Students at a tech university in Dublin are enjoying an unexpected perk of artificial intelligence — it’s helping heat their campus.Since 2023, the Technical University of Dublin’s Tallaght campus has been one of a growing number of buildings in the southwest suburban area of the city to be heated by waste heat from a nearby Amazon Web Services data center. Data centers have always generated excess heat, but integration with district heating networks has been slow, as the waste heat produced by these power-hungry facilities is typically too low-temperature to directly warm other buildings. That’s now changing. As the AI…

Classic rum babà is a thing of beauty. It’s a boozy treat that makes an appearance in many European cuisines, each slightly different from the last—all delightfully soggy in the best way possible. A rich brioche-like dough is baked in cute little molds, then plunged into a fiery simple syrup infused with a hearty glug of alcohol. (Rum is the most common spirit of choice—hence the name—although limoncello is another popular option.) Sometimes these soggy little babies get squeezed to draw out any excess moisture and help the syrup infuse deep into the core. Other times they are left to…
