Although the supercomputer is not as large as the huge data centers used by companies like Amazon (AMZN) and Microsoft (MSFT) —which require gigawatts of power—Isambard-AI uses just 5 megawatts while still being able to run many experiments at once. In addition, the Bristol team chose liquid cooling instead of fans, which allows more GPUs to be placed into smaller spaces while improving energy efficiency. The university also plans to reuse the hot wastewater from the supercomputer to heat campus buildings and nearby homes.
It is worth noting that this project is part of Nvidia's 'sovereign AI' focus, which is where countries build their own national AI infrastructure. Indeed, in May, CEO Jensen Huang joined President Trump at a Saudi event to announce that Nvidia would sell thousands of GPUs to companies in the country. Moreover, in June, Nvidia said that it was expanding its AI infrastructure push into France, Germany, Italy, and the UK. This is because Huang believes that AI is the new essential infrastructure, just like electricity and the internet once were.
What Is a Good Price for NVDA?
Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Strong Buy consensus rating on NVDA stock based on 34 Buys, three Holds, and one Sell assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. Furthermore, the average NVDA price target of $182.06 per share implies 5% upside potential.

How much do UK bank holidays cost? Calls grow for celebration after Lionesses' Euros win
The last time the government announced an extra bank holiday was for Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee. The government is facing calls to promise an extra bank holiday to commemorate the Lionesses defending their Euros title after their victory over Spain on Sunday. During the tense final in Basel, Chloe Kelly managed to bring it home for England for the second time in a row after she scored the trophy-winning penalty. The Football Association and the government have announced an open-top parade down The Mall in central London on Tuesday, 29 July, to mark the occasion. But many want to see the government go further and give the nation an extra day off to celebrate. Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey said an additional day off would be a great way of honouring the "stunning achievement". In a post on X, he said: "Back-to-back champions! The Lionesses have done it again and made us proud. How about it, Keir Starmer? Time for that bank holiday?" Sir Keir Starmer also called for a bank holiday when England were the runners-up in the 2023 women's World Cup, when he was leader of the opposition. Will there be a bank holiday? Although there's been no official work on it yet, it is unlikely. When speaking to BBC Breakfast on Monday, business secretary Jonathan Reynolds said there should be a "celebration." But he added: "I can't, I'm afraid, promise a bank holiday." Several news organisations, including the Telegraph, have also reported that Downing Street has said there will not be one. There was no bank holiday following their victory in the 2022 tournament, nor was there one when the men's team won the 1966 World Cup. How much does a bank holiday cost? In 2022, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport published an assessment on how much the additional bank holiday to mark Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee in June 2022 cost the UK economy. The study factored in the loss of economic output, weighed against the increased activity in the hospitality and tourism sector. The assessment also considered any 'bouncing back' that may have happened due to increased productivity later in the week, as businesses tried to catch up with what they had lost. Overall, they said the extra bank holiday cost the British economy £2.4bn in terms of lost GDP. The UK's annual GDP in recent years has been over £2.5 trillion, so an extra bank holiday costs the economy less than 0.01% per year. Considering the Platinum Jubilee was also a celebration, it would likely cost a similar amount for a bank holiday celebrating a major sporting win. Although the extra bank holiday for the Jubilee was announced months in advance, giving businesses much more time to prepare and it would be unlikely that the government would promise a day off with just a few days' notice.

Boehringer Ingelheim and Re-Vana Therapeutics Announce Strategic Collaboration to Develop Long-Acting Ophthalmic Therapies
· Up to three development programs per year leading to a potential total deal value exceeding $1 billion contingent on milestone achievements. Ingelheim, Germany, Tampa, Florida, USA, and Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK [28 July 2025] – Boehringer Ingelheim and Re-Vana Therapeutics, a US and UK based developer of ocular therapeutics and ocular drug delivery technologies, today announced a strategic collaboration and license agreement that aims to develop first-in-class extended-release therapies for eye diseases. Globally, millions of people living with eye health conditions face a progressive decline in their independence and connection to the world due to vision loss. With its diverse pipeline in eye health, which includes four assets in Phase II, Boehringer Ingelheim is committed to preserving the retina, protecting people's way of life and preventing vision loss. Treating ophthalmic diseases often requires frequent injections directly into the eye, which can be very burdensome for patients. Re-Vana's drug delivery technology is designed to release treatments slowly over six to 12 months, aiming to drastically reduce how often patients need injections. Lowering the treatment burden could lead to higher treatment compliance, and potentially result in better therapeutic outcomes. Boehringer Ingelheim will explore combining this technology with its unique pipeline in eye health. 'We're looking forward to team up with Re-Vana to push the boundaries of what's possible in eye health,' said Nedim Pipic, Global Head of Mental Health, Eye Health and Emerging Areas at Boehringer Ingelheim. 'Together, we want to tackle the limits of today's treatments – aiming to help people keep their sight, with fewer injections. This partnership is a bold step forward in our mission to protect vision and ease the burden on patients.' 'The strategic collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim marks a transformational moment for Re-Vana,' said Michael O'Rourke, Re-Vana Chief Executive Officer. 'By combining our extended-release platform with Boehringer Ingelheim's world-class research and development capabilities and eye health pipeline, we strive to bring forward a new generation of long-acting treatments for eye diseases that offer clinical and quality-of-life benefits for patients.' Under the collaboration, Boehringer Ingelheim aims to add up to three projects per year across therapeutic modalities. The companies will jointly oversee Re-Vana's feasibility and development activities for the extended-release programs, with Boehringer Ingelheim assuming sole responsibility for clinical development, regulatory approval, and global commercialization of the products. The terms of the agreement grant Boehringer Ingelheim target exclusivity, and provide for upfront, development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments to Re-Vana, with total potential deal value exceeding $1 billion for the initial three targets, in addition to royalty payments on net sales. Boehringer Ingelheim Boehringer Ingelheim is a biopharmaceutical company active in both human and animal health. As one of the industry's top investors in research and development, the company focuses on developing innovative therapies that can improve and extend lives in areas of high unmet medical need.

