Climate tech startup aims to store carbon in oceans and reshape the energy sector
Equatic will absorb CO2 and pump it into the ocean, while also producing hydrogen as fuel, or at least that's the plan
In a nutshell: A Los Angeles startup is making waves by claiming it can simultaneously address two major climate challenges: removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and storing it in the ocean, while also producing emissions-free hydrogen fuel. The concept sounds promising, but not everyone is on board with it.
Startup seeking to integrate quantum computing into real-world apps raises $10M
Let's see if they actually pull it off
Nvidia, AMD, and Intel invest in Ayar Labs to enable futuristic light-based chips
Ultra-low latency and crazy efficiency
New $150M facility will fire 7-petawatt lasers to (hopefully) achieve nuclear fusion
Forward-looking: Fusion energy is often regarded as the holy grail of power generation because it harnesses the same atomic process that powers the sun. The concept involves forcing atomic nuclei to fuse together, unleashing immense energy. If scientists can crack the code using lasers, it could lead to a virtually limitless supply of safe, sustainable energy without any carbon emissions.

The company is one of the three largest venture-backed startups ever
Why it matters: We knew OpenAI was hot, but maybe not this hot. The company has just raised a startling $6.6 billion, leading to a valuation of $157 billion. Even by Silicon Valley standards this is a lot of money. OpenAI is close-lipped about how it will invest the capital, only saying it will accelerate AI research and increase its compute capabilities.
