PFAS, the notorious “forever chemicals,” are a massive environmental headache. BioLargo says its new Aqueous Electrostatic Concentrator (AEC) can remove over 99% of them from water, including the hard-to-catch short-chain varieties, for a fraction of the cost of existing methods. The first commercia
Data centers are officially the “engines of modern life” in the UK, designated as critical national infrastructure. This move aims to scale digital capabilities for an AI economy, but it’s running into major real-world hurdles like hardware shortages and insane heat output from AI servers.
A new forecast outlines the biggest digital dangers on the horizon. The threats range from AI-driven scams to a dangerously centralized internet, and they’re evolving faster than ever.
In a massive bet on energy infrastructure, Google’s parent Alphabet is acquiring Intersect Power for $4.75 billion. The deal hands Google several gigawatts of in-development power and data center projects, crucial for its AI ambitions.
A new report shows 57% of European organizations are reshaping cloud strategy for sovereignty. But the path is fraught with higher costs, technical compromises, and complex new partnerships that may not deliver true independence.
A new report highlights a massive blind spot in data center metrics. Identical power and PUE ratings can hide a facility producing nearly twice the usable compute of another. The race for new megawatts is overlooking the power already stranded by thermal constraints.
The number of large hyperscale data centers has nearly tripled since 2018, now hitting 1,300 globally. The AI boom, especially post-ChatGPT, is accelerating investment, with the U.S. holding 55% of total capacity.
A major film studio in Georgia is looking at converting its 185,000 sq ft facility into a data center. The move comes as production spending in the state has plummeted from previous highs, creating an oversupply of studio space.
Amazon is in talks to invest at least $10 billion into OpenAI, a deal experts call a “framework” for circular financing. The move aims to validate Amazon’s AI chips while giving OpenAI the compute it desperately needs without cash.
A Financial Times report claims funding for a massive Oracle data center for OpenAI has stalled, sparking a broad sell-off in AI and tech stocks. Oracle denies the report, but investor anxiety about soaring AI debt is clearly mounting.
