AI Is Exploding Data Center Energy Use. A Google-Created Technique May Help

[ad_1]  Tech giants are racing to ward off a carbon time bomb caused by the massive data centers they're building around the world.A technique pioneered by Google is gaining currency as more power-hungry artificial intelligence comes online: Using software to hunt for clean electricity in parts of the world with excess sun and wind on the grid, then ramping up data center operations there. Doing so could cut carbon and costs. There's an urgent need to figure out how to run data centers in ways that maximize renewable energy usage, said Chris Noble, co-founder and chief executive officer of Cirrus Nexus, a cloud-computing manager tapping data centers owned by Google, Microsoft and Amazon. The climate risks sparked by AI-driven computing are far-reaching — and will worsen without a big sh...

The smallest moon ever detected around Uranus and two around Neptune

[ad_1] Astronomers have recently made an intriguing discovery in our solar system, uncovering two tiny moons circling Neptune and one orbiting Uranus. These newfound celestial companions bring the total count of known moons around these gas giants to 16 for Neptune and 28 for Uranus.The most remarkable of these discoveries is Uranus' new moon, believed to be the smallest ever detected around the ice giant. Measuring a mere 5 miles (8 kilometers) in width, this diminutive moon completes a single orbit around Uranus every 680 days. To put its size into perspective, it's even smaller than Mars' moon Deimos, one of the tiniest known moons in our solar system, according to Carnegie Institution for Science. Currently designated as "S/2023 U1," the Uranian moon awaits an official name, likely ...

Hyperactive Sunspot Unleashes Most Powerful Solar Flare in Six Years

[ad_1] A recent surge of solar activity has captured the attention of astronomers and space weather enthusiasts alike, as a hyperactive sunspot unleashed its third X-class solar flare within a 24-hour period. This remarkable series of events marks the most potent solar eruption in six years, raising concerns about potential impacts on Earth's space environment.The latest flare, labeled X6, emerged from sunspot AR3590, a colossal dark patch on the surface of the Sun that spans several times the size of Earth. This eruption, which occurred on February 22nd, follows two earlier X-class flares recorded on February 21st, each with magnitudes of X1.8 and X1.7, respectively. However, the X6.3 flare dwarfs its predecessors, showcasing the Sun's most intense outburst since 2017. The significance...
