Clean Energy Pledges Meet Their Hardest Test Inside the Data Center
Every time a large language model answers a question, something burns. Not metaphorically.
The Circuit Nobody Built Yet: Neutrinos, Jobs, and the Communities Waiting for Both
The science is moving fast. The question nobody's asking is what it means for the rest of us.
Neutrinovoltaic? What Happens When You Actually Test the Arguments Instead of Repeating Them
The objections are familiar. The answers, examined independently, are harder to dismiss than they first appear.
A Tiny Adjustment in a Lab Changed What AI Hardware Might Cost to Run
Three years of failed experiments. Then, in late November, the results changed. Babak Bakhit, a researcher at the University of Cambridge's Department…
Rethinking Intelligence: A Conversation with Holger Thorsten Schubart
On AI, Intent Disambiguation, and Why the Most Important Step in Understanding New Technology Is Often the One Nobody Takes.
The Waterlogged Problem at the Heart of Clean Hydrogen Power
For all the promise hydrogen fuel cells have carried for decades, a remarkably mundane obstacle has kept them from fulfilling it.
Inside the Material That Turns Cosmic Particles into Electrical Current
Before any generator hums, before any turbine turns, there is a material. Thin enough to be invisible to the naked eye. Quiet enough to mistake for inert.

The Deepest River: Inside the Race to Harvest Power From 60 billion Ghost Particles
They pass through your body, your walls, and the Earth itself without stopping. Now a team of engineers believes these invisible particles could reshape…
The Symbiosis: How Invisible Particles May Power the Machines That Learn
Artificial intelligence consumes power at an accelerating rate. A technology built on harvesting cosmic radiation offers a solution that closes the loop…

Please drive carefully: scientists plan to transport volatile antimatter for first time
Cern researchers are testing traps capable of moving antimatter, which explodes into energy as soon as it comes into contact with regular matter
The Sun and Moon Cast “Shadows” in Cosmic Rays
Earth is continuously bombarded by cosmic rays—extremely energetic particles (mostly protons and atomic nuclei) coming from space.
