烈反對正來自他自己的MAGA支持者。 川普已經增強了美國在以色列和伊朗周圍的軍事存在，他命令另一艘導彈驅逐艦駛向以色列附近水域，並指揮美國海軍尼米茲號航空母艦及其打擊群改變在太平洋的航向，駛向阿拉伯海。 伊朗位於世界上最重要的戰略十字路口之一。全球近三分之一的原油產量通過荷莫茲海峽——並且在伊朗海岸線30英里範圍內通過。油輪已被警告要更靠近阿曼海岸，即海峽的西部。在大規模軍事動員期間，海上警報正在警告船隻，「電子干擾」可能會干擾他們的導航設備。 對於川普來說，伊朗對美國的直接攻擊將觸發軍事回應。伊朗曾下令暗殺川普，並試圖殺害一名住在布魯克林的伊朗裔美國記者。波廷格說：「他們公開這些威脅的事實告訴我，他們不認為自己面臨來自美國的可信報復風險。」「以色列的襲擊可能會為他們的判斷注入一些現實。但伊朗人曾多次被證明會誤判形勢。」 返回華盛頓後，川普發出了明顯更具敵意的言論。他呼籲伊朗「無條件投降」，並斥責其領導人沒有更認真地對待談判。他說：「你們為什麼不在兩週前與我談判？你們本可以做得很好。你們本可以擁有一個國家。」現在，對於伊朗和美國來說，所有賭注都已失效。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。
伊朗核計劃何去何從 “`
(SeaPRwire) - 在伊朗中部的札格羅斯山脈深處，位於納坦茲市郊外的一個由堅固隧道組成的迷宮中，離心機以肉眼無法追蹤的速度旋轉。這些機器串聯排列在長長的廳堂中，並由混凝土和鋼材屏蔽，一直是伊朗最敏感的核工作的核心，並且直到最近，在很大程度上免受空襲。但這個月，以色列戰機穿透伊朗領空，襲擊了多個核設施，包括被認為是無法觸及的地下設施。 雖然損害的全部程度仍然不明朗，但衛星圖像和國際原子能機構(IAEA)的初步損害評估表明，對伊朗納坦茲核設施的襲擊特別有效，切斷了地下區域的電力。 以色列的襲擊也打破了中東多年來一直存在的不穩定的核現狀，同時提出了一個令人望而卻步的問題：如果伊朗認為唯一真正的威懾是製造炸彈，那會發生什麼？ 十多年來，德黑蘭一直在核突破能力的門檻之下運作。但今年春天，它放棄了這種克制。IAEA 在 5 月份報告說，伊朗已經累積了大約 120 公斤的鈾，濃縮度達到 60%——非常接近武器級別的 90%——如果進一步濃縮，足夠在五個月內製造 22 顆核彈。與此同時，伊朗開始在已經使用的兩個濃縮廳之上建造第三個濃縮廳。美國官員認為這是一種挑釁；以色列認為這是開戰的理由。 以色列於 6 月 13 日發動的軍事打擊是迅速、精準和經過校準的。以色列官員將其描述為一項先發制人的行動，旨在通過瞄準其主要的濃縮地點、核科學家和軍事官員來削弱伊朗製造核武器的能力。 但是，儘管襲擊似乎已經擾亂了伊朗的濃縮行動，但它保留了科學專業知識和儲備的材料，現在擁有更強烈的動機將其計劃埋藏得更深。「如果伊朗在衝突中倖存下來，他們可能會認為核武器是擁有威懾的唯一途徑，」Middle East Institute 的高級研究員 Alex Vatanka 說。 伊朗可能會嘗試在其剩餘的設施之一中衝刺製造核武器。其中一個位於福爾道，深埋在靠近庫姆市的山脈中，據信只有美國最強大的碉堡剋星炸彈——30,000 磅的 GBU-57——才能到達它。 這一威脅突顯了約束伊朗計劃的外交努力的崩潰。「現在嘗試達成協議比過去困難得多，」曾在 Obama Administration 負責伊朗制裁的 Richard Nephew 說。Atlantic Council 的 Matt Kroenig 說：「我們正處於伊朗成為核大國的邊緣，現在看來我們已經將這種威脅推向了未來。」本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。 ```

納坦雅胡如何將川普推向戰爭
(SeaPRwire) - 透過大膽、無情和運氣的結合，以色列總理班傑明·納坦雅胡在短短20個月內，徹底顛覆了以色列與其最具威脅性的區域對手伊朗之間的權力平衡。但他最重要的勝利，或許是成功說服唐納德·J·川普總統，必須對德黑蘭發動以色列軍隊的全面攻擊。 據兩名參與雙方會談的以色列官員表示，納坦雅胡成功說服川普的關鍵在於一系列戰略決策。第一步發生在2月4日，當時以色列總理自川普重返白宮後首次造訪。據一位出席會議的官員透露，在內閣會議室的長桌旁，納坦雅胡提醒川普，伊朗曾密謀刺殺他。接著，他詳細說明了一份幻燈片簡報，闡述了在他看來，伊朗是如何逼近核門檻的：增加其高濃縮鈾儲備並推進其離心機技術。「聽著，唐納德，」納坦雅胡說，「這必須解決，因為他們正在快速推進。」他隨後暫停，以製造戲劇效果，並直視川普的眼睛。「你的任內不能出現一個擁核的伊朗。」 這似乎給川普留下了深刻印象。但川普顯然還沒有準備好同意以色列直接攻擊伊朗。他說他想先嘗試外交途徑。畢竟，他是在結束戰爭而非發動戰爭的承諾下當選的。他還任命他的老朋友、房地產大亨史蒂夫·維特科夫出面與德黑蘭斡旋。據在場的官員透露，他告訴納坦雅胡：「我們還是先談判吧。」 納坦雅胡不情願地表示，他會給川普時間和空間，看看是否可能達成協議。最終，川普的團隊確定了一個60天的框架，以鞏固協議的輪廓。以色列官員表示，讓談判持續到最後期限至關重要，因為當伊朗超出期限時，川普便對以色列提出的軍事計畫感到放心。一位官員告訴TIME：「這向川普證明，我們無人可談，那是伊朗人的一個詭計。」 以色列方面是這樣說的。但川普尚未完全解釋他從堅定的談判者轉變為潛在參與對德黑蘭攻擊的原因。白宮沒有回應多次置評請求。 就在幾週前，川普承認，他曾警告納坦雅胡在外交談判期間不要採取軍事行動。然而，隨著談判的展開，納坦雅胡正在準備全面攻擊伊朗核能力的計畫。他在此過程中得到了一些幫助。5月31日，國際原子能總署報告稱，伊朗正在違反2019年與該機構達成的協議。據以色列官員透露，以色列隨後與川普分享了情報，他們聲稱這些情報顯示伊朗故意拖延談判，以秘密獲取核武庫零件。