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.
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.
A low-cost, scalable fabrication technology developed at MIT can integrate fast, efficient gallium nitride transistors onto a standard silicon chip, which could boost the performance of electronic chips used in high-bandwidth applications like video calling and real-time deep learning.
Economists used new methods to examine how many U.S. jobs have been lost to machine automation, and how many have been created as technology leads to new tasks. On net, and particularly since 1980, technology has replaced more U.S. jobs than it has generated.
