Data centers need reliable power for AI tasks like training models. To meet this demand, companies are pairing fast-responding batteries with slower natural gas generators. This combo helps fill sudden energy gaps that gas plants can't handle alone. Batteries discharge power quickly, protect gas tur
Claude isn’t just a chat window anymore—it can now borrow your apps to handle real-life tasks. Think of it like a helper that can peek into your calendar, suggest hiking trails, or summon a ride without you opening a single app. The update adds over 20 apps to Claude’s toolkit, from food delivery to

A proposed bill, HB 1210, would ban the use of algorithms that adjust prices for groceries, hotels, and other goods based on personal data. The idea is to prevent stores from charging one person more because
Google has just launched two AI research tools called Deep Research and Deep Research Max, designed to do deep searches across the internet and private company data. Unlike older AI assistants that only scan public web pages, these new tools can also dig into a company’s internal spreadsheets, datab
The Atlantic ocean has a giant conveyor belt that moves warm water north and cold water south. Some news pieces say this system might stop soon, causing very bad winters in Europe and chaos worldwide. That claim is built mainly on computer tests that use extreme pollution guesses, not on real measur
The Trump administration has asked the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to gather detailed medical claims from insurers for more than 8 million federal workers, retirees and their families. The request would let OPM access names, diagnoses and drug information that normally stay private. Health
Virginia hosts the world’s biggest cluster of data centers, a stretch known as “Data Center Alley. ” The region grew because it sits close to Washington, D. C. , offers cheap land, and has long‑standing tax breaks. Today, most of these facilities are in Loudoun, Prince William and Fairfax counties,
Doctors often check sperm count and movement to judge male fertility, but this method misses important details. A deeper look at sperm DNA damage might reveal hidden fertility problems. One test, called SCSA, can spot this damage but is expensive and hard to run. New AI tools could make these checks
