interesting indeed as a concept and to explore how far one can go to overcome some of the natural deficiencies of wood. regarding the main purpose of debris avoidance, it's typically not the structure that survives re-entry and one would have to see the environmental effect of what would be released in the atmosphere when burning.
If you have 45 minutes and you want to learn a bit about inverse design of metasurfaces using machine learning, then I would highly recommend this talk.
I found it very easy to follow both the physics and machine learning parts of it.
(Lucy in the sky with diamonds....?)
UK billionaire is using entirely renewable sources to make "sky diamonds" from captured CO2 and hydrogen from rainwater...
The CVD technology they use is not new but the idea of mining diamonds from the sky is cool!
I wonder if this could be used for irregular adaptive grids?
From the description:
"One application of the diagram is the idea of Voronoi entropy - a mathematical tool for quantitative characterisation of the orderliness of points distributed on a surface - i.e. how visually 'ordered' the tessellation is. I found this idea particularly fascinating especially when thinking about the aperiodicity and the infinite structure of the Penrose tiling. In these visuals, the Voronoi diagram is created using the vertices of the Penrose as its seed points. This creates a new type of Penrose Tiling, clearly different from the classical Penrose, however still exhibiting the fivefold structure of the original, while 'defects' begin to appear at the peripheries."
We're obviously not crypto-bros in the team, but this lengthy article is nonetheless very much worth a read to try to make sense of all this madness. Written by an expert in economics and finance, doesn't hold back any punches!
