Japan’s Kansai International Airport, often mistaken as a floating airport, is actually built on a man-made island in Osaka Bay.

It opened in 1994 and cost around $20 billion to construct. The airport was a major engineering achievement, designed to solve land shortage and noise pollution issues near urban centers.

However, it was constructed on soft seabed clay, which has caused it to sink more than 12 meters since opening—double the amount engineers initially predicted.

The island continues to subside slowly, currently at a rate of around 4 to 6 centimeters per year, though the pace has been gradually slowing.

To combat the sinking, engineers have continually raised buildings and runways and installed advanced protective measures like seawalls and pumps.

With the added threat of sea-level rise due to climate change, experts warn that the airport could face severe flooding or even be at risk of submersion by 2056.

However, this projection depends on many variables, and Japan is actively implementing engineering solutions to extend the airport’s operational life.

Japanese scientists have engineered lab-grown skin from real human cells and applied it to robots—granting them the ability to mimic human facial expressions like smiling, and even heal wounds just like living tissue.
The artificial skin, made of collagen and dermal fibroblasts, can stretch and repair itself when damaged. It attaches seamlessly to robot faces using special 3D-printed anchors, allowing dynamic movement and more lifelike interactions.

Future Applications
From advanced humanoid robots to future skin grafts and prosthetics, this innovation could revolutionize not only robotics but also reconstructive and cosmetic medicine.

Scientists Just Regrew Part of the Eye — and Brought Back Sight!
In a groundbreaking study from Japan, researchers used stem cells to regenerate eye tissue and restore vision in patients once thought permanently blind.

This breakthrough could soon help millions around the world see again, opening a new chapter in regenerative medicine.
