3D-printing advance mitigates three defects simultaneously for failure-free metal parts
University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers have found a way to simultaneously mitigate three types of defects in parts produced using a prominent additive manufacturing technique called laser powder bed fusion.
Led by Lianyi Chen, an associate professor of mechanical engineering at UW-Madison, the team discovered the mechanisms and identified the processing conditions that can lead to this Spire Global partners with LatConnect60 to enhance data-driven agriculture practices

The Wor NASA partners advance projects for LEO space economy
NASA and its commercial partners are achieving significant milestones in the advancement of low Earth orbit (LEO) projects. These accomplishments are driving innovation in human spaceflight and enhancing commercial capabilities, with progress ranging from safety advancements to technological developments.
"Our commercial partners' growing capabilities in low Earth orbit underscore NASA's c China launches new mapping satellites to enhance radar imaging network
China successfully launched two new satellites aboard a Long March-2C rocket early Monday morning, bolstering its satellite imaging capabilities.
The launch occurred at 7:39 a.m. Beijing Time from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China. The mission placed the Siwei Gaojing-2 03 and Siwei Gaojing-2 04 satellites into their designated orbits, marking the 547th mission in the NASA Voyager 1 returns to full operations after communication issue
NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft has successfully resumed normal operations following a communication disruption last month. The issue arose when the spacecraft unexpectedly switched from its primary X-band radio transmitter to a weaker S-band transmitter, a change that temporarily halted the transfer of science and engineering data. The distance of Voyager 1 - approximately 15.4 billion miles (24.9
