Silicon runs on direct current, so why not use DC to power racks?

Why it might make sense to store energy in the racks, instead of in the UPS

It’s cold, it’s renewable, and it’s cheap. But is it ready?

Why worry about efficiency in electrical distribution, when superconductors have no resistance at all?

Dismissed in the 2010s, the idea of running direct current through your building could be set to make a comeback
