MIT Technology Review's daily newsletter covers the debate over open-weight AI models following Anthropic's warning about Z.ai's model, plus Fervo Energy's geothermal power ambitions backed by a $2.2 billion IPO and Google partnership. It also notes a cyberattack that overheated fridges at hundreds of French supermarkets.
An educational overview of how mathematicians and engineers model geothermal energy — covering geothermal gradients, Lagrangian-Eulerian flow models, stochastic optimization, and the U.S. Geological Survey's MODFLOW groundwater flow model — alongside the history and applications of geothermal heating.
Google has secured 396 MW of geothermal power, highlighting how the AI boom creates financial incentives for tech companies to develop challenging, continuous energy sources.
A failing geothermal plant in New Mexico was revived by Zanskar using advanced modeling and deeper drilling, doubling its electricity output and challenging conventional wisdom about geothermal potential.
This paper presents a hybrid analytical-PINN model for simulating geothermal heat exchangers in heterogeneous subsurface, removing singularities and enabling efficient neural network training via an analytical correction approach.
States are exploring converting abandoned oil and gas wells into geothermal energy wells to tap clean energy resources and reduce pollution.
