The 3-D printer at International Space Station has successfully created the first 3-D printed object in space. This 3-D Printing in Zero-G Technology Demonstration aims to show that additive manufacturing can be used to build a wide range of 3-D printed tools and components in space. The study was also conducted to check whether the 3-D printing process functions the same in microgravity like it does on Earth. This is a significant breakthrough in space technology and opens the doors to future space expeditions.

Scientists at Stony Brook University have successfully made structure measurements of uranium dioxide (UO2) in molten form. Till now, molecular dynamics and physical property measurement models have existed for molten UO2, but as they had been parameterized from their properties in the solid-state, significant differences were observed in their melt structures. As the structure was not certain, the molten UO2 models showed varying characterizations of physical properties which are critical for the safety of a nuclear reactor.
