How IBM & NASA’s AI Solar Predictions can Support Grids
IBM and NASA have created an open-source AI foundation model called Surya to predict solar flares and protect technologies like satellites and power grids The phenomena of solar flares and coronal mass ejections carry the potential to crash satellites, disrupt aviation systems and even lead to widespread power outages.
IBM and NASA have joined forces to develop an open-source AI foundation model designed to decode high-resolution solar observation data and predict how solar activity affects technologies.
Named Surya, this tool aims to protect technologies from GPS navigation to power grids.
“Think of this as a weather forecast for space,” explains Juan Bernabe-Moreno, Director of IBM Research Europe, UK and Ireland. Read more
Can Aalo Atomics Power Data Centres with Nuclear Energy?
Aalo Atomics begins work on its Aalo-X reactor, aiming to prove modular nuclear energy can deliver low-impact, reliable power for digital infrastructure Read more
Aalo Atomics begins construction of its experimental Aalo-X reactor next to Idaho National Laboratory’s (INL) Materials and Fuels Complex, marking the first reactor build under the US Department of Energy’s Nuclear Reactor Pilot Program.
The move represents an early test of modular nuclear energy as a power source for energy-intensive data centres, which increasingly demand constant, scalable and carbon-light electricity.
Aalo Atomics, based in the US, targets reactor criticality, the point when a nuclear chain reaction becomes self-sustaining, by 4 July 2026.
The project enters development following Aalo’s selection by the Department of Energy (DOE) through a competitive process.
The Aalo-X is designed as an extra modular reactor (XMR), a format that prioritises compact, scalable, non-water cooled nuclear units.
