New Mexico additive manufacturing software developer Sigma Labs, has obtained third-party validation of its PrintRite3D platform in a study by U.S. defense agency DARPA.

The study discusses the validation process involved in producing complex metal parts of consistent quality. It was sponsored by DARPA’s Open Manufacturing Program and conducted in conjunction with aircraft engine manufacturer Honeywell Aerospace, which has been collaborating with Sigma labs since 2014.

As an agency of the United States Department of Defense (DoD), DARPA is responsible for the development of emerging technologies for use by the military. In line with this goal, it created the Open Manufacturing program to ‘lower the cost and speed the delivery of high-quality manufactured goods with predictable performance.’

The stunning emergence of a new type of superconductivity with the mere twist of a carbon sheet has left physicists giddy, and its discoverer nearly overwhelmed.

Google has quietly announced that it will soon start automatically deleting user data. Here’s everything you need to know…

ELON MUSK’S ‘mind-boggling’ Neuralink brain-computer interface, could revolutionise the human consciousness – but the cutting-edge tech could come at a cost, an AI expert has warned.

Network partner Ben Angel previews the second season of his series, ‘Becoming Unstoppable.’

Personal gadgets known as “hearables,” which communicate with the neural signals passing through our ears in order to monitor and interact with our brains, are on their way.

Hearables could help us focus on specific conversations, like smart hearing aids, or monitor our brain activity to treat tinnitus. That’s according to Poppy Crum, the Stanford University neuroscientist and chief scientist at Dolby Laboratories who coined the term, who recently wrote about the concept in IEEE Spectrum.

The emerging tech stands to blur the lines between artificial and biological intelligence, Crum argues — augmenting our thought processes and collaborating with our brains.

Right now Chandra is gazing at a galaxies in Hydra! Nearby in the sky is spiral galaxy ESO 510-G13. The warped appearance of this galaxy suggests it has recently undergone a collision with another galaxy and is in the process of consuming it — a process that will take millions of years!
