Engineers poured concrete into a sewn fabric mold to make a beam with voids where solid material was not needed. The test beam stayed close to the computer model.
Excavations at Old Dongola in northern Sudan exposed a large staircase and, on an upper level, an unexpected smaller church with Greek-inscribed plaster fragments.
Construction of the detector module cryostats for the DUNE neutrino experiment began underground in South Dakota. The detectors are planned to receive a beam from Fermilab by 2031.
Divers and land teams found a harbour section probably from the Augustan period and a building possibly used for wine production; samples should identify the quarry.
Epiphytic orchids from felled trees were replanted in two urban wetlands and on a beach. More than 19,500 survived, including nearly 55% of the endemic ones.
Solarwatt added a bifacial TOPCon module with abZ building approval to its Construct BIPV series, which simplifies permitting for facades and overhead glazing.
The University of South Florida tested a self-cooling roof paint on small samples outdoors. Surfaces ran up to 13.5 degrees below ambient air temperature, the authors report.
Excavations in five trenches at Bala Hissar have yielded coins, Buddhist statue fragments and a Mughal palace with a star-shaped pool. The site is planned as a public park.
A new modular railway bridge technology allows for factory-made components to be assembled on-site, reducing construction time and enhancing safety.
Seoul city will choose five designer gardens of about 250 ㎡ each for Namsan Park. They will be built for the 2027 Seoul International Garden Expo.
Transport ministers of the six GCC states signed an agreement in Bahrain to advance a joint rail network from Kuwait to Oman. The project was first proposed over ten years ago.
Vagabond Haven offers Antonia, a two-module tiny house around a terrace: timber frame on a steel frame without wheels, ready-built delivery in 2–4 weeks.
University of East London researchers ran a combined workflow on a computer model of a concrete building with Northridge and Kobe records. It is a modelling-stage study.
A study published in Acta Geophysica uncovers a Saite period structure buried under 6 to 7 meters of sand in Buto, Egypt.
Researchers created a lightweight porous plastic layer that enhances outdoor cooling coatings, potentially reducing energy demand for air conditioning.
A new eco-friendly house using earth ramming technology will be built in central Poland, marking a significant milestone in sustainable architecture.
Drexel University researchers converted 196 chamber results from 12 studies into air cleaner units. The median for a single potted plant was 0.023 m³/h of VOC removal.
French archaeologists excavated a Middle Neolithic cemetery before housing construction. Among the finds is an anthropomorphic menhir stele more than three metres long.
Satellite radar maps show large parts of the US East Coast sinking at least 2 mm per year, and in the worst areas faster than the 4 mm annual rise of global sea level.
