Sintercore creates first commercial 3D printed metallic firearm component

Sintercore creates first commercial 3D printed metallic firearm component: "Michigan-based Sintercore is billing its Auxetik (pronounced Aug-ZETIK) as the first commercial 3D printed firearm muzzle brake. Made of Inconel alloy using a laser additive manufacturing process, the Auxetik is designed to tame the recoil and muzzle rise of AR-15 pistols chambered for .223 caliber (5.56x45mm) NATO rounds."

Scientists make "Impossible Material" ... by accident

Scientists make "Impossible Material" ... by accident: "In an effort to create a more viable material for drug delivery, a team of researchers has accidentally created an entirely new material thought for more than 100 years to be impossible to make. Upsalite is a new form of non-toxic magnesium carbonate with an extremely porous surface area which allows it to absorb more moisture at low humidities than any other known material. "
