Cultivating Temperate Coral: A Key to Ocean Research and Conservation
Astrangia poculata is not the flashiest coral, but it is proving to be one of the most practical. After years of multi-institutional collaboration, a standardized path from spawning to settlement now exists. The results are concrete: thermal treatment reliably induces spawning, and fertilization rates reached 93 percent. Feeding larvae accelerated their development, while TBP triggered settlement. This is the kind of reproducible foundation that turns observation into experiment.
Validated Design Paves Way for Ocean-Based Data Centers
Classification societies and shipbuilders rarely agree on the abstract, but ABS and Samsung Heavy Industries have now aligned on something concrete: floating data centers are viable. Their newly validated design, announced in two milestones, moves ocean-based computing from concept toward class approval. This matters because data infrastructure is increasingly landlocked by energy and cooling demands. The ocean offers a calibrated alternative, though real-world deployment will test the design's mettle.
