CNN —Accounting for up to 1.5% of global electricity use, data centers are fueling the climate crisis. WindCORES, a subsidiary of German renewable electricity company WestfalenWIND, operates data centers inside wind turbines located in a wind park in the Paderborn district in western Germany, which the company says makes the centers almost carbon neutral. The concept uses existing wind turbines to power data centers on site, while fiber optic cables provide a constant internet connection. WindCORES estimates that the unused electricity generated during this period could power one-third of all German data centers. Zattoo joined windCORES in 2020, when it moved one of its six data centers into a wind turbine in Paderborn.

The FDA may soon approve a new treatment for ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. If approved, Amylyx Pharmaceuticals's drug, AMX0035, will be a new treatment option for patients. A new drug for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, more commonly known as ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease, is on the cusp of approval from the US Food and Drug Administration. The association said that treatment has the support of the larger ALS community and urged the FDA to "swiftly approve" AMX0035.

(video) „Ce m-aș face fără întâmplările absurde din viața mea?” Astăzi, se fac 114 ani de la nașterea Fridei KalhoAstăzi, 6 iulie 2021, se împlinesc 114 de ani de la nașterea Fridei Kahlo, renumita artistă plastică mexicană care a adus lumii un nou suflu picturii, remarcându-se prin autoportrete realizate într-un stil suprarealist. „Ce m-aș face fără întâmplările absurde din viața mea?”, spunea Frida despre momentele care ulterior i-au devenit laitmotiv pentru picturile sale, pentru că Frida s-a luptat cu multe tipuri de boli pe tot parcursul vieții. De exemplu, când avea șase ani, a fost molipsită cu virusul care, în consecință, i-a lăsat piciorul drept mult mai subțire decât cel stâng. Artista s-a născut în casa pe nume Caza Azul (în traducere, Casa Albastră), unde a și murit mai apoi, chiar dacă pe parcursul vieții a trăit în mai multe orașe ale lumii. Așadar, Casa Albastră a fost transformată într-un muzeu după ce Frida a murit.
