A futuristic, zero pollution, emission free, unmanned airship
We all know that airships belong to a type of floating aircraft. As early as World War I, it was used in military operations and later developed for civilian use. Airships are divided into two categories: manned and unmanned, and there are also differences between tethered and unlabeled. The lift obtained by an airship mainly comes from the lighter gases inside it, such as hydrogen, helium, etc. Structurally, airships can be divided into three types: hard airships, semi hard airships, and soft airships. Airships have an extremely long endurance. As early as March 1957, a ZPG-2 flexible airship in the United States set a world record for continuous flight of 264.2 hours in one flight, with a total distance of 15200 kilometers. Today this record has already been broken, with the American airship LEMV flying continuously for three weeks at an altitude of 22000 feet.

The world's first carbon fiber concrete building
German construction company Henn and the Technical University of Dresden have completed the world's first building made of carbon fiber concrete - a type of concrete reinforced with carbon fiber instead of steel.
This 243 square meter building, known as a cube, was built for testing new materials and will provide laboratory and activity space for the university campus.
Its distinctive feature is a thin and twisted facade, visually referencing the textile quality of carbon fiber, and formally made of lighter and stronger materials than traditional concrete.

The AI Image Generator: The Limits of the Algorithm and Human Biases
2022and2023have been the year of AI image generators. Over the past few years, these machine learning systems have been tweaked and refined, undergoing multiple iterations to find their present popularity with the everyday internet user. These image generators—DALL-E and Midjourney arguably the most prominent—generate imagery from a variety of text prompts, for instance allowing people to create conceptual renditions of architectures of the future, present, and past. But as we exist in a digital landscape filled with human biases—navigating these image generators requires careful reflection.
