BLACKSBURG, Va. (WFXR) – As housing prices across the country continue to skyrocket, an Iowa-based company, Alquist 3D, is looking to combat the crisis by 3D-printing homes.

Alquist, one of a few U.S. companies that 3D-prints houses, is looking to build 200 of these homes in Virginia starting this summer.

The process is somewhat simple. First, a person designs what they want the frame of the house to look like by using a computer program. Then, a file is transmitted to a machine, which tells it what to do and how to move.

US-based architecture studio NBBJ has released designs for a net-zero school in Encino, California, that will cater to neurodiverse students.

The design of the Lower School campus of Westmark School uses acoustic technologies, as well as the integration of flora and natural materials, to create a comfortable environment for students with special needs.

“Designers selected a variety of sound-absorbing materials for different spaces, developed reading nooks and other niches for creative learning both inside and outside the classroom, and oriented views to green space to enhance different educational modes,” said NBBJ.

Highlighting recent robotics research, MIT’s robot “mini cheetah” combines the best of electronics and machine learning to zoom towards the future.

Four-legged animals have long been a popular platform for basing walking robots on. Some of the most widely internet-famous robots are the quadrupeds that have come out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), such as Boston Dynamics’ Spot (a spin-off of MIT bought by Hyundai) and the MIT Mini Cheetah.

Kondo is one of the thousands of people who have entered into unofficial relationships with fictional characters in Japan. While some of those relationships are for a joke, Kondo’s is not.

He has publicly shared his marriage and relationship with the world in hopes of helping the growing wave of fictosexuals and show the world that with advances in artificial intelligence allowing for more profound interactions their numbers are likely to increase.

Being bullied in the workplace is what drove Kondo into finding comfort in his fictional wife back in 2008 when he left work and felt isolated and depressed.

A superyacht captain used sonic weapons to fend off pirates, an industry insider told The Times of London.

They also deployed “pain rays,” which create a burning sensation on the skin, the worker said.

The captain used the weapons against armed pirates approaching on inflatable boats, the worker added.

The captain deployed the weapons as armed pirates sped towards him on inflatable boats, an industry insider wrote in The Times of London.

Whoosh!

After three years of maintenance and upgrades, the Large Hadron Collider — one of the most powerful scientific instruments ever built — has whizzed past its own record. In preparation for its third major run of experiments, the particle accelerator has created the most energetic beams of protons ever made by humans. The particles went racing around the 17-mile (27 km) tunnel near Geneva, Switzerland, with an energy of 6.8 trillion electronvolts (TeV).
