Multi-axis 3D printing with curved layers! 🖨️ Researchers from the The University of Manchester introduced a neural network-based computational pipeline as a representation-agnostic slicer for multi-axis 3D printing. Traditional 3D printing works like stacking pancakes, flat layers on top of each other. 🥞 This often requires temporary support structures that get thrown away after printing, wastes material, and creates weaker parts. Multi-axis 3D printing can print along curved paths that follow the object's natural shape. This eliminates support structures and makes stronger parts. But figuring out these curved paths is mathematically complex, you need to avoid collisions, respect what the printer can physically do, and optimize for strength. The neural network solves this automatically. It learns to create a "field" around the object, then extracts curved printing paths from this field. Because the entire process is differentiable (translation for non-math specialists, meaning you can optimize it end-to-end), the AI can directly optimize for manufacturing goals like "no support structures needed" and "make it as strong as possible."

CERN scientists successfully transported antiprotons, a form of antimatter, by truck across their campus on 3/24/26,world-first test. If those opposites come into contact,they “annihilate” each other, setting off lots of energy, depending on the mass. the Associated Press live stream in comments.

This is incredible. This machine is capable of cleaning up 100 million kg of plastic ocean waste, and as of 2025, it has already collected about 500,000 kg of plastic. It aims to remove 90% of ocean plastic by 2040.

🚨 BREAKING: SCOTUS Justice Sam Alito just DROPPED THE MIC on liberals who want us to receive endless mail-in ballots after election *day* "We have LOTS of phrases that involve two words, the last of which, the second of which is DAY. Labor DAY, Memorial DAY, George Washington's birthDAY, Independence DAY, birth DAY, and election DAY!" "And they're all particular DAYS." "So if we start with that, if I have nothing more to look at than the phrase election day, I think this is the DAY in which everything is going to take place, or almost everything." 🔥🔥🔥

Awoke this morning feeling a child-like vibe of life. Bubbling excitement for what the day holds. Novelty in the smallest of things. Unburdened by the clouds of worry that dim an adults life. Possibility painting the horizon.

JUST IN: Los Angeles authorities are currently carrying out potentially the largest animal rescue operation in United States history. L.A. officials are reportedly removing an estimated 700 dogs and cats from a property in Antelope Valley. According to investigators, the animals were in the care of Christine De Anda of Rock N Pawz animal rescue. During the search, about 400 dogs and 300 cats were found. Dozens of LA County Department of Animal Care and Control staff members and mutual aid partners arrived at the scene and provided medical aid to the animals. "This is the largest number of dogs and cats that DACC has ever seized and may be the largest case ever in the United States," LACO Animals said in a statement. Video: KTLA 5

NASA accidentaly proves the crucifixion of Jesus Christ?! According to the Synoptic Gospels, specifically Luke 23:44–45, a mysterious darkness descended over the land starting at "the sixth hour" (noon) and lasting until "the ninth hour" (3:00 p.m.). Traditionally, this period of midday gloom has been distinguished from a standard solar eclipse, which lasts only minutes. Instead, it is described as a supernatural or atmospheric shroud occurring while Jesus remained on the Cross. As evening fell on that same day, astronomical models confirm that a partial lunar eclipse was visible from Jerusalem. A "Blood Moon" occurs during a lunar eclipse when the Earth blocks direct sunlight from reaching the moon; the only light reflected from the lunar surface is filtered through Earth’s atmosphere, which scatters shorter blue wavelengths and allows longer red wavelengths to pass through. This scientific reality aligns with the words of the Apostle Peter in Acts 2:20, who, citing the prophet Joel, declared that "the sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood" before the coming of the great day of the Lord. Modern calculations from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory allow historians to "rewind" the sky to the first century. Their data confirms several key factors for Friday, April 3, 33 AD: Visibility: The eclipse began below the horizon, meaning that as the moon rose over Jerusalem that evening, it would have already appeared "eclipsed" or deeply crimsoned. The Jewish Calendar: This date coincides perfectly with the 14th of Nisan, the preparation day for Passover, which is the specific timeframe recorded for the Crucifixion. Duration: The moon remained in the Earth's shadow for a significant portion of the rising, making the "blood" appearance a visible, public sign to the inhabitants of Judea. The presence of a confirmed lunar eclipse on the most likely date of the Crucifixion suggests an extraordinary convergence. While the midday darkness (noon to 3 p.m.) remains a unique phenomenon beyond standard orbital patterns, the evening Blood Moon provides a verifiable astronomical "timestamp" that grounds the biblical account in physical history.

NEW: 67-year-old Karen Cooke Lewis arrested for scratching a Tesla Cybertruck with nails on a board in Collettsville, North Carolina. The owner of the Cybertruck says he had no clue who Karen was. "We had all the craziness with Teslas when Elon was part of Doge and all that stuff, but I thought we had kind of gotten past that and I'd kind of made it through unscathed," the owner said. Karen was arrested and charged with injury to personal property. When will they realize that Teslas have cameras that are recording them?

Apple selling cheap laptops means it’s giving up on being an aspirational brand. Means it’s run out of ideas - which has been obvious for a while with the goggles and the thicker phones and iPads. It’s like if Mercedes entered the compact truck market.

NEWS: Jeff Bezos' rocket company Blue Origin has filed an official request with the FCC to launch and operate a constellation of 51,600 AI satellites (orbital datacenters), just two weeks after Amazon filed a formal petition calling on the FCC to deny @SpaceX’s 1 million-satellite proposal for orbiting datacenters, going as far to claim the project would take “centuries” to deploy. Blue Origin's project, called “Project Sunrise,” would include up to 51,600 satellites in low Earth orbit, designed to run AI and cloud computing workloads using constant solar power. The system would primarily use laser (optical) links between satellites. Blue Origin says "space-based data centers could relieve pressure on Earth’s power grids and water usage."