「他們正在利用與史蒂夫的這些談判，推進到他們能夠說『我們準備好了，我們只差一天』的地步。」一位官員說。 並非所有美國人都信服。正如國家情報總監圖爾西·加巴德在3月份告訴國會的那樣，美國情報機構認為德黑蘭尚未決定製造炸彈。但一旦川普的60天窗口關閉，以色列人便抓住了總統的挫敗感。他們說，伊朗在幾個月內就能擁有核武器。以色列人通知美國人，他們將在清晨襲擊伊朗目標。數小時內，伊朗進行反擊，導致以色列中部三名平民死亡。但很快，以色列成功地在伊朗領空取得了優勢。「在兩天內，我們消滅了他們三分之一的武器庫。」以色列國防軍發言人瑪莎·米歇爾森說。 川普政府官員表示，理想情況下，以色列將迫使德黑蘭回到談判桌，並接受永久性終止其核計畫。川普的一些盟友，包括史蒂芬·班農和塔克·卡爾森，則擔心以色列會將美國軍隊拖入衝突。 以色列的最終目標仍然未知。納坦雅胡曾表示，他的目標不是政權更迭，但這種情況有可能發生。即使是總理的助手們也不確定最終結果會是什麼，但他們正在為更多的戰爭做準備。「我們已經成功實現了許多出乎意料的行動。」一位官員說，「我們可能還有一些驚喜。」 無論如何，納坦雅胡似乎已經成功地讓川普接受了他對伊朗核野心的看法。當被問及6月17日加巴德的證詞時，川普回應說：「我不在乎她說了什麼。我認為他們非常接近了。」本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。
伊朗如何在中東地區陷入孤立
(SeaPRwire) - 對伊朗來說，這是一個危險的時刻。以色列已 掌控了天空。該政權的大部分高級軍事指揮官已被 ，更不用說 。 美國總統 Donald Trump 現在 要求「無條件投降」。 伊斯蘭共和國希望它能說服波斯灣阿拉伯國家告訴美國向以色列施壓，結束其軍事行動。但這是一個徒勞的事業。該政權在這個地區沒有真正的朋友——而這一切都該怪它自己。 近五十年來，阿亞圖拉們奉行著「輸出革命」和「前沿防禦」的擴張主義政策。 但伊朗認為鞏固中東長期領導地位的制勝戰略卻適得其反。 伊朗的崛起是建立在利用巴勒斯坦問題和黎巴嫩什葉派邊緣化等問題之上的。 伊朗的模式將德黑蘭塑造成導師和贊助人，以打擊正義事業為藉口孵化武裝團體。 事實上，伊朗的代理人依賴著與德黑蘭政權相同的壓迫行為。 多年來，伊朗的戰略似乎奏效了。 伊朗支持的團體成為他們國家最強大的行動者。 黎巴嫩真主黨（伊朗培育的第一個代理人）看似取得的成功成為中東其他國家的範本。 但是，代理人的擴張為伊朗及其資產帶來了脆弱性。 由於沒有國內批評的空間，以及對外部反對者的壓制，該政權的行為沒有受到任何制約。 德黑蘭對自己的脆弱性視而不見，認為它可以勝過美國、以色列、阿拉伯國家和國際社會。 這包括在 超出民用必要水平的同時談判一項國際核協議，並認為它可以承受 的後果。 盲目也導致德黑蘭高估了它與俄羅斯和中國的友誼。 2015年，德黑蘭將莫斯科視為介入 的盟友。 但俄羅斯反而看到了一個擴大其在該國影響力、鞏固其 ，並對抗西方的機會。 伊朗和中國達成了一項 。 但德黑蘭認為正在崛起的全球影響力，中國則認為這是一個有限的經濟協定。 北京隨後拖延了協議的交付。 今天，俄羅斯和中國都不會來拯救伊朗。 北京一直避免捲入中東衝突，並且仍然專注於其印度-太平洋後院。 莫斯科深陷烏克蘭困境，並將多年來的衝突放在首位，而近幾個月來衝突只會加劇。 伊朗的代理人也無法拯救它。 以色列已經 並摧毀了其大部分導彈庫，如果該組織將黎巴嫩拖入另一場戰爭，它將失去大部分剩餘的國內支持。 在美國進行了長達數月的空襲之後，葉門胡塞武裝剩餘的武器庫規模仍然是個謎，但他們受到 與 Washington 和 Riyadh 的限制。 大多數伊朗支持的伊拉克派系也選擇自保，而不是參與與以色列和美國一場無法獲勝的戰鬥。 與此同時，在 12 月 之後，敘利亞已經從一片沃土變成了伊朗及其資產的敵對之地。 以色列已將其對伊朗的戰爭定位為促進區域和全球穩定。 美國和以色列都希望實現這一目標。 雖然阿拉伯海灣國家已經與伊朗進行 ，並且正在 ，這很大程度上只是一種象徵性的姿態。 他們最終不會阻礙一個新的中東和一個被削弱的伊朗。 這個政權似乎正在嚥下最後一口氣，並且沒有人可以求助。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。 ```

社會安全和醫療保險信託基金預計在不到十年的時間內耗盡，以下為您需要了解的資訊
(SeaPRwire) - 社會安全福利和 Medicare 預計將需要在不到十年的時間內削減每月福利，因為這兩個計劃的信託基金預計將比先前預測的時間更早耗盡。 社會安全和 Medicare 董事會週三發布的一份報告提前了這些計劃的破產日期，意味著它們將沒有足夠的資金來完全支付福利。 報告稱，預測惡化的部分原因是影響社會安全福利的一項新法律以及醫療保健成本的增加。 以下是關於即將到來的資金懸崖的須知事項。 社會安全福利將維持償付能力多久？ 社會安全福利信託基金的破產日期從去年的 2035 年預估提前至 2034 年。 這些資金涵蓋老年和殘疾受益人。該計劃涵蓋了美國的數百萬人。 Medicare 呢？ 去年的報告將 Medicare 醫院保險信託基金的破產日期設定為 2036 年。但最新的報告將該日期提前至 2033 年。 Medicare 是一項聯邦醫療保險計劃，為 65 歲及以上的人以及某些殘疾人士提供保障。 美國有數百萬人參加了該計劃。 醫院保險信託基金支付醫院保險，涵蓋在醫院和專業護理機構提供的護理，以及一些居家護理。它還有助於支付臨終關懷費用。 為什麼破產日期提前了？ 該報告主要將社會安全福利破產日期提前歸因於一項新法律，即 Bipartisan Agreement，該法律於 1 月生效。 該法律廢除了社會安全法案的 Windfall Elimination and Government Pension Offset 條款，該條款「提高了某些工人的預計社會安全福利水平」，並影響了社會安全福利信託基金的破產日期，該報告稱。 報告稱，去年 Medicare 醫院保險信託基金的支出也高於最初的預期，這導致了該計劃的破產日期提前。 破產日期之後會發生什麼？ 資金達到破產日期並不意味著在那之後將沒有任何資金來支付任何福利。 2034 年之後，社會安全福利將只有足夠的資金來支付 81% 的福利。 2033 年之後，Medicare 的醫院保險信託基金將只能支付 89% 的費用。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。 ```
