Living and working for extended periods in underwater habitats is not by itself anything new. The French aquanaut and oceanographer Jacques Cousteau did it first in 1962 with his Conshelf habitat, which was placed off the coast of Marseille, France, at a depth of 33 feet underwater. Cousteau experimented with larger habitats at greater depths throughout the 1960s, as did the U.S. Navy with its SEALAB program.

The old joke about only two seasons – winter and road construction – might become obsolete. A new collaboration between researchers at Arizona State University and the Maricopa (Arizona) County Department of Transportation has transformed bridge repair work from a weekslong endeavor to a weekend project. The final project even came in far below the allotted budget. Further reading: How well does concrete-filled steel deck flooring perform under pressure?
Crunching 12 years of data with AI helps predict oil pipeline failure causes
