A research team led by Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) scientist David Reverter has identified the molecular mechanism that regulates bacterial cell division. The discovery reveals how the MraZ protein binds to the dcw gene cluster to control this process. The findings were published in Nature Communications. Cell division is essential for all living organisms and depends on the coordinated activity of many proteins and regulatory components. In most bacteria, the instructions for this process are organized within a group of genes known as the dcw operon. This cluster contains the genetic information needed to produce proteins responsible for both...

This Offshore Wind Turbine Will House a Data Center Underwater
As data-center developers frantically seek to secure power for their operations, one startup is proposing a novel solution: Build them into floating offshore wind turbines. San Francisco–based offshore wind-power developer Aikido Technologies today announced its plans to start housing data centers in the underwater tanks that keep its turbine platforms afloat. The turbines will supply the power for the servers, and onboard batteries and grid connection will provide backup. The company’s first prototype, a 100-kilowatt unit, is scheduled to launch in the North Sea off the coast of Norway by the end of this year. A 15-to-18-megawatt project off the...
