Europe’s largest 3D-printed affordable apartment complex was completed in France in just 34 days

With 12 total affordable housing units, Europe’s — and potentially the world’s — largest 3D-printed apartment building is now complete in France. The building is three floors and was completed in just 34 days.

The developer behind the project printed it next to a similar building that used traditional building techniques, but took three months longer to complete.

The team behind it is already planning another, larger project that will include 40 apartments.

Why is this good news? Traditional construction is expensive and time-consuming. As the housing crisis reaches all corners of the world, 3D-printed solutions reduce the time required to construct more housing supply, and do so at a lower cost.

The majority of Americans trust vaccine scientists

In 2025, Harvard University researchers found that trust in vaccine scientists had declined significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Today, new data shows that public trust in vaccine scientists has increased across the board. A national survey from the Annenberg Public Policy Center found that a majority of Americans value vaccine scientists as equally credible, self-correcting, unbiased, and beneficial as scientists overall.

Of 1,650 U.S. adults surveyed, 69% of people said they trusted vaccine scientists to act in their best interests, a similar statistic to the amount who trust medical scientists (72%) and scientists in general (70%).
