Sydney scientists develop cryogenic cooling for AI computers

Australian scientists are developing cryogenic cooling that makes AI computers run faster using less water.

Scientists at the University of Sydney are developing new cooling technology for AI computers. The system uses extremely cold gases to cool hardware.

Cooler computers run much faster. The technology could cut the huge amount of water needed to cool AI data centres.

It may also cut power use. Large data centres could be built in regional areas near renewable energy.

Researchers believe this could power Australia's future AI systems.