塑造全球增長新平台 —— SPIEF-2025 開放對話討論
Moscow, Russia - 2025年6月20日 - (SeaPRwire) - 6月18日，基於俄羅斯國家中心開放對話成果的「塑造全球增長新平台」會議，開啟了聖彼得堡國際經濟論壇（SPIEF）商業議程。 來自俄羅斯、喀麥隆、西班牙、阿塞拜疆和加拿大的知名國際專家，以及開放對話優秀論文作者共同參與了討論。 與會嘉賓圍繞不斷變化的世界秩序、非洲潛力及未來經濟趨勢展開，包括人口變化和突破性技術的應用。 「今年聖彼得堡國際經濟論壇正值全球局勢動盪之際，涵蓋中東局勢與貿易戰等議題。論壇將大量關注這一當前議程。我們不能忘記，是哪些長期趨勢和挑戰導致了現狀，哪些趨勢是基本且決定性的。開展開放對話，探討如何構建未來世界，如何打造全球增長新平台至關重要。全球增長在哪些國家發生？基於哪些技術？遵循哪些原則和文化代碼？我們的任務是確保前進成果惠及所有像俄羅斯一樣致力於未來的國家人民。正是通過開放對話，構築了我們的未來及對未來的認知，」馬克西姆·奧列什金強調。 西班牙發言人、馬德里康普頓斯大學經濟學博士、教授胡安·安東尼奧·德·卡斯特羅·德·阿雷斯帕科查加介紹了全球多數國家如何改變現實。 「如今，大多數國家不僅參與全球進程，更在改變現實。我們看到越來越靈活、多極化的世界秩序正在形成。世界貿易變得碎片化、高速且技術化，國際體系則演變為一張優先協議網絡，扭曲了GATT和世貿組織的基本原則，」他指出。 討論的重點之一是「非洲——未來經濟秩序的引擎」。非洲諮詢委員會主席弗朗索瓦·恩德格韋表示，人口增長正將非洲轉變為未來全球勞動力的搖籃。 「這不僅是數據統計，更是人力資本，能成為全球增長的新引擎。那些今天投資教育、建設非洲大學的人，將在明天與非洲共同塑造市場，制定遊戲規則，」他說。 EFKO集團執行董事兼董事會成員謝爾蓋·伊萬諾夫談及現代企業的新責任。他強調，企業不只是利潤製造者，更是社會變革的積極參與者。 「今天我們應投資哪些項目和技術？投資標準有三條：質的提升人類生活、製程與自然和諧、具備可及性至少具備大眾潛力。但更重要的不是你製造什麼，而是在哪種文化下製造。2012年總統曾說過一句我近期經常引用的話：俄羅斯人的偉大使命是團結，透過文化、語言與普遍的感知力連接文明。因此，我們努力圍繞這種普遍感知力建立文化和倫理，打造有人文關懷的資本主義，」他說。 另一場聚焦突破性技術的會議中，「未來交通」有限責任公司總經理尤里·科扎連科表示，自動化如今已達到機器人製造機器人的階段，生產面向人類的商品與服務。 「今年是人工智能技術發展的躍進之年。中國開設了多個中心、學校和研究所，培養各類專業機器人。我們俄羅斯也在薩馬拉和莫斯科開設機器人培訓中心，包括無人系統研究所，教授機器人以經濟高效的方式創造社會價值，」他強調。 專家補充說，科技創新正直接影響社會領域，例如助力解決人口危機。 會議期間，參與者還討論了由「第三羅馬」跨行業專業中心準備的開放對話成果報告。「塑造全球增長新平台」會議的結論成為SPIEF-2025後續商業議程的基礎。會議錄像可於俄羅斯國家中心網站觀看。 Social Links Telegram: https://t.me/gowithrussia VK: https://vk.com/gowithrussia OK: https://ok.ru/gowithrussia DZen: https://dzen.ru/gowithrussia Contact for the media Brand: Russia National Centre Contact: Media team Email: Pressa@russia.ru Website: https://russia.ru
Shaping a New Platform for Global Growth Discussed at Open Dialogue within SPIEF-2025
Moscow, Russia – June 20, 2025 – (SeaPRwire) – The session “Shaping a New Platform for Global Growth”, based on the results of the Open Dialogue of the Russia National Centre, opened the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum business program on June 18. Recognised international experts from Russia, Cameroon, Spain, Azerbaijan, and Canada, as well as authors of the best essays from the Open Dialogue, participated in the discussion. Speakers discussed the changing world order, Africa’s