Artificial intelligence faces an energy crisis stemming from a physical traffic jam inside modern computer chips. Processors must continually shuffle data, such as the billions of parameters in complex models, between separate computing and memory nodes. This traffic jam, known as the “von Neumann bottleneck,” hinders the speed and energy efficiency of advanced processors.

Wild pigs are generally considered among the world’s most problematic invasive mammals. But a major new study from Aarhus Universitet shows that the introduced animals may actually have beneficial effects in North American forests.
The Artemis II crew participates in the dedication of the Apollo 14 Moon tree at the Lunar Receiving Park at NASA’s Johnson Space Center. This tree is a second-generation Apollo Moon tree of the loblolly pine species.
Rising energy prices in the U.S. reduce states’ economic output, but they also prompt investments in more efficient equipment and technologies that partially offset those output losses over time, according to a new study by researchers at Penn State.
