Climate change is a major contributor to the emissions of Microsoft and Google
Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered data centers in the US are expected to be using 8% of total power in the country by 2030, up from 3% in 2022, Goldman Sachs said. The amount of power being used by data centres in the US will be “the likes of which hasn’t been seen in a generation”, it added.
Data centers need to cool down because this climate tech startup wants to capture carbon
Data centres consume the equivalent of electricity per year as the entire country of Italy, according to Bloomberg. Google wrote in its sustainability report in 2023 that it was no longer “maintaining operational carbon neutrality”. But, starting in 2023, Google wrote in its sustainability report that it was no longer “maintaining operational carbon neutrality”.
The woolly mammoth’s genome might be reconstructed in 3D in order to revive it
A team of scientists has recreated the three-dimensional structure of DNA of an extinct animal in a living cell. It’s believed to be the first time scientists have been able to produce a multidimensional version of the genome of a complex extinct species. The feat was achieved by creating a three-dimensional version of the genome of a woolly mammoth.

breastfeeding should breakdown mothers’ bones
A French team has designed a delivery vehicle for bacteriophage-infected bacteria using components of a virus that infects bacteria. The system was refined to prevent spread of edited genes. The next step for the team is to develop mice models with microbiome-driven diseases to measure whether specific gene edits have a beneficial impact on their health.
Stars show a black hole in the sky
NASA-funded researchers have discovered a black hole eight times as massive as the Sun in a new cluster of galaxies using Hubble Space Telescope’s archives. “It could weigh as much as 50,000 Suns,” an astrophysicist said. They also reconstructed the movement of over 150,000 stars in the cluster to trace the speed of seven star clusters in the cluster.
