Czech Republic's First 3D-Printed House Built in 48 Hours
Welcome to the World news. World news keeps you updated news around the nations. Today's topic is "Czech Republic's First 3D-Printed House Built in 48 Hours" The Czech Republic's first 3D-printed house takes just 48 hours to build, a few weeks to dry, and is designed to last at least 100 years. Designed by artist Michal Trpak with the support of a Czech building society, the first "Prvok" house has been built in the southern Czech city of Ceske Budejovice. The Prvok house was designed with 43 square meters of floor space and three rooms: a bathroom, a living room with kitchen, and a bedroom. It can be used in both the city and countryside, and can even float on water. According to the building society, 3D-printed houses can be built seven times faster than regular houses, and the costs can be up to 50% lower. Also, 3D-printing homes creates up to 20% less carbon dioxide than building with bricks. The house uses environmentally friendly technologies like a shower that can collect, clean and reuse water, and a roof where plants can be grown. And even though it has been designed to last for a century, Trpak says that owners can demolish the house if they don't need it anymore, and print something new at the same place using the same materials. The house was printed by a robot arm developed through one of Trpak's other projects, called Scoolpt. Working with global company Master Builders Solutions, Scoolpt also developed the concrete that the Prvok house is made of. After just one day, the concrete is as strong as the foundations of a normal family home — but after 28 days of drying, it is as strong as the concrete used to build bridges. 🍀SNS Website:http://japantravelvlog.com/ (http://japantravelvlog.com/) instagram:https://www.instagram.com/kidslovejapan/ (https://www.instagram.com/kidslovejapan/) twitter: https://twitter.com/KidsLove_Japan/ (https://twitter.com/KidsLove_Japan/) facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gmsi.jp/ (https://www.facebook.com/gmsi.jp/) WorldNews:https://anchor.fm/worldnews/ (https://anchor.fm/worldnews/) Tumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/kidslove-japan/ (https://www.tumblr.com/blog/kidslove-japan/) blog: http://masako-toybox.seesaa.net/ (http://masako-toybox.seesaa.net/) ✅SUBSCRIBE https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHl6jliVGhN3z978Rh1L-AQ?sub_confirmation=1 (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHl6jliVGhN3z978Rh1L-AQ?sub_confirmation=1) #WorldNews #AudioNews

Balloon to Fly Tourists to Edge of Space
Welcome to the World news. World news keeps you updated news around the nations. Today's topic is "Balloon to Fly Tourists to Edge of Space" Two companies, Space Perspective and PriestmanGoode, are working together to make a balloon that will fly passengers to the edge of space. The balloon, known as Spaceship Neptune, will use hydrogen to float up over 30 kilometers, more than twice as high as a passenger plane. Below the balloon, there’s a capsule with seats for eight passengers and one pilot. Nigel Goode, Designer and Co-Founder of PriestmanGoode, said that the companies want to make the journey as comfortable as possible for passengers. There’s a bar and a bathroom, plus large windows so passengers can see space and the Earth below. They’ll even be able to share the experience on social media while on board. The journey will take six hours in total. It will take two hours for the balloon to float to the edge of space, where it will stay for two hours. It will then return to Earth and land in the ocean, where a boat will collect it. Space Perspective says that it hopes the experience will be as easy as boarding a plane. The first flights will leave from Space Perspective’s control center in Florida, but there are plans to have more flights from Hawaii, Alaska and possibly other places outside of the US. The companies hope that the balloon will be used for experiments by scientists and for events like weddings, concerts and business meetings. The first test flight is planned for early 2021, but won’t include any passengers. The companies hope to eventually offer up to 100 flights per year. 🍀SNS Website:http://japantravelvlog.com/ (http://japantravelvlog.com/) instagram:https://www.instagram.com/kidslovejapan/ (https://www.instagram.com/kidslovejapan/) twitter: https://twitter.com/KidsLove_Japan/ (https://twitter.com/KidsLove_Japan/) facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gmsi.jp/ (https://www.facebook.com/gmsi.jp/) WorldNews:https://anchor.fm/worldnews/ (https://anchor.fm/worldnews/) Tumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/kidslove-japan/ (https://www.tumblr.com/blog/kidslove-japan/) blog: http://masako-toybox.seesaa.net/ (http://masako-toybox.seesaa.net/) ✅SUBSCRIBE https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHl6jliVGhN3z978Rh1L-AQ?sub_confirmation=1 (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHl6jliVGhN3z978Rh1L-AQ?sub_confirmation=1) #WorldNews #AudioNews

Japan's Fugaku Supercomputer is Helping Fight COVID-19
Welcome to the World news. World news keeps you updated news around the nations. Today's topic is "Japan's Fugaku Supercomputer is Helping Fight COVID-19" Scientists around the world are trying to find effective treatments for COVID-19, and they're getting extra support from Fugaku, a Japanese supercomputer. Fugaku — also another name for Mount Fuji — is kept in Kobe, Japan. Its installation began in December 2019, and even though it is not scheduled for full operation until 2021, it has been helping with coronavirus research since April 2020. The supercomputer has identified dozens of possible treatments for COVID-19. Researchers from Kyoto University used it to run molecular-level simulations on 2,128 existing drugs. Over ten days, it looked for those that can bond with proteins associated with the novel coronavirus and inactivate them. The dozens of drugs it identified include 12 that are already being tested around the world to treat the virus, but also a number that have not yet been looked at by scientists. Research company Riken, which developed the supercomputer with Fujitsu, have also used it to model how the virus could travel through the air in different places. Findings from that study suggest that keeping the windows on commuter trains open and limiting the number of passengers could reduce the risk of infection. Among the other research projects that could use Fugaku are those trying to find previously unknown characteristics of the still very new virus. The supercomputer could also be used to better understand the socio-economic impact of the pandemic, and contribute to countermeasures against the spread of the virus. In June 2020, Fugaku was named the world's fastest supercomputer. It can perform 415 quadrillion computations a second, which is 2.8 times faster than the former fastest supercomputer, the Summit system from the US. Fugaku is set to play a part in helping Japan achieve the goals in its Society 5.0 plan, which looks to use technology and data to balance economic growth with resolving social problems. Other than helping with medical science, it could be used to better predict natural disasters like earthquakes, or help with the development of clean energy. 🍀SNS Website:http://japantravelvlog.com/ (http://japantravelvlog.com/) instagram:https://www.instagram.com/kidslovejapan/ (https://www.instagram.com/kidslovejapan/) twitter: https://twitter.com/KidsLove_Japan/ (https://twitter.com/KidsLove_Japan/) facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gmsi.jp/ (https://www.facebook.com/gmsi.jp/) WorldNews:https://anchor.fm/worldnews/ (https://anchor.fm/worldnews/) Tumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/kidslove-japan/ (https://www.tumblr.com/blog/kidslove-japan/) blog: http://masako-toybox.seesaa.net/ (http://masako-toybox.seesaa.net/) ✅SUBSCRIBE https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHl6jliVGhN3z978Rh1L-AQ?sub_confirmation=1 (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHl6jliVGhN3z978Rh1L-AQ?sub_confirmation=1) #WorldNews #AudioNews
