The Liberator, for all the hoopla, was not really a gun. This 3D-printed firearm, on the other hand, is a gun. It is a copy of a 1911 made using public-domain plans and a laser sintering system that solidifies metal powder. It fires just like a real semi-automatic pistol
The gun, created by Solid Concepts, is completely legal. The company has a Federal Firearms License and it’s trivial to find the blueprints online. The company created a 3D model of the 1911 and then simply blasted metal powder, heating it up and creating a solid, fireable item. The finished product needed a great deal of finishing including the removal of support material and modifications to the chamber. They laser sintered the nylon grips but used off-the-shelf springs and a store-bought magazine. They have used it to fire over 50 rounds so far.
“We made it to prove out metal laser sintering technology,” said VP of Marketing Scott McGowan. “We think it’s a departure from the Liberator. It’s not done with hobbyist printers. It’s not something you’re going to find in someone’s garage.”

Nothing is more annoying than a really bad itch. But imagine an itch you could never scratch away. Scarily, it’s a real thing.
Anthony explains a possible treatment for chronic itchiness, and the fascinating way our body processes that ‘itchy’ sensation.

Give these dancing water droplets a stage.
In a new video, part of upcoming research out of Clemson University, scientists make levitating water drops bob and jive using ultrasonic waves.
While researchers have demonstrated similar spectacles before — the process is called acoustic levitation — the Clemson team took the experiment a step further and influenced the shape of the water drops.
How did they do it?
The team explains in their pre-published research that when a drop of water is positioned within an acoustic field, the pressure exerted on it creates a flattened spherical shape. The water droplet levitates when multiple sound waves with the same frequency interfere with each other and create a standing wave, causing anything within the acoustic field to be suspended. To mold the shape of the water droplet, researchers used an ultrasonic standing wave to manipulate the field by increasing/decreasing the strength and changing the frequency. The end result is pretty mesmerizing.

A 36-year-old man is accused of going on a killing spree in Texas on Monday night, CBSDFW reported.
Police in Terrell, a town 30 miles east of Dallas, said a shooting rampage over several hours left at least five people dead.
“We’re all in a state of shock,” said Terrell Police Chief Jody Lay. “This is going to have a big impact on us.”
The shootings began around 5 p.m. Monday when police started finding bodies. The first victim was discovered in a home with a bullet wound to the head. Officers were investigating that death when they received word of an arson and a second body nearby.
A friend of the suspect was shot at in a third location, but was not injured.
Around 10:30 p.m., police found two more victims shot to death inside a home. Authorities also discovered a 3-year-old child at the location, uninjured in bed.

Most of us have probably met (and envied) at least one of those mysterious people who never seem to be tired. We’ve sized them up through bleary eyes, and wondered how it is that they don’t look like they spent 30 minutes battling with the snooze button this morning. The answer isn’t necessarily that they have the luxury of more hours to sleep; instead, many of the most well-rested have some simple habits that help them achieve plenty of high-quality rest.
One thing they often have in common? Discipline. The body likes routine, which allows your natural circadian rhythms to kick in. And while it can be tempting to answer one more email or stay for one last round of drinks, well-rested people prioritize sleep the same way they know to do for diet and exercise. “It’s maintaining a regimented sleep/wake cycle and protecting one’s sleep,” says Michael Decker, Ph.D., a sleep specialist and associate professor at Case Western School of Nursing.

A new video lets viewers experience the sensation of flying over the Martian surface based on actual topographical data taken by a European satellite orbiting the red planet.
The mountains, craters, ancient river beds and lava flows that mark the Martian landscape are visible in images from a stereographic camera aboard ESA’s Mars Express probe.
The German Aerospace Center (DLR) released the video as part of celebrations commemorating ten years since Mars Express launched in June 2003, and the DLR’s Stephan Elgner, a member of the mission’s planetary cartography team, wrote the original soundtrack.
Mars Express has so far orbited the planet nearly 12,500 times, building up an almost planet-wide digital topographical model.

Manslaughter charges were filed against three people accused of killing a 3-year-old Florida boy by wrapping him tightly in a blanket and tying the ends as a form of discipline, a Lee County Sheriff’s lieutenant said on Wednesday.
.
Defendant Donella Trainor, a friend of the boy’s grandmother, told investigators she had disciplined her own grandchildren that way, using a technique all three adults knew as “the wrap,” Lieutenant Larry King said.He said she pinned the boy’s arms to his side and rolled him in a king-sized blanket.
.
“There were six layers of cloth over this child. The loose ends would be folded over his head and feet and tied into a knot, all in an effort to prevent the child from moving,” King said. “You could use a mummy reference.”
The boy, Michael Lee McMullen, screamed and pleaded to be released as Trainor wrapped him and put him in his crib for a nap on Saturday, the sheriff’s report said.

The secret to lasting happiness might be neatly summed up in a cheesy neuroscience joke: “The neurons that fire together, wire together.”
“It’s a classic saying, and it’s widely accepted because it’s very true,” neuropsychologist Rick Hanson, author of Hardwiring Happiness: The New Brain Science Of Contentment, Calm and Confidence, tells The Huffington Post. “The longer the neurons [brain cells] fire, the more of them that fire, and the more intensely they fire, the more they’re going to wire that inner strength –- that happiness, gratitude, feeling confident, feeling successful, feeling loved and lovable.”
But on a day to day basis, most of us don’t stay with our positive experiences long enough for them to be encoded into neural structure (meaning there’s not enough wiring and firing going on). On the other hand, we naturally tend to fixate on negative experiences. Positive and negative emotions use different memory systems in the brain, according to Hanson, and positive emotions don’t transfer as easily to long-term memory.
Hanson argues that the problem is we’re wired to scout for the bad stuff — as he puts it, the brain is like velcro for negative experience and teflon for positive ones.

There really can’t be any adult in this great big world that has never tried coffee. It’s consumed everywhere, and judging by the amount of Starbucks locations in the United States alone, (in 2012, there were 10,924!) we love our caffeine.
And that’s fine. In fact, there are many advantages to being one of the 54 percent of Americans over 18 who drink coffee everyday. Coffee can be pretty amazing for your brain, your skin and your body.
