Meanwhile, the US has built just two reactors in that time—Unit 3 and Unit 4 at Plant Vogtle in Georgia. Smaller reactors are attracting a lot of excitement and investment, though. A microreactor developer just saw its reactor reach criticality in a new Department of Energy pilot program. The world is racing to meet rising electricity demand, and many countries are interested in energy sources, like nuclear power, that don’t come with greenhouse-gas emissions. The key question: Which of these strategies will really pay off in terms of getting electrons on the grid quickly?   Today, the US and France are…

According to the post, Huawei describes supply chain shifts in the global chip industry alongside the high demands of AI systems as the two main factors that have put the company under “ever-increasing cost pressure”. In short, sky-rocketing RAM and storage prices are to blame. Thus,…

Image Credit: Axiom SpaceThe new Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment looks like gym wear and works like life support.Fashion houses and rocket science once in a blue moon share a workshop, so my eyebrows shot up the second Prada strolled back into the spotlight alongside Axiom Space. The duo just pulled the cover off the Liquid Cooling & Ventilation Garment, the inner layer NASA astronauts will wear beneath their moon suits.

(I asked Shah if they were considering any worst-case scenarios more on the doomer end of the spectrum, such as widespread economic collapse. “Certainly not if we’re talking by the end of the year,” he said. That’s only six months away! He laughed. “Okay, a while after that.”) Shah and Fox both think that the only way to understand what might happen when large numbers of multi-agent systems interact with each other is to run realistic simulations. They want researchers to drop AI agents into sandboxes and study what they do. You can’t predict what’s going to happen by studying…
