新聞錦集

World’s First 3D-Printed Bridge Unveiled in Amsterdam

        A rough neighborhood in Amsterdam has gotten a massive facelift with the addition of an ultra-modern 3D-printed bridge. Created by Dutch designer Joris Laarman, it was inaugurated by Queen Máxima of the Netherlands in July of 2021.

        The bridge—the first of its kind—was created with an innovative 3D-printing technique developed by a company called MX3D. Every inch of its 12-meter length was not only built to be eyecatching but also packed with smart technology. The built-in sensors will help researchers monitor the structure’s state and stability in real time, and also gather data on local and tourist traffic.

        Local authorities foresee the bridge attracting people who are interested in architecture and modern design, which will hopefully give the area a better reputation.

 

Algeria Helps World Become Fully Unleaded

        In August of 2021, the UN announced that the last remaining country in the world to still use leaded gasoline—Algeria—was officially removing the fuel from its pumpsFor the first time since it began being used in 1922, leaded gasoline will be completely obsolete.

        Considered acutely poisonous, lead has extremely detrimental effects on anything and anyone that comes in contact with it. It has contaminated drinking water, food crops, and the air for nearly a century. In young children, it damages their brain’s development center and affects their ability to learn. It has also been known to cause heart disease, strokes, and cancer. A small battle for the environment has been won, but the war rages on because lead is still being used in paints, batteries, and household items.
