AI wants to save the planet — but who powers the AI?

Five articles at the intersection of AI, energy policy, emerging technologies, and fundamental physics.

AI promises to transform the energy sector — but it needs enormous amounts of electricity to do so. This week's articles explore the tension: the policy gaps no one has filled, the infrastructure bottlenecks that could stall progress, and the fundamental physics that might offer a way through.

⚛ Personality of the Week

Enrico Fermi (1901–1954)

The man who named the neutrino, built the first nuclear reactor, and bridged theory and experiment like no one before. Fermi's ability to move between mathematical physics and hands-on engineering set the template for everything the Neutrino Energy Group aspires to: rigorous science translated into working technology.

When Pauli proposed the neutrino, it was Fermi who gave it a name and built the theoretical framework for weak interactions that made the particle scientifically tractable. Without Fermi's bridge between idea and application, neutrino physics might have remained a theoretical curiosity.

Quantum Tunneling — The quantum mechanical phenomenon that allows particles to pass through energy barriers they classically shouldn't be able to cross. Understanding tunneling is essential for grasping how nanoscale energy conversion works at the atomic level.
