This move, likely accelerated by competition from Japan’s Rapidus, would position the fab to meet future AI chip demand from clients like NVIDIA. The Japanese gov
According to a senior consultant, 2026 will see ransomware go mainstream against industrial systems, while solar panels and data centers become new cyber war targets. Meanwhile, the quantum decryption threat is looming closer, with a potential “Pandora’s Box” opening around 2027 or 2028.
Data centers are the defining infrastructure of our time, but they’re almost universally designed as bland, windowless warehouses. This boring architecture is a missed opportunity to counter their well-known negative impacts. Some firms are finally starting to explore better design.
Apple, long an outlier, has laid off dozens of sales employees in a surprise move. It’s part of a broader trend where tech layoffs have become a standard tool, with over 700,000 cuts since 2022. The industry’s glamour is fading fast.
Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to confirm a supernova from when the universe was only 730 million years old. Surprisingly, the ancient stellar explosion looks a lot like ones we see nearby today.
In a unanimous order, federal energy regulators have paved the way for massive data centers to plug directly into power plants. This move aims to solve the AI boom’s insatiable power demand but raises major questions about grid costs and fairness for regular consumers.
