The race to build orbital data centres, and why doubts are mounting (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Data centres, both existing and planned, are increasingly unwelcome to their human neighbours. They consume a disproportionate amount of energy and squander vast amounts of water and power to cool themselves. Furthermore, the reason they’re exploding in number — artificial intelligence — is at the same time loved and loathed, abused and feared. But don’t expect their expansion to be tamed any time soon — quite the contrary. As ‘hyperscalers’ — data centre behemoths such as Google, Microsoft or A
How wildfires could push the climate crisis beyond repair (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Few things can be scarier than wildfires. Almost nothing, though, can be more frightening than a thunderstorm born from extraordinary heat. A pyrocumulonimbus cloud is a column of hot air, smoke and ash that behaves like the updraft of an ordinary thunderstorm but is far more concentrated and turbulent. If the updraft is strong enough, the cloud reaches high into the troposphere, sometimes extending into the stratosphere, ten or more kilometres up. Such violent convection generates lightning, wh

How PFAS are poisoning our world (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Long-lasting human bonds form the foundation of our social and familial fabric, as celebrated in wedding vows. However, they are also inherently fragile. Human history is dotted with conflicts and betrayals, somehow obscuring the fact that our millennia-long adventure has been fundamentally blessed by a non-zero-sum game of bonded cooperation – a civilisational trajectory famously mapped out in Robert Wright’s book Nonzero. We also happen to be here because of another type of bond – chemical bon
