A threatening email was sent to Gandhi College and to Joan of Arc Collegein Fougeres (Ille-et-Vilaine) this Monday, November 6.

They report the presence of a bomb in each of these two establishments.

Immediately, management made clear out the people present.

There police was warned and came to secure the surroundings of the two colleges to which access was obviously forbidden until further notice, time to remove doubts about the presence, or not, of an explosive device.

In total, more than 900 students and around sixty teachers are involved.

At the Guéhenno vocational high school too

The Jean-Guéhenno vocational high school in Ferns was also targeted by a threatening email.

The students of the establishment were transferred to the general high school, a few hundred meters next door.

The police intervened on the spot. Once the doubts are resolved, the students can return to the vocational high school.

They risk big

Since mid-October, bomb threats have multiplied in France, in schools, museums and airports.

Portland Teachers’ Strike Continues; school is canceled again on Monday



Negotiations between Portland Public Schools and the Portland Association of Teachers continued Saturday and Sunday, but the two sides had not reached an agreement as of Sunday evening. With teachers not planning to report to school Monday, the district is expected to cancel classes for a third day, following cancellations on Nov. 1 and 2.

“Given the current state of negotiations and the PAT’s confirmation of its intention to maintain the work stoppage, there will be no school tomorrow,” wrote the PPS in a letter addressed Sunday evening to the families. “We are ready to continue meeting tomorrow and hope PAT remains at the table with us. We remain committed to continually meeting and compromising within our fixed resources until we reach a fair settlement.

Teachers in Portland Public Schools, Oregon’s largest school district, have been on strike since November 1. The PAT and the PPS differ, among other things, on salary expenses and time planning for staff and teachers.

Union members said Saturday that if a deal is not reached by Sunday, picketing will resume at school sites at 8 a.m. Monday.

Transparent solar panels are not a distant dream. A school in Japan is using them as windows


What if instead of limiting solar panels to rooftops, we made them transparent to use as windows? The idea of ​​generating energy with the glass of our buildings and vehicles is nothing new, but it is increasingly viable thanks to research into new materials.

The Japanese company inQs pursues this idea with the quartz photovoltaic solar glass: SQPV, for its acronym in English. It is not the first company to develop a crystal capable of producing electricity and letting light pass through at the same time, but instead of staying in the prototyping phase, it is already testing it in the real world.

The future of sustainable buildings

Producing electricity and letting light pass through to illuminate our buildings requires a simpler technology than it may seem. Instead of opaque (black or blue) silicon cells, solar glass uses transparent silicon quartz capable of harvesting solar energy through catalysts and electrodes. The key is that it does not capture all the visible light: it lets 75% pass through to illuminate the room and compensates for the loss of efficiency by capturing ultraviolet and infrared light.

inQs photovoltaic glass

Unveiled at CES 2024, inQs’ SQPV has been described as the “world’s most advanced and efficient transparent solar glass.” It is manufactured by sandwiching nanomaterials of various types between two 2 mm sheets of conductive glass. It can capture energy on both sides of the glass and, thanks to the use of infrared light, it also works on cloudy days and even indoors.

In addition, it reduces the increase in interior temperature by up to 44%, a thermal insulation effect that helps save energy while generating it.

Paradoxically, the first use that has been given to the SQPV in the real world is a greenhouse. Kaijō High School in Tokyo installed a greenhouse with the windows made of transparent solar panels from inQs. The purpose of this collaboration is to inspire students with technology, especially technology that helps reduce our carbon footprint.

“The inside of the product itself, everything inside it, is made from very, very easy to find materials,” inQs international director Rike Wootten told CNET. “There are no metals or rare earths, and the panel itself can be easily and safely recycled in contrast to conventional solar panels, which can be difficult to recycle due to the materials they use.”

What we do not know, because inQs has not revealed it despite winning an innovation award at CES 2024, is the electrical power and energy efficiency of its product, basic data to compare its performance with conventional solar panels. Be that as it may, inQs is already producing the SQPV in its factory.
