AI’s insatiable demand for power has tech companies hunting for new energy sources — a search that has fueled competition and investment into fusion and fission startups. For many, natural gas is the easy answer for 24/7, baseload power. It’s tested, inexpensive, and widely available. But the war in the Middle East exposed its vulnerable supply chain after Iranian drone strikes took out a significant portion of natural gas infrastructure in Qatar, a major exporter. At the same time, surging demand has created a waitlist for gas turbines so long that today’s orders probably won’t be fulfilled until the early…

Argonne Researchers Develop AI System to Enhance Electric Grid Efficiency and Reliability March 27, 2026 — Analyzing and managing the electric power grid are complex tasks. They involve many different types of simulations, from reliability checks to scheduling and contingency planning. Each simulation requires specialized tools, programming skills and deep technical knowledge. These disconnected workflows can slow down decision-making when fast, clear actions are most needed. (leolintang/Shutterstock) But recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI), especially in systems that can act independently (called ​“agentic AI”), offer a way to simplify this complexity. These AI agents can orchestrate multiple tasks…

Physical Intelligence, the two-year-old San Francisco robotics startup, is in discussions to raise about $1 billion in new funding at a valuation exceeding $11 billion, according to Bloomberg.

“As a proof of concept, it is impressive,” says Keren Ladin, a bioethicist who has focused on organ transplantation and perfusion at Tufts University. “These are early days.” It might not sound like much, but 24 hours is a long time for an organ to be out of the body. Maintaining a donated uterus for that long could expand the options for uterus transplant, a fairly new procedure offered to some people who want to be pregnant but don’t have a functional uterus, says Gerald Brandacher, professor of experimental and translational transplant surgery at the Medical University of Innsbruck in…

For the better part of a decade, Whoop sold itself as a secret weapon for serious athletes. LeBron James was convinced to slap on the company’s fitness band in Whoop’s first year. Michael Phelps came soon after. Other Whoop wearers include Cristiano Ronaldo, Patrick Mahomes, and Rory McIlroy. The message to the public? The world’s best performers track their bodies with this device, and you can, too. It has worked. Whoop, the Boston-based health wearable company that Will Ahmed founded in his senior year at Harvard, now operates in more than 200 countries, and, according to Ahmed, grew revenue more…