potential, and trends in the future economy, including demographic changes and the implementation of breakthrough technologies. “This year, the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum is taking place against turbulent world events. This includes the situation in the Middle East and trade wars. Much time will be devoted to this current agenda at the forum. We must not forget which long-term trends and challenges led to the current situation, which trends are basic and defining. It is important to conduct an open dialogue about how we build the world of the future and how to form a new platform for global growth. In which countries does this global growth occur, on which technologies will it be built, and on which principles and cultural code? Our task is to ensure that forward movement benefits people in all countries that, like Russia, are working on the future. It is through open dialogue that our future and its understanding are built,” emphasised Maxim Oreshkin. A speaker from Spain, Juan Antonio de Castro de Arespacochaga, a doctor of economics and professor at Complutense University of Madrid, delivered a report on how the global majority of countries are changing reality. “Today, most countries are not just participating in global processes – they are changing reality. We see how an increasingly flexible and multipolar world order is forming. World trade is becoming fragmented, fast, and technological, while the international system is becoming a network of preferential agreements, which distorts the principles laid down in the foundation of GATT and WTO,” noted Juan Antonio de Castro de Arespacochaga. One of the main discussion topics was: “Africa – driver of the future economic order.” Chairman of the African Advisory Council Francois Ndengwe noted that demographic growth is transforming Africa into the future cradle of the global workforce. “This is not just statistics – this is human capital that can become a new driver of global growth. Those who invest in education today and build universities in Africa will tomorrow shape markets and set the game’s rules together with Africa,” said Francois Ndengwe. Sergei Ivanov, Executive Director and Member of the EFKO Group board of Directors, spoke about the business’s new responsibility in the modern world. The expert emphasised that business today is not just a profit generator but an active participant in social transformations. “What projects and technologies should we invest in