Elon Musk says SpaceX will directly cast key gas turbine components to reduce power-supply bottlenecks for AI infrastructure. A secret foundry in Bastrop, Texas is known as a facility to make turbine blades and vanes. Musk says solar capacity is being built rapidly at SpaceX and Tesla, but natural gas will be needed for several years. The move comes as data centres face constraints from power grids and turbine supply limits, amid rising concerns over air pollution and health impacts.

A platform that keeps human skin discarded after surgery alive outside the body for up to a month and uses it to train AI models has been unveiled. Outer Bioscience has built a closed research system combining living human skin data with AI to identify new cosmetic ingredients. The company sources de-identified tissue through biobank networks, tests AI-predicted chemicals on living skin and feeds results back into its models. It focuses on commercialising cosmetic ingredients through safety testing and licensing.
