AI is driving surging demand for data centers, but they require a lot of land and huge amounts of energy. Now, some think the solution could be in space.

Ireland officially joins CERN as associate member state
Ireland has officially joined the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) as an associate member state.
CERN is an intergovernmental organisation that operates the largest particle physics laboratory in the world on the Franco-Swiss border, just outside Geneva.
The main focus of activity in CERN is the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a 27km underground ring in which protons are accelerated and collided into one another.
Hippocampus: What’s Its Function?
It converts short-term memories into long-term memories by organizing, storing and retrieving memories within your brain. Your also helps you learn more about your environment (spatial memory), so you’re aware of what’s around you, as well as remembering what words to say (verbal memory).
You have a on the left and right side of your brain, located within the temporal lobe.
The is part of your limbic system. This is a group of brain structures that regulate your smells, emotions, memories and autonomic behaviors (such as heart rate, breathing, sweating, etc.).
FSD 14.1.3 — Level 5 Autonomy is CLOSE
Join me on an exciting drive through the charming streets of Los Gatos, California, testing Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) Supervised version 14.1.3! In this real-world demo, we navigate from downtown Los Gatos to popular spots like Starbucks for a quick coffee run, McDonald’s drive-thru, the Tesla Los Gatos showroom, the Apple Store at Los Gatos Village, and finally, the scenic Vasona Lake County Park for some relaxation by the water.
Watch how FSD handles suburban traffic, intersections, pedestrian zones, and winding park roads with impressive precision—all while I supervise from the driver’s seat. Key highlights: Smooth lane changes and speed adjustments in busy areas.
Accurate navigation to chain stores and tech hubs.
Handling of roundabouts and park entrances.
Real-time commentary on FSD’s improvements in version 14.1.3, including better object detection and decision-making.
If you’re a Tesla owner, EV enthusiast, or just curious about autonomous driving tech, this video shows FSD’s capabilities in everyday scenarios. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit the bell for more Tesla FSD tests, software updates, and Bay Area drives!

MIT’s “stealth” immune cells could change cancer treatment forever
Engineered “stealth” immune cells from MIT and Harvard show promise for fast, safe, and powerful cancer treatment. Scientists have created a new and more advanced form of immune-based cancer therapy using engineered cells known as CAR-NK (natural killer) cells. Like CAR-T cells, these modified immune cells can be programmed to recognize and attack cancer, but they rely on a different type of immune cell that naturally targets abnormal or infected cells.
A team from MIT and Harvard Medical School has now developed a more effective way to engineer CAR-NK cells that dramatically reduces the chance of the body’s immune system rejecting them. Immune rejection has been one of the biggest limitations of cell-based therapies, often weakening their effectiveness.
This innovation could also make it possible to produce “off-the-shelf” CAR-NK treatments that are available immediately after diagnosis, rather than waiting weeks for custom-engineered cells. Traditional CAR-NK and CAR-T manufacturing methods typically require several weeks to complete before patients can begin treatment.
Quantum simulations that once needed supercomputers now run on laptops
UB physicists have upgraded an old quantum shortcut, allowing ordinary laptops to solve problems that once needed supercomputers. A team at the University at Buffalo has made it possible to simulate complex quantum systems without needing a supercomputer. By expanding the truncated Wigner approximation, they’ve created an accessible, efficient way to model real-world quantum behavior. Their method translates dense equations into a ready-to-use format that runs on ordinary computers. It could transform how physicists explore quantum phenomena.
Picture diving deep into the quantum realm, where unimaginably small particles can exist and interact in more than a trillion possible ways at the same time.
It’s as complex as it sounds. To understand these mind-bending systems and their countless configurations, physicists usually turn to powerful supercomputers or artificial intelligence for help.
Strong evidence supports skin-to-skin contact after birth as standard care
Immediate skin-to-skin contact between newborns and their mothers offers a better start in life, improving a number of key health metrics, according to a newly-updated Cochrane review.
The review, published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, found that babies who have skin-to-skin contact with their mother within the first hour of birth are more likely to see a variety of benefits, including exclusive breastfeeding, optimal body temperatures and blood sugar levels.
While possible benefits for the mother were also studied, such as effects on blood loss and timing of placental delivery, the evidence was less certain.
Examining Chronic Inflammation, Immune Metabolism, and T Cell Dysfunction in HIV Infection
Chronic Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection remains a significant challenge to global public health. Despite advances in antiretroviral therapy (ART), which has transformed HIV infection from a fatal disease into a manageable chronic condition, a definitive cure remains elusive. One of the key features of HIV infection is chronic immune activation and inflammation, which are strongly associated with, and predictive of, HIV disease progression, even in patients successfully treated with suppressive ART. Chronic inflammation is characterized by persistent inflammation, immune cell metabolic dysregulation, and cellular exhaustion and dysfunction.
