# The Download: cutting AC emissions, and nature’s drug designer

**[MIT Technology Review](https://daily.dev/sources/technologyreview)** · 6 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

MIT Technology Review's daily newsletter covers several stories: solid-state air conditioning technology that could reduce the 3% of global greenhouse-gas emissions from traditional AC; a chemist using AI and robotics to design drugs specifically for animals ('conservation chemistry'); Anthropic shutting down access to its top AI models globally after a US government directive barring foreigners from using them; the UK banning social media for under-16s; a coalition of US states investigating OpenAI; Tesla accused of misleading regulators on self-driving safety data; and NASA's X-59 quiet supersonic plane hitting new speed and altitude milestones.
