This video and article contain paid promotion for Schindler. LET'S face it: few feats of construction are more awe-inspiring than a skyscraper. Around the world these buildings tower over our cities: emerging from the context of their time, maximising floor area on site, pushing engineers to the max and standing as markers of our progress. But they wouldn’t be viable without one very simple thing: the elevator. Think about it for a moment.

THE WORLD is about to get a new second tallest building. The Burj Azizi is currently under construction in Dubai and will stand a staggering 725-metres above the city when it completes. That height will put it into the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat’s “megatall” category and see it overtake the world’s current second tallest building: Merdeka 118 in Kuala Lumpur. Above: The Burj Azizi will become the world's latest megatall skyscraper. Image courtesy of Azizi Developments.

Saudi Arabian authorities permitted the use of "lethal force" to clear villages in the path of The Line, according to an investigation by BBC News. Colonel Rabih Alenezi, an exiled former Saudi intelligence officer now living in the UK, told BBC News that he was ordered to evict villagers from a tribe in the region and cleared to use lethal force against anyone who "continued to resist". It's claimed that one villager has been shot and killed as a result of the order.

Video hosted by Fred Mills. This video contains paid promotion for Brilliant. THERE'S a huge underground infrastructure project happening in Canada that’s set to transform one of its largest cities. As Vancouver prepares for a population boom in the coming years, midway through a housing crisis, a $2BN new subway line is in progress.

AbstractSpatially resolved transcriptomics technologies have significantly enhanced our ability to understand cellular characteristics within tissue contexts. However, they present a trade-off between spatial resolution and transcriptome coverage. This limitation, compounded with analytical tools treating cell type inference and cellular neighbourhood identification as separate processes, hinders a unified understanding of tissue features across scales.

Video narrated and hosted by Fred Mills. SOMETHING huge is being constructed in a remote corner of Japan. It’s costing over half a billion dollars and is the biggest of its kind in the world. It’s been in development for over 20 years, it's over 80 metres high and nearly 70 metres wide. But you’re not going to spot it very easily because this enormous structure is hidden deep in the landscape – quite literally – and when it’s finished it’ll look like nothing else on earth – well, almost.
