Your heating may soon come from a data center
Data centers consume huge amounts of electricity—and almost all of it turns into heat. Until recently, that heat was wasted. Now, operators are starting to reuse it to warm homes, power district heating networks, and even heat greenhouses and fish farms.
Across Europe, new rules and incentives are pushing data centers to feed waste heat back into cities. In places like Stockholm and Helsinki, server heat already warms thousands of apartments. The benefits go both ways: lower cooling costs for data centers, cheaper heating for communities, and fewer emissions overall.
In cold regions, reusing waste heat can cut a data center’s power demand by 10–30% and sometimes even generate new revenue. From Nordic cities to university campuses, server rooms are quietly becoming neighborhood boilers—turning digital infrastructure into a local energy source.

Sony Hands Control of Bravia TVs to TCL
Sony is selling a majority 51% stake of its TV business to China’s TCL, forming a new joint venture that will continue using the Sony and Bravia brands. The partnership, expected to start in April 2027 pending regulatory approvals, combines Sony’s high-quality picture, audio, and supply chain expertise with TCL’s advanced display technology, global reach, and cost-efficient manufacturing.
The deal marks the end of an era for Sony TVs, but could bring more affordable Bravia models blending Sony’s renowned image processing and sound with TCL’s innovation. Sony CEO Kimio Maki says the venture will create new value for customers, while TCL chair DU Juan expects it to boost brand value, scale, and optimize the supply chain.
Once a pioneer in LED, quantum dot, and OLED TVs, Sony now faces fierce competition in a low-margin market dominated by Samsung, LG, TCL, and others, making this strategic move a major shift in home entertainment.

Scientists Create Living Computers Powered by Mushrooms
Researchers at The Ohio State University have shown that common edible mushrooms like shiitake can be grown and trained to work as organic computer memory. In the study, the fungi acted as memristors, electronic components that process and store data by remembering past electrical signals.
After being grown, dehydrated, and connected to electronic circuits, the mushroom-based devices behaved similarly to traditional chips. When used as RAM, they were able to switch electrical states at up to 5,850 signals per second with about 90% accuracy. Like a real brain, performance improved when more mushrooms were added to the circuit.
Because fungi are biodegradable, inexpensive to grow, and don’t depend on rare earth materials, researchers say mushroom-powered electronics could offer a low-energy, environmentally friendly path for future computing.

⚡️Russian firm turns pigeons into brain-controlled surveillance drones using GPS
A Moscow startup says pigeons with microscopic brain electrodes completed controlled test flights over the city in late 2025.
The PJN-1 project uses neurosurgery instead of training. Electrodes linked to a small head stimulator let operators steer the birds, while a lightweight backpack carries GPS, a controller, solar panels, and a chest camera for real-time tracking. The company claims the pigeons can fly up to 300 miles a day without batteries and be deployed immediately after surgery.
Neiry says the birds can navigate tight spaces, handle harsh weather, and operate where drones face restrictions, for uses like infrastructure inspections, power line monitoring, and search-and-rescue.
Founder Alexander Panov said: “Any bird can be a carrier… ravens for heavier payloads, seagulls, and for large sea areas — albatrosses.”
The project is already raising ethical and security debates.

AI creates artificial animals that over time develop functioning vision without instruction
The most surprising aspect was that the computer’s eyes developed in the same way as those of real organisms.
Researchers in Sweden have created artificial animals that evolved vision from scratch — starting with simple light sensitivity and eventually learning to discern objects, without any instructions.
“It’s the first time AI has been used to follow how a complete vision system can arise without telling the computer how it should come to be,” said Professor Dan-Eric Nilsson of Lund University.
In a synthetic world built of code, virtual animals were given tasks like navigating and finding food. Generation by generation, those that adapted best passed on their traits. Over time, light-sensitive structures evolved into functioning eyes.
Surprisingly, the digital eyes developed along the same paths seen in nature — as if evolution followed its usual blueprint, even inside a computer.
