Co-Packaged Optics Is Killing the Pluggable Transceiver
Everyone is cheering co-packaged optics for saving power. They are missing the real story: the pluggable transceiver, the most-swapped part in any AI data center, is being quietly executed.

Nvidia and Microsoft say they've crushed AI data center water use. They're right, inside the walls. But the water did not disappear; it evaporated at the power plant instead, invisibly and at scale.

Webb's latest data on interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS reveals a 12-billion-year-old cosmic visitor carrying deuterium 30 times higher than any solar system comet — and chemistry unlike anything we have ever known.

The AI data center boom has officially gone parabolic: global spending is crossing the $1 trillion mark in 2026, power demand is set to double, and the grid can't cope.

AI racks now generate 100 kW of heat per cabinet. Liquid cooling has gone from a curiosity to a survival strategy — here's why the entire industry is making the switch.

Microsoft's Majorana 2 chip swaps aluminum for lead, boosting topological qubit parity lifetimes by 1,000-fold to 20 seconds. One material change that could redefine the road to fault-tolerant quantum computing.

In vivo CRISPR gene editing has achieved its first Phase 3 victory: a single injection of lonvo-z cut hereditary angioedema attacks by 87%, with 62% of patients remaining entirely attack-free.

China's new JUNO neutrino detector has achieved 1.6 times better precision than all previous experiments combined—using just 59 days of data—bringing the neutrino mass hierarchy closer to resolution.
