To keep AI systems running, data center developers are bypassing the overloaded electric grid. They’re installing power sources like aeroderivative turbines from old 747s and massive diesel generators, creating a major environmental and economic trade-off.
In 2025, AI tools like Google’s Gemini and NotebookLM became essential for research and coding. But features bolted onto existing apps like Gmail and Word feel more like a tax than a benefit. The good stuff is getting really good, but the overpromising hasn’t stopped.
A team from the University of Innsbruck has observed a bizarre quantum state where a strongly driven system simply stops heating up. This “many-body dynamical localization” could have major implications for building stable quantum computers.
Dominion Energy has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over its decision to pause federal offshore wind leases. The move halts five projects, including Dominion’s $11.2 billion Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind farm, which was expected to start generating power next year.
Entrepreneurs often chase new strategies and tools when sales slow down. But the real path to scalable growth is doing a few simple things incredibly well, every single day.
The race for AI compute is breaking all the old rules. With Moore’s Law fading, companies like Cerebras are building radically different hardware, like a 30cm chip with 90,000 cores, to power the next generation.
As 2025 ends, business leaders are planning for a 2026 shaped by AI’s continued boom, shrinking DEI initiatives, and stricter return-to-office rules. The article argues against an AI bubble, emphasizing a seismic shift in human-machine interaction. Success will hinge on insulating against turbulence
Meta AI is the chatbot and infrastructure powering features across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. It’s based on the LLaMA models and is designed for social media, but its “open-source” claims are controversial. There’s no way to fully disable it.
A research team at the University of Houston has developed a specialized 2D thin-film dielectric material. This breakthrough aims to replace heat-generating components in chips, potentially making AI devices significantly faster while slashing their massive power consumption.
A team from the University of Glasgow has created the world’s first fully 3D-printed microscope, lenses and all. It costs less than £50 and can be built in hours. The project is already expanding access to microscopy in West Africa and changing how science is taught.
