Ferveret's nuclear-inspired Adaptive Phase Cooling technology directly addresses the critical infrastructure bottleneck of thermal management for high-density AI workloads, offering a significant reduction in energy and water consumption. By enabling more efficient heat transfer through specialized bubble dynamics, this approach allows data centers to extract substantially more computational output per watt without relying on traditional air or standard liquid cooling methods.
Startup’s nuclear-inspired cooling system could make data centers more sustainable
Founded by two researchers from MIT, Ferveret reduces the amount of energy and water required to cool the chips that power AI.
The rise of artificial intelligence is riding on the back of an enormous data center expansion. Data centers are projected to account for anywhere from 9 to 17 percent of total electricity usage in the U.S. by the end of the decade. Today, around a third of data center electricity is devoted to cooling the chips that run AI models. That’s the process Ferveret is working to make more efficient. The startup, founded by Reza Azizian, a former MIT postdoc in nuclear engineering, and Matteo Bucci, MIT’s Esther and Harold E. Edgerton Associate Professor in the Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering, is adapting an approach from nuclear reactors to cool chips using no water and significantly less electricity. The company’s cooling…
