How Data Is Reshaping Science – Part 1: From Observation to Simulation
From the early breakthroughs of the telescope, which expanded the universe; from Schleiden and Schwann recognizing plant cells to the microscope, which revealed the cell; and from Rutherford defining the nucleus of the a Read more…
Powering Data in the Age of AI: Part 4 – Geopolitics of the New AI Cold War
We started the Powering Data in the Age of AI series with an examination of what might be AI’s most ignored constraint: energy. Not a shortage of models, but simply not enough power to run them as things stand at the m Read more…
The Quiet Rise of AI’s Real Enablers
The future of AI may depend less on algorithms and more on the people who manage the data. As enterprises scramble to scale their AI efforts, one thing is becoming clear: data engineers are no longer behind the scenes. T Read more…
Powering Data in the Age of AI: Part 3 – Inside the AI Data Center Rebuild
In the first two parts of this series, we looked at how AI’s growth is now constrained by power — not chips, not models, but the ability to feed electricity to massive compute clusters. We explored how companies are Read more…
Powering Data in the Age of AI: Part 2 – Nuclear, Fusion, and the Race for Compute Sovereignty
AI is often about scale, but what “scale” means is beginning to shift. For years, that meant throwing more GPUs at the problem, adding storage and shoving through bigger datasets. Which none of that does you any good Read more…
