Weight is the major problem in the tallest buildings on Earth.

Weight is the major problem in the tallest buildings on Earth. 

1) What limits the height of the building?

The problem with the tallest buildings on Earth is the weight of the material, and that makes the entirety collapse because the material would not stand the height, or rather saying the strass, what the material, what is above the ground are causing. So if we want to make a very tall building, we can make something, which would decrease the stress of the structure.

Because of the weight of the structure is the main reason, why extremely tall buildings are in danger whenever the wind would strike it, and that thing is the thing, why the structure building must make lighter, and there are a couple of ways to make that thing. And in the first version, we should not need to use any futuristic material.

2) How to decrease the weight of the very tall buildings?

2.1) Making rising airflow in the building

Creating the air pylon inside the house by using ventilation, which allows the airflow in the material or elements is a good way to push the top of the building upwards. That would decrease the weight or stress, which is targeting the base of the house.

The system needs ventilation because if there would be damages on the top, that thing makes the end of the rising airflow, because of the air pylon would not face the layer, what it can push upwards. So there must be ventilation what guarantees that there is the layer, what the air pylon would push upwards. And there is a possibility to connect this solution to the futuristic materials.

2.2) Using nanotubes

Making structures by using tubes makes them lighter, and the airflow can travel in the elements, which would make the living in the house more comfortable, than in the cases, where the airflow would travel in separate tubes. The idea is that even the small tubes, what is put in the elements are very effective things to make the element lightweight.

And when we are thinking about the use of nano- or a normal couple of millimeter carbon fiber tube as the structure of the element, we can make lightweight element, what can have many new benefits. But if we would conduct the rising airflow to the structure, that thing would hang that element.  The problem is that the production of nanotubes in that scale, that it can be used to make the tower to the orbital trajectory is not possible at this moment.

So this means that the use of nanotubes in building structures is too futuristic to accomplish today, and that means that this kind of thing might be the solution of tomorrow. But if the carbon, what is needed to make those fullerene tubes are separated from the air, that thing allows the decreasing level of the carbon dioxide in the air, because of that material can also be used the carbon storage. If the carbon is stored in the form of nanotubes, that means the stable placing of that gas in the form, where carbon cannot release anymore to air.

3) Risks of the active solutions

So by using this kind of method, we can build the houses, which are taller than anytime before. And maybe the active support system can allow creating the space elevator, the tower that rises above the atmosphere. The system can use the airflow for creating the effect, that the top of air pylon would pull the top of the tower upwards. Or in that structure can connect the ion motors, what is keeping it in the right position.

But that kind of thing has its risks. The risk is the electricity to the ion motors would be cut. Or there would be holes in the structure, and that causes the collapse of that building. Of course, the elements would not be made by using one single tube, and there are multiple tubes inside the structure, which makes this kind of thing safer. And the key element in engineers' work is to prepare that something goes wrong.

Plasmonic waves can make new waves in quantum technology.

"LSU researchers have made a significant discovery related to the fundamental properties and behavior of plasmonic waves, which can lead ot the development of more sensitive and robust quantum technologies. Credit: LSU" (ScitechDaily, Plasmonics Breakthrough Unleashes New Era of Quantum Technologies) Plasmonic waves in the quantum gas are the next-generation tools. The plasmonic wave is quite similar to radio waves. Or, rather say it, a combination of acoustic waves and electromagnetic waves. Quantum gas is an atom group. In those atom groups, temperature and pressure are extremely low.  The distance of atoms is long. And when an electromagnetic system can pump energy to those atoms. But the thing in quantum gas is that the atoms also make physical movements like soundwaves. It's possible. To create quantum gas using monoatomic ions like ionized noble gas. In those systems, positive (or negative) atoms push each other away.  When the box is filled with quantum gas and som
