Nexalus Named a Winner of Fast Company's 2025 World Changing Ideas Awards for its Revolutionary Data Center Liquid Cooling Technology
CORK, Ireland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nexalus, a leader in advanced liquid cooling solutions, today announced that it has been named to Fast Company's prestigious list of World Changing Ideas for 2025W for its revolutionary liquid cooling technology. This annual recognition honors bold and transformative efforts that tackle the world's most pressing issues—from fresh sustainability initiatives and cutting-edge AI developments to ambitious pursuits of social equity that are helping mold the world. Nexalus' liquid-cooling technology offers a transformative solution that is poised to drive significant improvements in cost reduction, efficiency, reliability, and sustainability, without compromising on server and and data center performance. Share Nexalus' technology addresses the rising energy and environmental demands of the traditional and AI data center sector, which contributes over 100 million tonnes of CO2e annually, by transforming data centers from energy consumers into clean energy generating assets, delivering a closed-loop, circular economy solution. This year's awards, featured on showcase 50 winners across 12 categories and 50 additional winners across industries, for a total of 100 outstanding projects. A panel of Fast Company editors and reporters selected the winners from a pool of more than 1,500 entries and judged applications based on their impact, sustainability, design, creativity, scalability, and ability to improve society. 'We are deeply honored to have our advanced liquid cooling solution be recognized by Fast Company as a World Changing Idea in 2025,' said Kenneth O'Mahony, Co-Founder and CEO of Nexalus. 'This award is a powerful validation of our bold mission to revolutionize cooling, rethink energy recovery and scale our innovative solution globally to transform data centers from energy consumers into clean energy producers. It's a testament to the talent, dedication, and innovation of our thermal engineering team — I couldn't be prouder.' Nexalus was recognized for its technology that enhances thermal management for electronics producing excessive heat and requiring an abundance of energy to cool, including data centers, AI, edge computing, gaming, and High-Performance Computing (HPC). The company has developed a breakthrough liquid cooling technology which unlocks the potential of circularity in data center cooling by sealing the server, allowing data centers to redeploy 100% of the highest quality thermal energy that is otherwise wasted using existing air-cooling solutions. Nexalus' technology enables a typical data center to achieve up to a 35% reduction in energy consumption, as well as the redeployment of clean energy to nearby communities, and as such its widespread adoption offers significant potential for the sector to drastically improve its environmental impact. O'Mahony continued, 'As sustainability becomes a key focus for businesses worldwide, adopting innovative cooling solutions can help data centers not only meet, but surpass regulatory requirements and corporate sustainability goals. Our Nexalus' liquid-cooling technology offers a transformative solution that is poised to drive significant improvements in cost reduction, energy efficiency, reliability, and sustainability in the global data center market, without compromising on server and data center performance.' In December, Nexalus announced a collaboration with the OEM team at Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) to integrate Nexalus' energy-efficient liquid cooling technology into three of HPE's most popular data center servers - ProLiant DL360, DL365, and DL380a. Additionally, Nexalus and Intel have partnered to develop advanced liquid cooling solutions for edge computing and 5G infrastructure. These systems utilize patented jet impingement technology to efficiently dissipate heat from CPUs and GPUs. Encased in compact, weather-resistant IP66 enclosures, this technology ensures reliable performance in extreme environments while promoting energy efficiency. Nexalus previously began a partnership with Dell Technologies to integrate its patented liquid cooling systems into Dell servers, workstations and AI platforms, and the partners continue to be engaged on commercial deployments. 'The World Changing Ideas Awards have always been about showcasing the art of the possible,' says Fast Company editor-in-chief Brendan Vaughan. 'We're proud to recognize the organizations and leaders that are making meaningful progress on the biggest issues of our time.'

Phare Bio and MIT Named to Fast Company 's 2025 World Changing Ideas List
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Fast Company has named Phare Bio, a biotech social venture, and MIT's Collins Lab, to its 2025 World Changing Ideas list for their breakthrough use of generative AI to design entirely novel antibiotics – a paradigm-shifting approach in the global fight against antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Phare Bio and the Collins Lab's generative AI platform marks a significant leap forward in drug discovery, enabling researchers to design antibiotics in silico with unprecedented precision and speed. By layering multiple drug parameters into the design process – such as reducing toxicity or improving oral bioavailability – the platform can produce tailored antibiotic candidates with real-world clinical relevance. This year's recognition follows a major milestone in September 2024, when Phare Bio and the Collins Lab received an up to $27 million grant from ARPA-H to enhance this generative AI design capability and build a pipeline of 15 novel antibiotics tailored to meet global public health needs. 'We believe generative AI is not just accelerating drug discovery – it's redefining what's possible,' said Dr. Akhila Kosaraju, CEO and President of Phare Bio. 'To be named to Fast Company's World Changing Ideas list is an incredible honor, and a reflection of what happens when breakthrough science, technology and a commitment to real-world impact converge.' Building off of the Collins Lab's first-ever discovery of a novel antibiotic using AI, Phare Bio's goal is simple and urgent: to design smarter antibiotics for the patients who need them most. 'This recognition is deeply meaningful for Phare Bio and our lab at MIT,' said Dr. Jim Collins, Co-founder of Phare Bio, Termeer Professor of Medical Engineering & Science and Professor of Biological Engineering at MIT. 'Over the past decade, our team has worked at the forefront of artificial intelligence and synthetic biology to chart a new era in antibiotic discovery. We're excited to see this work scale into a global movement to reinvigorate antibiotic innovation.' 'The World Changing Ideas Awards have always been about showcasing the art of the possible,' says Brendan Vaughan, editor-in-chief at Fast Company. 'We're proud to recognize the organizations and leaders that are making meaningful progress on the biggest issues of our time.' By combining deep learning, data-driven design, and open-access collaboration, Phare Bio and the Collins Lab are creating a new gold standard for how antibiotics are discovered and developed. About Phare Bio Phare Bio is a social venture using artificial intelligence (AI) to develop novel classes of antibiotics in partnership with Jim Collins' lab at MIT.
