Purdue University researchers have developed the world's whitest paint, reflecting 98.1% of sunlight and cooling surfaces by up to 8°F during the day. This innovation could reduce the need for air conditioning, offering a sustainable solution to combat global warming. #WhitestPaint# #PurdueInnovation# #PassiveCooling# #EnergyEfficiency# #ClimateTech# #SustainableDesign#

Getting to 1000x energy efficiency in AI isn’t about one breakthrough. It’s about solving two hard constraints: 1. Data movement dominates energy 2. Amdahl’s Law caps system-level gains Which means you have to rethink everything: models, hardware, and how they’re designed together. If this kind of problem excites you, you’ll enjoy our latest blog:

CHINA isn’t just making display screens — it’s building astonishing technologies that are waterproof, shatter‑resistant, stretchable and compressible, with ultra‑vivid colors and exceptional energy efficiency… and the features are far too many to count.

The next era of #AI# #infrastructure# will be defined by more than scale. It requires resilience, energy efficiency, and intelligent data center architecture built for sustained high-performance workloads. At Oslo Tech Show 2026, Haakon Bryhni, Head of Tydal Data Center under Bitdeer Technologies Group, will share his perspective on resilient networks, edge computing, and the evolution of next-generation data centers supporting AI at scale. With a background spanning research and real-world deployment, his insights highlight how infrastructure design is becoming a critical factor in AI performance and reliability. A valuable session for those building, operating, or scaling AI infrastructure. Don’t miss it ✨: #AIInfrastructure# #DataCenter# #neocloud# #bitdeerai#

The first African laureate of the prestigious Pritzker Prize, architect and National Geographic 33 changemaker Francis Kéré has long been praised for his approach to energy efficiency in his projects. Learn more about Kéré's work: #NatGeo33#

UK sovereign AI is becoming reality. Together with Argyll , we’ve launched a sovereign AI inference cloud built on SambaNova’s full-stack AI platform — designed for performance, efficiency, and control without the trade-offs of traditional infrastructure. As AI adoption scales, sovereignty can’t just be a label. It has to be demonstrated through infrastructure ownership, operational control, energy efficiency, and where intelligence is deployed. This deployment delivers: ⚡ High-performance AI inference 🌍 Renewable-powered infrastructure 🔋 ~10kW rack density with air-cooled systems 🏗️ Disaggregated architecture across UK data centers 🧠 SambaNova RDUs for efficient large-scale AI This is what the next generation of AI infrastructure looks like.

A single bird has completed a journey covering nearly one-third of Earth’s circumference, without stopping to eat, drink, or rest. A five-month-old Bar-tailed Godwit, set a new record for the longest nonstop flight ever documented in a bird. It traveled from Alaska to Tasmania, Australia, covering about 8,425 miles in just over 11 days. This remarkable migration took place entirely over the Pacific Ocean, with no opportunity to land. What makes the achievement even more striking is that it was the bird’s first migration, yet it navigated thousands of miles of open ocean with extraordinary accuracy. The journey is made possible by extreme physiological adaptation. Before departure, the bird builds up large fat reserves, nearly half its body weight, to serve as fuel. At the same time, some internal organs, including parts of the digestive system, temporarily shrink to reduce weight and conserve energy. Unlike seabirds that rely heavily on gliding, this young godwit maintained continuous flapping flight for the entire trip, enduring changing winds and weather conditions along the way. Researchers at the Pūkōroro Auckland Shorebird Centre say findings like this are reshaping our understanding of what migratory birds can achieve. Their endurance, navigation, and energy efficiency highlight biological capabilities that rival even advanced human engineering.
