With energy demands rising, land coalition looks out for property owners

The demand for energy is rising, as data centers start to dot the northwest Ohio landscape, more drivers plug in their cars, users keep their streaming devices rolling.

Evaporative cooling tech could curb data centers' rising energy demands

Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a new cooling technology that could significantly improve the energy efficiency of data centers and high-powered electronics. The technology features a specially engineered fiber membrane that passively removes heat through evaporation. It offers a promising alternative to traditional cooling systems like fans, heat sinks and liquid pumps. It could also reduce the water use assoc…

Cooling Without the Cost Creates a New Frontier for Data Centres Cooling Without the Cost Creates a New Frontier for Data Centres

Cooling Without the Cost Creates a New Frontier for Data Centres In the relentless race to scale up computing power and meet the demands of artificial intelligence, cloud platforms, and hyperscale data processing, one issue continues to loom large: heat. And not just a bit of warmth—serious, energy-draining, performance-choking heat. Now, a team of engineers at the University of California San Diego may have cracked the code to keeping data cent…
