Pastor accused of crypto fraud; solar geoengineering roadmap published; energy-recycling chips developed

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A pastor and his wife have been accused of defrauding investors through a cryptocurrency called INDXcoin, which they claimed was divinely inspired. Over 500 individuals invested more than $3 million, but the project collapsed within a year, leaving investors with significant losses. Separately, a research organization named Reflective has published a roadmap for solar geoengineering experiments to inform decisions on climate change mitigation. Additionally, Vaire Computing's cofounder Hannah Earley is developing chips that utilize reversible computing to recycle waste heat, potentially increasing energy efficiency in data centers and personal devices.
