Former SpaceX engineers are building a robotic factory for making steel parts

Three former SpaceX engineers have switched their attention from making rocket engines to manufacturing steel parts by using AI-driven software and robots. Their immediate goal involves establishing a prototype factory that can automate most of the steel fabrication process for crucial infrastructure components by 2027. The startup, called 1872, officially launched on July 22 with

Atolls take 30 million years to form, yet support 31 million seabirds

Atolls across the Indo-Pacific support thirty-one million nesting seabirds annually. These islands provide essential breeding grounds for many tropical seabird species. Seabird droppings return significant nutrients to island and ocean ecosystems. This nutrient deposition helps marine and terrestrial environments thrive. Protecting these fragile atolls is crucial for wildlife and human communities.
