The United States Of America has legalized the 3D-printed weapons. Manufacturing the 3D-printed weapons is quite expensive, and there is needed 3D-printer, what can produce steel parts. That thing is a modified MIG-welding machine, and it's quite expensive. Also, the system needs the CAD-models of every single part of the gun, and then the system must be sharp enough, that the parts would be fitted together. This is why normal people must not be worried about this technology, and that kind of systems are actually so expensive, that lone gunmaker would not have change or willing to pay the prize about that machine.

When we are thinking about the tests, where the guns are made by using 3D-printers, the parts of the weapon have been scanned by using laser scanners for taking precise right form and dimensions of every part of that weapon. So this is the very expensive project, and that's why would be easier to produce illegal weapons by using conventional methods. That's why those weapons, what are made by using 3D-printers are not very common in the hands of hobbyists and other persons.

But those expensive manufacturing tools can be bought by the actors like drug cartels and Mafia, but those organizations have their channels, where they can get weapons. And also some motorcycle clubs may have the interest to buy the 3D-printing system, what can manufacture weapons. As you see, manufacturing the machine parts is not so easy, as people normally believe. The dimensions and form of the part must be made exactly right, or the gun or another machine would not work. Of course is possible that somebody would draw the gun parts by using CAD-programs or scans them to the net by using laser-scanners.

And there is an application for the mobile telephone, what can be used for that thing, but the scanning must happen in the right way, and the telephone should not shake during the process. Of course, there is need the model, what can be used for that action. This is the question of the 3D-printed weapons. If somebody would want this stuff, that person would get it, but that would need highly professionalism to make working weapons or other machines. But there are organizations, what are willing to pay for those skills.

The hydrogen-burning supernovas are interesting models.

"Researchers discovered a significant magnesium anomaly in a meteorite’s dust particle, challenging current astrophysical models and suggesting new insights into hydrogen-burning supernovas. (Artist’s concept.)Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Rare Dust Particle From Ancient Extraterrestrial Meteorite Challenges Astrophysical Models) If the star is too heavy when its fusion reaction starts, it can detonate just at that moment, when its fusion starts. If the collapsing nebula is heavy enough, it can form a black hole straight from the nebula. But if the nebula's gravity is too heavy to form the blue giant or too small it can collapse straight into a black hole . If the forming star is a little bit larger than the blue supergiants. It can explode immediately when the fusion starts. The theory of hydrogen-burning supernovas consists model of the giant stars that explode immediately after their fusion starts. When the...

The ancient galaxy mirrors the Milky Way.

"This image shows the galaxy REBELS-25 as seen by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), overlaid on an infrared image of other stars and galaxies. The infrared image was taken by ESO’s Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). In a recent study, researchers found evidence that REBELS-25 is a strongly rotating disc galaxy existing only 700 million years after the Big Bang. This makes it the most distant and earliest known Milky Way-like galaxy found to date. Credit: ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/L. Rowland et al./ESO/J. Dunlop et al. Ack.: CASU, CALET" (ScitechDaily, Astronomers Baffled by Ancient Galaxy That Mirrors Modern Milky Way) Researchers found the youngest Milky Way-type galaxy. The distance to the galaxy is enormous. And the light that comes from that galaxy named REBELS-25 comes from the Universe that is only 700 million years old. The distance to that galaxy is enormous about 236 billion light years. And that means it's a very dista...

Transcendence, or the ability to transcendent thinking may grow in teen's brains.

"New research has discovered that transcendent thinking, which involves analyzing the broader implications of situations, can foster brain growth in adolescents. This form of thinking enhances brain network coordination, impacting developmental milestones and future life satisfaction. The study emphasizes the need for education that encourages deep, reflective thought, underscoring the critical role of adolescents in their own brain development". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) "Scientists at USC Rossier School of Education’s Center for Affective Neuroscience, Development, Learning and Education (CANDLE) have discovered that adolescents who grapple with the bigger meaning of social situations experience greater brain growth, which predicts stronger identity development and life satisfaction years later". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) The transcendenc...
