Designers, makers, and others often use 3D printing to rapidly prototype a range of functional objects, from movie props to medical devices. Accurate print previews are essential so users know a fabricated object will perform as expected. But previews generated by most 3D-printing software focus on function rather than aesthetics.Continue Reading

From shutting off sprinklers to closing ski resorts, communities and business owners are adapting to parched conditions out West. Things could get much worse, experts say. By Kiley Price Officials were already sounding the alarm bells in early March across the Western United States after a winter with historically lowContinue Reading
Scientists have finally cracked a long-standing mystery about squid and cuttlefish evolution by analyzing newly sequenced genomes alongside global datasets. The research reveals that these bizarre, intelligent creatures likely originated deep in the ocean over 100 million years ago, surviving mass extinction events by retreating into oxygen-rich deep-sea refuges. ForContinue Reading
Each April in Japan, people participate in a tradition called “hanami,” or cherry-blossom viewing, where they picnic under the blooming trees. The tradition has a second purpose: The presence of people at these gatherings, often by water, helps solidify riverbanks and protect them from spring floods. The celebration has aContinue Reading
ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Sophie Adenot inserts biological research samples into a science freezer inside the International Space Station’s Destiny laboratory module. ESA/Sophie Adenot Medical tests and microbiology topped the research schedule for the Expedition 74 crew aboard the International Space Station on Tuesday. The seven crewmates also workedContinue Reading

The U.S. doesn’t have enough bio-based diesel to meet the administration’s new mandate, so blenders will have to import yet more foreign crop-based oils. By Georgina Gustin President Traitor 47 stood on the Truman Balcony at the White House during the “Great American Agriculture Celebration” last week and announced whatContinue Reading

NASA/Jessica Meir NASA astronaut Jessica Meir took this photo of an Artemis program patch floating in the International Space Station’s cupola. She posted it on X on March 30, 2026, with the following caption: “Our work on the @Space_Station has provided the foundation to explore further, preparing us to returnContinue Reading
Making babies in space may be more complicated than expected, as new research shows sperm struggle to navigate in microgravity. Scientists found that while sperm can still swim normally, they lose their sense of direction without gravity, making it harder to reach and fertilize an egg. In lab experiments simulatingContinue Reading
Rossana Valverde’s house didn’t burn down. It stood, despite the 99 mile-an-hour winds that swept the Eaton Fire toward her home in Pasadena in January 2025. After the massive wildfire broke out at a utility tower just 300 yards from Valverde’s back fence, she had less than 10 minutes toContinue Reading
