  How AI Data Centres Are Heating the Environment: The Hidden Cost of the AI Revolution New research reveals that the infrastructure powering artificial intelligence is generating enormous amounts of waste heat, raising concerns about local environmental impacts. The race to build artificial intelligence has sparked a global boom in data centre construction. From remote deserts in the United States to industrial zones in Europe and Asia, giant warehouses packed with computer servers are working around the clock to train and operate increasingly powerful AI models. Yet while much attention has focused on the staggering amounts of electricity and water these facilities consume, scientists are now drawing attention to another consequence that often goes unnoticed: heat. New studies suggest that AI-focused data centres are not only consuming resources at unprecedented levels but are also releasing significant amounts of waste heat into surrounding environments. Researchers warn that as...

  Robo-Top Revolution: The Machines That Could Make Your Next T-Shirt New generation of garment-making robots could reshape the fashion industry and challenge decades of labor-intensive clothing production For generations, the journey of a simple t-shirt has begun in sprawling factories where thousands of workers sit shoulder-to-shoulder behind sewing machines, stitching fabric into garments destined for store shelves around the world. While robots have mastered assembling cars, performing delicate surgical procedures, and sorting cargo at major airports, one task has stubbornly resisted automation: making clothes. That reality may be changing. A new wave of robotics companies is developing technology capable of manufacturing garments with minimal human involvement. Among the firms leading the effort is California-based CreateMe, whose engineers have abandoned one of the oldest principles of clothing production sewing itself. Instead of needles and thread, their robots use advanced...
