This is likely the closest you’ll ever get to the color "olo."

"Olo" is the pure stimulation of the eye's M-cones (mathematically represented as (0, 1, 0)), which no natural light can produce because any real spectrum stimulates multiple cone types (S, M, and L). In order to see it, researchers must map an individual retina, classify every cone, and use lasers to activate only the M-cones.

This feat was first achieved on April 18, 2025, at UC Berkeley with five participants. Professor Ren Ng called olo “more saturated than any color you can see in the real world.” Participants described it as an unprecedentedly saturated blue-green and found ordinary colors dull by comparison.

One of the largest COVID-19 vaccine studies ever (28 MILLION people in France) just dropped.

Results?
• 74% lower risk of death from severe COVID-19
• 25% lower risk of all-cause mortality
• No increase in 4-year mortality
• Vaccinated people had lower risk of death from any cause.
In short: mRNA vaccines weren’t just safe — they were protective across the board.

Morgan Stanley research projects a 44 gigawatt power gap, that current grids and construction plans cannot fill. US data centers are expected to need 69 gigawatts of power between 2025 and 2028, but only 10 gigawatts are coming from projects with their own power and 15 gigawatts from spare grid capacity, leaving a 44 gigawatt shortfall.

That 44 gigawatts is roughly the output of 44 nuclear power plants and with $60B per gigawatt capex needed. Multiplying that by the 44 gigawatt gap gives about $2.6T just for new power generation and grid upgrades, and this does not include another roughly $2T needed to actually build the data centers that will use that electricity.

So the full bill to close this near term gap is on the order of $4.6T
