Alternative construction methods continue to build momentum especially in the 3D printed homebuilding world. We take a look at projects by 3D printing builders Diamond Age and Icon as well as talk to scientists researching 3D printing applications that will influence the future of homebuilding.

Farsighted will help you imagine your possible futures and appreciate the subtle intelligence of the choices that shaped our broader social history.

The heat released by fission in nuclear reactors must be captured and transferred for use in electricity generation. To this end, reactors use coolants (e.g., water) that remove heat from the core where the fuel is processed and carry it to electrical generators. Coolants also serve to maintain manageable pressures within the core.

As a result, countries around the world have banded together to decarbonize the energy grid. Japan, Canada, and the EU have already passed legally binding net zero commitments, and more than 130 countries have now set or are considering a policy target of reducing emissions to net zero, including China (by 2060) and the U.S. (by 2030).
