The NGC is one of the largest astronomical catalogs containing 7,840 entries and is why…
Scientists Develop New Surface Finishing for 3D-Printing
Researchers at Waseda University in Japan developed a process they say dramatically improves the quality of 3D-printed resin products. The new technique improves surface texture and increases structural rigidity through a process called 3D Chemical Melting Finishing, or 3D-CMF, which uses a tool similar to a felt-tip pen to apply solvent selectively to specific parts…
Hubble Finds Young Super Star Cluster, Giant Star
NASA scientists have gotten a closer look at one of the largest stars ever discovered in a super star cluster, thanks to images from the Hubble Space Telescope. A new image from Hubble has revealed a young super star cluster called Westerlund 1, home to a gigantic star known as Westerlund 1-26. Westerlund 1 is a star…