today? Investment criteria are three conditions: qualitatively improving human life, being produced in harmony with nature, and being accessible, at a minimum, having mass potential. But what’s more important is not only what you produce, but also in what culture you do it. In 2012, the president spoke words that I’ve been quoting often lately. He said that the great mission of Russians is to unite, to bind civilisation with culture, language, and universal responsiveness. And so we try to build our culture and our ethics around this very universal responsiveness. To build capitalism with a human face,” said Sergei Ivanov. Another session’s focus, “Shaping a New Platform for Global Growth”, was on breakthrough technologies. As noted by Yuri Kozarenko, General Director of “Transport of the Future” LLC, today, automation has reached a level where robots create robots for the production of goods and services for humans. “This year has become significant, showing a leap in the technological development of artificial intelligence. Several centres, schools, and institutes have been opened in China to train robots in various specialities. We in Russia, in turn, are opening robot training centres based in the Samara region and Moscow, including the Institute of Unmanned Systems. We teach robots to bring social benefit in an economically efficient way,” emphasised Yuri Kozarenko. The expert added that technological innovations today directly affect social spheres, for example, helping to solve the demographic crisis. During the session, participants also discussed the report on the results of the Open Dialogue prepared by the Centre for Cross-Industry Expertise “Third Rome.” The conclusions of the session “Shaping a New Platform for Global Growth” became the foundation for the subsequent business program of SPIEF-2025. The session “Shaping a New Platform for Global Growth” recording can be viewed on the Russia National Centre website.

Global Economic Shifts in Focus as Madrid Professor Addresses SPIEF 2025 Opening Session
Moscow, Russia – June 20, 2025 – (SeaPRwire) – The St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) 2025, held in Russia from June 18 to 21, began with a high-level session titled *”Shaping a New Platform for Global Growth.”