How Much Power Does AI Really Need, and Why Are We Still Squeezing the Earth to Find It

Data centres keep drawing more electricity, and the usual answer is more power plants. A journey from a single question on a screen down to the physics of neutrinos asks whether the question itself needs rethinking.

The Silent Tax Everyone Pays: What a Home's Idle Hours Actually CostA house is never actually off. It has a baseline hum, a floor of demand that persists through the quietest hours of every day — and that floor turns out to be a much larger part of the story than the number at the bottom of a monthly bill suggests.By Science Gazette17 Sept 2026

The Grid Is Becoming the Scarce ResourceSix stories from four continents in a single week describe the same wall from six directions. The energy question of the 21st century is no longer only how much electricity we can generate — it is how much infrastructure we must build to move it.By Science Gazette11 Sept 2026
