MIT Technology Review's daily newsletter covers Anthropic's newly filed IPO prospectus and what it reveals about the AI investment boom, alongside features on solid-state transformers for the power grid and research into exercise-in-a-pill medicines.
MIT Technology Review reports on solid-state transformers, which combine magnetic components with high-power semiconductors to modernize the century-old grid and help meet surging electricity demand from AI data centers, EVs, and renewables.
Data centers are driving the adoption of solid-state power transformers, which offer advantages like smaller size, mass production, and efficient AC/DC conversion for AI infrastructure. This technology could help meet surging electricity demand and modernize power grids.