* The session marked the presentation of the final report from the International Open Dialogue of the Russia National Centre and featured expert insights into global economic and geopolitical shifts. Among the key speakers was Juan Antonio de Castro de Arespacochaga, a doctor of economics and professor at Complutense University of Madrid, who addressed the evolving role of the global majority in transforming international systems. The session was dedicated to the current challenges of modernity: economic and political fragmentation, demographic changes, the consequences of breakthrough technology implementation, and social and technological gaps within and between countries. A speaker from Spain, Juan Antonio de Castro de Arespacochaga, a doctor of economics and professor at Complutense University of Madrid, delivered a report on how the global majority of countries are changing reality. “Today, most countries are not just participating in global processes—they are changing reality. We see how an increasingly flexible and multipolar world order is forming. World trade is becoming fragmented, fast, and technological, while the international system is becoming a network of preferential agreements, which distorts the principles laid down in the foundation of GATT and WTO,” noted Juan Antonio de Castro de Arespacochaga. In his opinion, the world is becoming increasingly fragmented and unpredictable—this applies to politics and economics. “The international trade architecture is breaking down into nodes and blocks, which requires new approaches. We must be able to respond to these challenges, understanding that the old rules no longer work in the new dynamics,” emphasised Juan Antonio de Castro de Arespacochaga. “It is important to conduct an open dialogue about how we build the world of the future and form a new platform for global growth. In which countries will this global growth occur, on which technologies will it be built, and on which principles and cultural code? Our task is to ensure that forward movement benefits people in all countries that, like Russia, are working on the future. It is through open dialogue that our future and its understanding are built,” noted Maxim Oreshkin. At the session organised by the National Centre, speakers discussed, among other things, the report on the results of the Open Dialogue prepared by the Centre for Cross-Industry Expertise “Third Rome.” Key issues included factors shaping the new economic wave, technologies driving economic development, and ways to achieve human well-being. The session “Shaping a New Platform for Global Growth” results became the foundation for the subsequent business program of SPIEF-2025.

