Startup Develops Supercritical CO2 System to Boost Data Center Power Efficiency

A startup is developing a technology that uses supercritical carbon dioxide to generate power for data centers. The system is designed to attach to existing gas turbines, improving their overall energy efficiency. Supercritical CO2, which behaves as both a liquid and a gas under specific pressure and temperature conditions, can transfer energy more effectively than conventional methods. However, the technology does not eliminate carbon emissions entirely, as it still relies on gas turbines. The innovation targets the growing energy demands of data centers while offering a partial efficiency improvement over current power systems.

Biohacker Kate Tolo Pursues Extreme Female Longevity Protocol Inspired by Bryan Johnson

Kate Tolo, girlfriend of prominent biohacker Bryan Johnson, has embarked on an intensive health optimization regimen modeled after his well-known anti-aging program. Her protocol includes unconventional tests such as monitoring physiological responses during her menstrual cycle and exposure to extreme heat. Tolo states her goal is to develop longevity and biohacking insights specifically tailored to women's biology. She frames the effort as a mission to serve roughly half the global population, arguing that most existing biohacking research is male-centric. The project positions her as a female counterpart to Johnson in the growing biohacking movement.
