A Pennsylvania coal plant site is getting a high-tech second life. The 47.2-acre property sold for $14.3 million and is slated for a massive data center campus built for AI workloads.
Georgia Power is asking regulators for permission to spend over $15 billion to increase electricity capacity by 50% in six years, primarily for AI data centers. The decision, set for a December 19 vote, has become a major political issue as customers fear subsidizing tech giants.
The AI gold rush in the auto industry is ending. A new Gartner forecast says the vast majority of carmakers will slash their ambitious AI investment plans within five years. This signals a harsh reality check after a period of what analysts call “AI euphoria.”
A team at Atlantic Technological University has developed a process using a unique ionic liquid to stabilize a key component in lithium-ion batteries. This could address the persistent safety issues of thermal runaway and fires, like those seen in the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 recall.
The Stargate AI data center project in Texas just got $600M more funding. But building these massive AI factories fast enough is only half the battle. The real challenge is powering them without breaking the grid.
Los Angeles has officially stopped using coal-fired electricity. Its replacement is a first-of-its-kind power plant in Utah that will burn a mix of natural gas and green hydrogen, aiming for 100% hydrogen eventually.
The massive push to revive U.S. semiconductor manufacturing is hitting a practical wall: the factory floor. New analysis argues that without digitizing fab operations with predictive tech, the billions in investment could be undermined by inefficiency and downtime.
Wizerr AI has launched its Agentic BOM Engine, a new platform aimed at transforming electronics manufacturing. It uses AI to analyze component datasheets and optimize bill-of-materials decisions with procurement and engineering insights.
STMicroelectronics has signed a 15-year Power Purchase Agreement with French solar developer TSE Energy. The deal covers 43MW of solar capacity from three parks, set to begin delivering power in 2027.
With U.S.-India trade hit by 50% tariffs, small exporters are turning to AI-powered platforms for survival. These tools help manage volatile supply chains and find new markets, but they highlight a brutal new digital divide in global trade.
