Weaire-Phelan Structure
The Weaire-Phelan structure has 0.3 percent less surface area than the Kelvin structure, which was thought to be the solution to the Kelvin problem since 1887 until a better solution (the Weaire-Phelan structure) was discovered by Denis Weaire at Trinity College Dublin using software which was modern in the early nineties. As part of his "experimentation", Denis Weaire visited the local bar with some bubble making instruments and investigated the bubble foam at the top glasses of beer. The software he used to make the calculations is called Surface Evolver. Designs using the Weaire-Phelan structure include a sculpture at Trinity College and the Beijing Water Cube. The insulation caused by the shape of the plastic cells helps to keep heat in the building. [1]

The Remarkable Journey of Solar-Powered Flight
Once upon a time, in a world grappling with the challenges of climate change, a team of visionary engineers set out on a groundbreaking mission: to demonstrate the possibilities of solar-powered flight. Their innovative aircraft, known as Solaris, would forever change the way we think about aviation and renewable energy.
