Investments into downsized infrastructure can help enterprises reap the benefits of AI while mitigating energy consumption, says corporate VP and GM of data center platform engineering and architecture at Intel, Zane Ball.

Open source as a collaboration model Hi, I'm Tobias Augspurger, open source advocate, engineer and climate scientist. As former head of software development at Deutsche Post/StreetScooter, we focus…

This new material could help provide drinking water in hot, arid places

Artificial Intelligence uses too much energy. Developers need to find better ways to power it or risk adding to the climate crisis

Photosynthesis is the means by which plants, algae, and cyanobacteria extract their "food" in the form of energy-rich biomolecules from sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water. It is a complex process, from which researchers are still coaxing many new details. A team led by LMU biologists Thilo Rühle, Bennet Reiter, and Prof. Dario Leister has now solved another piece of the puzzle of this essential process and…

GERMANY: Efficient Energy, the German company producing chillers using water as the refrigerant, says it has become the refrigeration industry's first manufacturer to offer climate neutral chillers. T

Researchers in Belgium are working on a new generation of platforms to support artificial intelligence applications in an energy-efficient manner

Proof-of-Stake blockchains are now under deep scrutiny to avoid a huge amount of energy loss in PoS processing.

Intel has launched a new Bitcoin mining chip called Blockscale. It is designed for energy efficient blockchain hashing.

Researchers in the U.S. are working on 'analogue deep learning' and have devised a way to pump protons through solids at unprecedented rates, resulting in faster AI processing that uses less energy.

Lighter vehicles can travel farther on less energy, driving demand for lighter automotive components. High-performance aluminum alloys, such as alloy 7075, are among the lightest and strongest options, but they require energy-intensive production that raises costs and therefore limits their use.

Buildings are Europe's largest energy consumer. They are responsible for about 40% of the energy consumed and 36 % of greenhouse gases emitted in the EU. However, a mere 1% undergo energy renovations each year. To meet Europe's climate targets, buildings need to become much more energy efficient, and tools used to make this possible need to be improved.

A new study estimates AI could help buildings reduce their energy consumption and emissions by at least 8%.

A CPA broke down the tax credits homeowners can receive from making energy efficient improvements.

The silicon-based computer chips that power our modern devices require vast amounts of energy to operate. Despite ever-improving computing efficiency, information technology is projected to consume around 25% of all primary energy produced by 2030. Researchers in the microelectronics and materials sciences communities are seeking ways to sustainably manage the global need for computing power.

A prototype transistor built from molybdenum disulphide and carbon nanotubes rather than silicon could allow power-hungry AIs to run on smartwatches without rapidly draining the battery

Power consumption is down by a huge percent.

Scientists have developed a device that can break the principles of Kirchhoff's law of thermal radiation, disrupting the traditional relationship between absorption and emission efficiencies in an object. This novel approach could enhance the efficiency of energy-harvesting systems and affect camouf

Over the last decade, with the introduction of increasingly complex artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, the demand for computing power has risen exponentially. New, energy-efficient hardware designs could help meet this demand while reducing computing's energy use, supporting faster processing, and allowing AI training to take place within the device itself.
