Some goes to run the massive server farms used by Facebook, Google, Apple and all the other data providers and storers. But it\u2019s cooling these servers down with fans which really sucks energy. So the race is on to find alternative, low-energy cooling solutions, and now researchers in the UK believe they\u2019ve discovered how to cut that energy consumption by up to 97 percent.