Mike Rowe says US in a ‘modern-day Manhattan project' after scrapping shop class — is it time to ditch your desk job?
With billions of dollars pouring in to fuel America's contributions to the ongoing Artificial Intelligence race, Mike Rowe believes we are living through what he calls a 'modern-day Manhattan Project.' However, America's AI efforts face their own set of hurdles, including a lack of skilled tradespeople to build the energy and data center infrastructure needed to power AI. Don't miss Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) You don't have to be a millionaire to gain access to this $1B private real estate fund. In fact, you can get started with as little as $10 — here's how 'When we took shop class out of high school, we sent a pretty clear message to the workforce," Rowe, the host of Dirty Jobs, told Fox News. "We put our thumb on the scale, we made a real judgement call. Consequently, we have 7.6 million open jobs right now in those [skilled labor] fields.' And Rowe isn't the only one ringing this alarm bell. Nobel laureate Geoffrey Hinton — often called the 'Godfather of AI' — also recommended blue collar skills as a way to prepare for the age of automation. 'I'd say it's going to be a long time before [AI] is as good at physical manipulation as us, and so a good bet would be to be a plumber,' Hinton said on The Diary of a CEO podcast. As more experts urge Americans to rethink their career paths, could now be the moment to consider rolling up your sleeves and going to trade school? Here's what you need to know. The pros Perhaps the best reason to consider a career in the trades is the projected shortage of skilled labor workers in the near future. Nearly 1.9 million manufacturing jobs could go unfilled over the next decade, according to a study from the Manufacturing Institute and Deloitte. Meanwhile, America could be short about 550,000 plumbers by 2027, according to The Hill. Put simply, there's growing demand for blue collar workers while white collar staffers face dwindling demand and potential layoffs. As a consequence, skilled trade workers have more bargaining power to achieve better wages. Between 2020 and 2024, average wages across the skilled trades sectors grew 20%, according to McKinsey & Company. Experienced electricians, elevator installers, construction managers and HVAC technicians can earn $100,000 or more per year, according to the Philadelphia Technician Training Institute. And the fact that these trades do not require an advanced college degree also reduces the burden on young people willing to acquire these skills. Trade schools are relatively inexpensive, and organizations such as Rowe's mikeroweWORKS Foundation have helped thousands of young professionals achieve six-figure salaries without taking on massive student debt. However, before you ditch your cubicle for a construction site, it's worth considering some of the drawbacks of this bold career move. Read more: Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says — and that 'anyone' can do it The Cons Being a blue collar worker could be lucrative, but only after you've gained sufficient skills and experience. For instance, the average apprenticeship for construction workers could be slightly longer than four years, according to the American Apprenticeship Initiative. Making matters worse, your earnings are likely to start relatively low during your apprenticeship, which means it could be several years before you crack the six-figure threshold. Another disadvantage with blue collar work is that it is highly physical and may be better suited for younger workers. Mining, construction and agricultural workers have relatively high rates of workplace injuries, according to the AFL-CIO. These risks are higher for older workers, which could push tradespeople to consider earlier retirement than their white collar peers. Finally, the current lack of automation in the trades might be temporary. Several tech giants and startups are working on humanoid robots and there are already prototypes of autonomous machines for construction, as well as shipbuilding and welding. Amazon already has roughly a million robots in its warehouses and the company's workforce could be more robotic than human in the near future, according to the Wall Street Journal. The bottom line There are plenty of advantages and disadvantages to switching your career to the trades. If you're young and enthusiastic about gaining hands-on experience, this could be the right move. But if you've already built soft skills over several years and don't find physical labor enjoyable, this might not be the best move for you.

How to get in now Accredited investors can now buy into this $22 trillion asset class once reserved for elites – and become the landlord of Walmart, Whole Foods or Kroger without lifting a finger. Here's how Rich, young Americans are ditching the stormy stock market — here are the alternative assets they're banking on instead Here are 5 'must have' items that Americans (almost) always overpay for — and very quickly regret.
