Additive Manufacturing Ups Its Game
Additive manufacturing, aka 3D printing, makes parts one at a time and eliminates the need for retooling when a design is changed. For now, high-volume additive manufacturing remains more expensive than traditional production, but the goal is to make it part of the standard manufacturing tool kit.

Hybrid Perovskite Material Could Be Key to Making Organic Diode Lasers
Researchers are closer to creating a tunable semiconductor diode laser from hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites. Using a material composed of an inorganic perovskite sublattice with relatively big organic molecules confined in the middle, a Penn State research team demonstrated that optically pumped continuous-wave lasing could be sustained for over an hour.

Welding System Could Help Extend Lives of Nuclear Power Plants
A system for welding highly irradiated metal alloys has been developed by researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in partnership with the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). The ORNL/EPRI system uses advanced techniques that introduce less stress than conventional welding, thereby reducing cracking.
