Curbing the Carbon Footprint of Machine Learning

The massive size of datasets and the number of calculations required to train Machine Learning algorithms result in a massive cloud-server workload with a significant carbon footprint. The European SustainML project meant to devise an innovative development framework that will…

Revolutionary technology can generate power out of thin air

Scientists at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, have made a groundbreaking discovery with their “Air-gen” device, which generates electricity from ambient air humidity. The device works with materials containing holes less than 100 nanometers in diameter, allowing water droplets to…