How Containers Supercharge AI Development Projects
SINGAPORE, June 17, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Artificial intelligence (AI) projects are both exciting and complex. They require considerable infrastructure to enable teams to innovate and scale as the need arises. Teams may face problems ranging from managing dependencies to scaling compute resources that can delay any progress. AI containers may just be the answer.Containers help standardize environments, improve scalability, and enable smoother collaboration. These are critical benefits when building and deploying AI models at scale and can make all the difference to your project. Whether you're training models or deploying in production, using an AI container setup can help streamline your entire development process. Let's find out how.Simplified environment managementOne of the biggest pain points in AI development is managing dependencies. Machine learning libraries, GPU drivers, and data preprocessing tools must all work together seamlessly. A small version mismatch may produce inconsistent results.Containers solve this by packaging everything your AI project needs (such as code, runtime, libraries, and system tools) into a single, portable environment. This means what works on one machine will work the same on another, enhancing reliable, predictable results.For teams working remotely with cloud platforms, containers help maintain consistency and reproducibility. Whether you're running a model on a developer's laptop or a testing environment, the container provides a stable environment.Faster experimentation and better security through isolationContainers allow for isolation from both the host system and other containers on the operating system. This isolation is beneficial in a few different ways:Security: Containers may help limit the impact of malicious applications. Isolation limits what each container can access. They make it easy to protect sensitive data processed by an AI model by restricting it's access to other networks.Speed: AI development involves a lot of trial and error. Data scientists often run multiple experiments in parallel, tweak parameters, or test new algorithms in a bid to perfect their model. Containers can help isolate each experiment in its own environment. This may accelerate testing and debugging.Convenience: With containerization, developers can spin up lightweight, standalone instances of different models without worrying about conflicts between dependencies. Additionally, when it's time to deploy, containers allow the same environment used during development to move directly into production.Scalable training with orchestration toolsTraining AI models like deep learning models may require significant compute power. As datasets grow and architecture becomes more complex, developers need infrastructure that can scale flexibly. This is where containers can be particularly useful. Designed to be lightweight and scalable, they are ideal for distributed training across multiple machines or nodes.When paired with orchestration tools like Kubernetes, containers can support resource allocation and manage changing workloads. This orchestration allows AI teams to run multiple training jobs in parallel, scale up or down based on demand, and automate workload management, all essential steps for remaining agile even in rapid development cycles. Whether you're scaling training across cloud instances or running jobs on-premises, container orchestration brings a level of control and efficiency that traditional methods may not match.Containers have become an invaluable tool for AI development teams today. They help teams face some of the biggest challenges in AI workflows head-on and enhance speed and security in the process. Adopting an AI container approach can bring more reliability and control to every stage of the AI lifecycle. Whether you're a solo data scientist or part of a large machine learning team, containers can help you move faster, collaborate better, and deploy smarter.CONTACT:Sonakshi MurzeManagersonakshi.murze@iquanti.comSOURCE: iQuanti Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Her stage presence matched the elegance of the evening and set the tone for the grand finale. When global DJ legend Benny Benassi took to the turntables, the cloister was transformed into a pulsating open-air dance floor, with an after party of over 1,000 guests celebrating under the stars well into the night.Immersive Art, Heritage, and VisionThe atmosphere was enhanced by a massive, monumental timeline of the U.S. Polo Assn. brand's past and present, projected along the centuries-old walls of Santa Maria Novella. From 1890 to 2025, the visual depiction told the story of the sport of polo's evolution and the brand's growth into a multi-billion-dollar global fashion powerhouse.The event's creative heart came from two visionary artists. Luca Agnani brought immersive mapping effects to the architecture of the cloister, while Pietro Terzini--known for his poetic commentary on pop culture and brand identity--debuted a custom visual installation that blended U.S. Polo Assn.'s sport heritage with his signature textual style. His clever, minimalist expressions on legacy, fashion, and time left a lasting impression and underscored the evening's message: heritage can be both honored and reimagined.Celebrating the Moment, Building the Future"This was more than a trade show--it was a global celebration of U.S. Polo Assn.'s legacy, culture, and future," said J. Michael Prince, President and CEO of USPA Global, the company that manages and markets the multi-billion-dollar global U.S. Polo Assn. brand. "To be part of such an experiential and exciting event set amid the creative energy of Florence--with our amazing partners and team--was simply extraordinary.""It's a powerful reflection of sport-inspired legacy and the bright future of our global brand," he added.Lorenzo Nencini, President of Incom S.p.A. and a member of the Pitti Immagine Board, explained, "To bring our 135th Anniversary to life here in Florence was an honor beyond words. The success of our showing at Pitti Uomo alongside our celebration featuring Pietro Terzini, Clara, and Benny Benassi's finale made this a cultural moment, and an unforgettable experience for those who support U.S. Polo Assn."A Booth Experience That Stole the ShowLocated at Booth 32 in the Cavaniglia Pavilion, U.S. Polo Assn.'s presence at Pitti Uomo from June 17-20 was nothing short of iconic. The space featured a massive 30-foot video screen showcasing brand history and campaign highlights, a curated product collage wall, an elegant champagne bar, models dressed in the latest collection, a celebrity-worthy step-and-repeat, and striking life-size 3-D "135" numerals commemorating the anniversary.

