๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Chileโ€™s Atacama Desert Is Becoming Sweet Spot for Energy Storage

The Atacama desert in northern Chile is emerging as a magnet for investment in energy storage that allows vast solar plants to extend supply after sundown.

The latest project comes from KKR-backed ContourGlobal, an independent power producer that on Wednesday inaugurated a nearly $500 million solar-and-storage facility designed to store daytime solar energy and supply electricity at night. The company bills the project as Latin Americaโ€™s longest-duration utility-scale battery system.

๐Ÿค Starcloud orders Starlink lasers for orbital data center network

Starcloud has ordered optical terminals from SpaceX to use Starlink as a global data-relay network for its future orbital data centers, deepening ties with the company it is counting on to launch full-size spacecraft.

The Redmond, Washington-based startup announced a contract for more than 50 Starlink Mini Lasers, enough to equip at least 25 satellites with two terminals each as part of a constellation that ultimately envisions 88,000 orbital data centers.

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ China adds homegrown AI chips to 'secure and reliable' procurement list for the first time

China's official technology security bodies
certified nine domestically designed AI processors for state procurement, creating a brand-new "AI training and inference chips" category under the country's Anke security certification framework.

โœ… The approved products include Huawei's Ascend 310 and Ascend 910 processors, Alibaba's T-Head Zhenwu M530 and M890, and chips from Biren Technology, Hygon Information Technology, Iluvatar CoreX, MetaX, and Moore Threads.

โ—๏ธThe certifications are valid for three years and were issued jointly by the China Information Technology Security Evaluation Centre and the National Secrecy Science and Technology Evaluation Centre.

Their approvals function as a de facto procurement catalog for government agencies, central state-owned enterprises, and other entities covered by Beijing's Xinchuang initiative, the long-running campaign to replace Western hardware and software across sensitive Chinese IT systems.

๐Ÿค– New sunlight-based desalination device makes fresh water and recovers lithium

Researchers at the University of Rochester have developed a new solar-thermal desalination process that converts ocean water into fresh water using only sunlight. Even better, it solves the environmental crisis plaguing existing water plants: toxic waste.

This novel method eliminates the need for chemical pre-treatments and completely avoids the creation of toxic liquid brine. The system was tested on actual water samples from the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans. It successfully extracted fresh water while continuously shifting the remaining salts into a passive zone for later collection, maintaining peak panel efficiency throughout.

Using water samples from the Great Salt Lake, the team successfully extracted about 50% of the available lithium from the post-desalination residues. ๐Ÿ‘

๐Ÿ’Š Heart patch engineered from stem cells revved up weakened hearts

After a heart attack or other cardiovascular insult, hearts canโ€™t regenerate weakened muscles, leaving them less able to pump blood throughout the body. While medications to manage symptoms of heart failure โ€” including newer obesity drugs โ€” have been improving outcomes, many people ultimately face only two solutions: a heart transplant or heart device implant.

Now a small new study reports progress with a novel method. After people received patches of heart muscle engineered from induced pluripotent stem cells, their re-muscularized heart walls thickened, revving up pumping ability and modestly improving quality of life.

The biological ventricular assist tissue in a patch, called BioVAT for short, was conceived as a bridge to either transplant, where wait times are long, or to implantation of a left ventricular assist device, or LVAD, in end-stage heart failure. A larger trial will help determine who might be the best candidate for this approach and how durable it might be.

๐Ÿค Snowflake signs $6B deal with AWS for AI CPU chips

Cloud data storage giant Snowflake has signed a new $6 billion five-year agreement with Amazon Web Services. Snowflake has been offering its AI building tool, Cortex AI, for a couple of years now. Itโ€™s a tool that makes sense: Snowflake is where much of an enterpriseโ€™s data lives.

Of particular note is that Snowflake is signing this contract for more access to AWSโ€™s home-grown ARM-based CPU chip, Graviton. As AI moves from training to daily usage to automation via agents, CPU usage skyrockets. While GPUs handle training and reasoning, CPUs handle most of the rest of the tasks associated with AI, particularly agents.
