Low-cost innovation regulates building temperatures while slashing energy use

Sweating Planet: Rising temperatures are transforming vast regions of the planet into unbearably hot environments. While air conditioning is effective at cooling indoor spaces, it is also an enormous drain on energy resources. As a result, scientists are seeking innovative solutions that can provide comparable cooling without consuming excessive energy or resources.

Testing reveals that some Nvidia AIB partners are using cheap thermal paste resulting in high GPU temperatures

Too hot to handle Igor's Lab investigated community feedback that some owners of GeForce RTX 40 series AIB cards are hitting hotspot temperatures of 100° C after a few months of operating within acceptable ranges. GPU hotspot temperature refers to the maximum temperature recorded in a specific area of a GPU, usually either on the GPU die itself or the voltage regulators (VRM).

Breakthrough 2D quantum cooling system is colder than space

Novel device converts heat into electricity at ultra-low temperatures
Forward-looking: A research team at EPFL University in Switzerland has created a 2D quantum computing system that can get colder than outer space. This is a major breakthrough for quantum computing, as advancements have been hindered by conventional cooling methods. This new technology uses off-the-shelf parts and can be easily implemented into existing quantum computers.