New method to blend functions for soft electronics
Mixing two or three alkyl-π liquids can achieve the right combination of functions for soft electronics.TSUKUBA, Japan, June 18, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Soft electronics are an exciting and innovative class of technology that brings together bendable, stretchable semiconducting materials for applications in areas ranging from fashion to healthcare. Researchers have recently developed a new technique to adjust the properties of liquids that could be used to create soft electronics.Researchers successfully blended various combinations and proportions of three solvent-free alkyl-π room-temperature liquids that fluoresced red, green, or blue light, with no color variation within the material showing that the alkyl-π liquids had merged evenly.

Please credit the STAM Journal.Room-temperature alkylated-π molecular liquids (known as alkyl-π liquids) are an exciting new material that holds great promise for soft electronics. However, one challenge with these fascinating liquids lies in fine-tuning their physical, chemical, and electronic properties – including their ability to interact with light – to achieve the desired functionality.A new study, led by researchers from the National Institute of Materials Science (NIMS) in Tsukuba, Japan, has explored a strategy for blending together alkyl-π liquids to merge their functions homogeneously. The researchers used photoluminescent color tuning to demonstrate how well the process has worked. Their findings have been published in the journal Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.Previous efforts to control the properties of alkyl-π liquids have taken one of two approaches. The first involves incorporating small amounts of other molecules, such as dyes, into the liquid. “When modulating function by adding solid dopants, the dopant molecules have poor solubility, leading to insoluble aggregates and inconsistencies in properties such as luminescent color,” says Dr. Takashi Nakanishi of the Research Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics at NIMS.The second approach involves chemically modifying the alkyl-π liquids. While this can achieve a uniform result, designing and synthesising entirely new molecules is difficult and less time- and cost-effective.In the new study, researchers synthesised three solvent-free alkyl-π room-temperature liquids that fluoresced red, green, or blue light, and then they blended the liquids together in varying proportions. They successfully created a range of homogeneous liquid blends of colors with no color variation within the material, showing that the alkyl-π liquids had merged evenly.The team also assessed how well the two liquids had mixed by changing the temperature and studying how the flow of the mixed liquids changed over time at different temperatures. This approach further confirmed that the liquids were successfully blended together.“The liquid–liquid blending method implemented in this study for alkyl-π liquids facilitates the production of low-volatility, ink-like materials that exhibit a diverse spectrum of uniform luminescent colors, devoid of any color unevenness,” Dr. Nakanishi says. “This means it will be possible to apply or coat the desired function with simple operations such as painting, sandwiching, or soaking the liquid materials wherever needed.”The research opens the path to blending alkyl-π liquids to vary other functions, such as photoconductivity, charge retention, or gas sensing.Further informationTakashi NakanishiNational Institute for Materials Science (NIMS)nakanishi.takashi@nims.go.jpPaper: https://doi.org/10.1080/14686996.2025.2515007About Science and Technology of Advanced Materials (STAM)Open access journal STAM publishes outstanding research articles across all aspects of materials science, including functional and structural materials, theoretical analyses, and properties of materials. https://www.tandfonline.com/STAM Dr. Kazuya SaitoSTAM Publishing DirectorEmail: SAITO.Kazuya@nims.go.jpPress release distributed by Asia Research News for Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.
