As AI workloads push data centers to their limits, the industry is adopting utility-grade power solutions and liquid cooling technology. These engineered building systems enable rapid deployment and handle unprecedented power densities while maintaining critical uptime requirements.
Researchers at KAIST have developed a groundbreaking quantum process tomography technique that can efficiently characterize complex 16-mode optical quantum operations. This overcomes the exponential scaling problem that previously limited analysis to just a few modes. The technology acts like a CT s
Microsoft announced a wave of new AI features for Windows at its Ignite event, including AI agents, writing assistance, and voice commands. But the company faces significant backlash from users who want Microsoft to focus on fixing Windows bugs and improving reliability instead of pushing more AI.
Apple has rolled out the third public beta of macOS Tahoe 26.2, bringing a new Edge Light feature for video calls. The feature creates a light border around your display to mimic a physical ring light. It’s available on Apple silicon Macs and uses the Neural Engine for optimal face positioning.
Cloudflare experienced a major outage Tuesday morning that disrupted internet traffic globally. The company blamed “unusual traffic” spikes that began around 6:20 AM ET, affecting millions of websites that rely on its security and performance services.
Apple has seeded the third developer betas for watchOS 26.2 and tvOS 26.2. The updates include refined sleep tracking metrics and new kid-friendly profile options. Both are expected to launch publicly between December 9 and 16.
Windows is celebrating its 40th anniversary on November 20, but the milestone comes as Microsoft pushes controversial AI features. The company’s Copilot assistant is proving unreliable while making the operating system feel more bloated than ever. Longtime users and developers are expressing frustra
A breakthrough from CUNY and UT Austin researchers reveals how to make dark excitons shine brightly. These quantum states could enable faster, smaller, and more energy-efficient technologies.
Photonics startup Ayar Labs is collaborating with Global Unichip Corp to integrate optical I/O chiplets into XPU reference designs. The technology promises over 200 Tbps bandwidth, potentially making future interconnects 10x faster than today’s fastest options. This could enable AI accelerators to s
The traditional BIOS that powered PCs for decades has been completely replaced by UEFI firmware since around 2012. Despite the technical upgrade, most people still call it “BIOS” out of habit. The modern UEFI system enables faster boot times, better security, and support for today’s massive storage
