This monthly round-up brings you the latest stories from the world of technology. Top tech stories: Global data centres expected to consume more electricity than Japan by 2030; Low-cost green hydrogen generating prototype produces clean water as byproduct; Lego opens a $1 billion clean energy-run factory.
There are several key energy technology trends dominating 2025. Security, costs and jobs; decarbonization; China; India; and AI all need to be carefully monitored. The World Economic Forum’s Advanced Energy Solutions community helps the energy technology community cooperate and accelerate the deployment of new energy technologies.
MIT researchers fabricated 3D chips with alternating layers of semiconducting material grown directly on top of each other. The method eliminates thick silicon between layers, leading to better and faster computation, for applications like more efficient AI hardware.
Adapting a technology Bazant realized the need for new approaches to mining lithium while working with battery companies through his lab in MIT’s Department of Chemical Engineering. His group has studied battery materials and electrochemical separation for decades.
