Sweden is going old-school with a futuristic new project (is that an oxymoron?): Stockholm Wood City is set to be the world's largest city built entirely out of timber. The practice of using wood as a primary construction material began to decline in the 19th century, but fire-proofed engineered wood is bringing it back into play more regularly, and the upcoming development in Sweden aims to be a model for countries around the world. Check out this week's featured article to learn about the project's environmental boons and see more renderings.

A Serene Swedish City Made Entirely Out of Wood Is Set to Be World's Largest
Building with timber rather than concrete or steel could be key to offsetting construction industry emissions, and with 70% of its landmass blanketed in forests, Sweden has plenty of the renewable resource at its disposal.
You may not have seen robots dancing lately, but they're making big moves behind the scenes. In fact, most expect 2025 to be the year robots go mainstream. One place it's already happening? Fast food kitchens. Take Miso Robotics. The company's latest AI-powered fry-cooking robot, Flippy Fry Station, is 50% smaller and two times faster than ever. And after collaborations with Nvidia and Amazon, this next-gen model is designed for mass adoption. No wonder brands like White Castle and Jack in the Box are lining up for it. Now, after selling out its first run in seven days, Miso is ready to scale this tech industry-wide. You can join as an early investor, but not after next week. Invest while you can.
