Data centres require huge amounts of energy—but reusing their waste heat to warm our homes is a massive opportunity. Infomaniak shows us how it's done.
Our modern world relies on carbon-emitting supercomputers. Enter: MeluXina, a supercomputer setting the standard for green computing power.
From fish farms to swimming pools to buildings to greenhouses, all could make the most of waste heat from data centres.
New study reveals how Photonic Integrated Circuits could reduce data centre energy consumption by replacing electrons with light particles.
Data centres consume huge amounts of energy – and generate plenty of heat in the process. In Sweden, thousands of households are already heated with server heat. Could this be a potential source of clean energy?
What if the heat from, say, server farms or subway tunnels can be used to warm homes? Waste heat recovery technologies seek to close the energy loop.
Although the toxic fumes they emit pose a serious health threat, open fires are still a common site in homes in resource-limited countries. Now Fraunhofer IBP has developed a new low-tech furnace that allows you to heat your home by burning trash - with absolutely no risk to human health or the environment.
Scientists in Sweden pilot a fish farm heated by a local power plant, where different fish species cohabit and utilise each other's waste.
Could USP lasers be an efficient alternative to micro-machining manufacturing? The METAMORPHA project is investigating their potential.
