Effective infrastructure enables universal data intelligence
Infrastructure modernization As data growth accelerates and data strategies are refined, organizations are under pressure to modernize their data infrastructure in a way that is cost-effective, secure, scalable, socially responsible, and compliant with regulations. Organizations with legacy infrastructures often own hardware from multiple vendors, particularly if IoT and OT data is involved. Their challenge, then, […]
The Download: carbon-capturing super trees, and DeepMind’s sorting breakthrough
Biotech startup Living Carbon is trying to design trees that grow faster and grab more carbon than their natural peers, as well as trees that resist rot, keeping that carbon out of the atmosphere. In February, the startup planted the first forest in the United States that contains genetically engineered trees. But there’s still much […]
This unlikely fuel could power cleaner trucks and ships
Shipping out Companies trying to cut their climate impacts in the marine shipping sector are looking to alternative fuels, including methanol and ammonia. Amogy’s system could be a better option than combustion engines, though, since it would limit pollution that can trap heat in the atmosphere and harm human health and the environment. I’ll note […]
Inside the quest to engineer climate-saving “super trees”
Since neither Mellor nor Hall had substantial experience with genetic transformation, they enlisted outside scientists to do some of the early work. The company focused on replicating Ort’s enhanced-photosynthesis pathway in trees, targeting two species: poplars, which are popular with researchers because of their well-studied genome, and loblolly pines, a common timber species. By 2020, […]

AI no antidote to healthcare sector woes
With hospitals overwhelmed and patients facing big delays, it’s tempting to think that the health sector is a prime candidate to receive a much-needed productivity boost from artificial intelligence. Despite its well-proven use in medical diagnostics and other areas of healthcare, low trust in AI among patients and clinicians alike is a big barrier to […]
Dozens of popular Minecraft mods found infected with Fracturiser malware
Getty Images reader comments 16 with A platform that provides plugin software for the wildly popular Minecraft game is advising users to immediately stop downloading or updating mods after discovering malware has been injected into dozens of offerings it makes available online. The mod-developer accounts were hosted by CurseForge, a platform that hosts accounts and […]
Google DeepMind’s game-playing AI just found another way to make code faster
DeepMind compares AlphaDev’s discovery to one of AlphaGo’s weird but winning moves in its Go match against grandmaster Lee Sedol in 2016. “All the experts looked at this move and said, ‘This isn’t the right thing to do. This is a poor move,’” says Mankowitz. “But actually it was the right move, and AlphaGo ended […]
The Download: ocean-based carbon removal, and Musk’s untweeted trip to China
The news: A nonprofit formed by Mike Schroepfer, Meta’s former chief technology officer, has spun out a new organization aimed at speeding up research into ocean alkalinity enhancement—a potential way to use the seas to suck up and store away even more carbon dioxide. The Carbon to Sea Initiative will get $50 million over the […]
