AI companies look to the ocean as a place to put more data centers The artificial intelligence boom is driving unprecedented demand for data centers, raising concerns about their growing energy consumption, water use and carbon footprint. These challenges are making companies look beyond traditional…

Big Tech Wants to Harvest Your Thoughts Over the past two decades, researchers using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), which tracks the iron in the hemoglobin supplying oxygen to neurons, have been building up increasingly detailed maps and inventories of the mammalian cortex. Thanks to …

A magnetic path to lower-power computing From smartphones to data centers, modern electronics rely on billions of tiny switches that consume electricity every time they turn on or off. As global demand for computing continues to grow, so does the energy required to power it. Scientists are therefore…

Tiny satellite will use the dark side of the moon to eavesdrop on whispers from the early universe A tiny UK-developed satellite, roughly the size of a small carry-on suitcase, could help answer one of the biggest questions in cosmology: What happened during the roughly 150 million years of the cosm…

Memory may not work how we thought, study of mice in artificial hibernation finds Long-term memories may not "stick" in the brain for the reasons we thought, a study of mice in artificial hibernation reveals. Instead of relying on many individual, strong links between neurons — which would typicall…

A new way to beat jet lag? Engineered cells speed circadian adjustment Adjusting to a new time zone or work schedule can leave the body's internal clock out of sync for days, contributing to sleep disruption, metabolic changes and other health consequences. Researchers at Rice University and Northwe…
