In Stockholm, the heat pouring off the city's data centres is no longer wasted but piped into the district heating network, enough to warm around 30,000 apartments a year, which means the warmth thrown off by people streaming films and storing photos now quietly heats thousands of homes across the city.
4+ day, 19+ hour ago (213+ words) Stockholm found a way to stop wasting the enormous heat generated by data centres—and turned a climate problem into a solution for thousands of cold apartments. Published September 9, 2026 · How we edit Every server in a data centre is essentially…...
A single large data centre can use an estimated five million US gallons of water a day — roughly the daily demand of a town of 50,000 people — and the AI-driven construction boom is expanding into regions where water supplies are already under strain.
1+ week, 11+ hour ago (907+ words) Five million gallons is a high-end estimate, not typical use. Facility records, cooling design and summer peaks reveal how data-centre growth can strain local water supplies.

Clayton Anderson applied to become a NASA astronaut 15 times over 15 years before he was finally selected in 1998 — he later spent more than 167 days in space and completed six spacewalks.
3+ week, 2+ day ago (981+ words) What separates those who reach the stars from those who give up after rejection—and what can it teach the rest of us about resilience. By Mission Notes · Edited by Mal James Published August 21, 2026 · How we edit “I tried 15 times....
AI is creating proteins that never existed in nature — a shift that could lead to new drugs, custom enzymes, and entirely new materials evolution itself never got around to building
3+ week, 3+ day ago (396+ words) We're finally exploring the 99 percent of possible proteins that evolution never bothered to invent. Published August 21, 2026 · How we edit Evolution has had roughly four billion years, every organism that ever lived, and an unlimited budget for failure. It still only…...
Brain implants are beginning to move from science fiction into clinical trials: people with paralysis are already testing systems that can turn neural signals into cursor movement, robotic-arm control, and even decoded speech
3+ week, 3+ day ago (290+ words) The paralyzed and speech-impaired are proving that brain implants can restore communication—not in labs, but at home, at speeds approaching natural conversation. Published August 21, 2026 · How we edit Casey Harrell said close to two million words in nearly two years....
Seventy percent of Americans say they don't want a data centre near them, and a major reason is the constant low-frequency hum from cooling systems that neighbours report as sleepless nights, headaches, and nausea.
3+ week, 5+ day ago (109+ words) The invisible infrastructure powering AI comes with a very audible cost: a constant hum that's keeping neighbours awake and driving them away from their own homes. By Space Daily Editorial Team · Edited by Kiran Journals Published August 19, 2026 · How we edit…...
AI data centres are being criticised for the water they use, but one kilogram of beef can require roughly 15,000 litres to produce — a staggering reminder that some of the biggest environmental costs are still sitting on our plates
4+ week, 3+ hour ago (23+ words) The outcry over AI's water consumption obscures a harder truth: our dinner plates have been quietly guzzling vastly more all along....
In 1961 President Kennedy picked Ed Dwight to become America's first Black astronaut candidate, but NASA never selected him, so he spent decades sculpting bronze instead — and finally flew to space at 90
1+ mon, 1+ day ago (313+ words) In 1961, President John F. Kennedy's administration pushed the space program to put a Black man into astronaut training....
SpaceX has asked to operate up to one million AI satellites, but their direct waste heat would barely affect global temperature; the larger climate question is what launches and mass re-entry would put into the upper atmosphere
1+ mon, 3+ day ago (795+ words) The real climate threat from a million AI satellites may not be their heat, but the cumulative impact of launching and destroying them....
AI will not pilot future spacecraft like a human captain; its practical role is narrower and more important, choosing routes, spotting hazards and keeping missions working when Earth is minutes or hours away
1+ mon, 3+ day ago (941+ words) The real space job for AI isn't commanding starships—it's making split-second decisions when radio delays make human oversight impossible. Published August 11, 2026 · How we edit AI is likely to become important to future space travel for a fairly unglamorous reason:…...
