3-D printing—or additive manufacturing, as it is sometimes called—builds parts by depositing layers of metals, thermoplastics, and even ceramics in a design dictated by a computer file. The technology, which can create complex things that are difficult to manufacture traditionally, has been used to print highly customized products like hearing aids and parts for airplane engines.
Promoted as an aid to good health, artificial sweeteners may in fact be boosting diabetes risk, said an Israeli study Wednesday that urged a rethink of their widespread use and endorsement.
Also called non-calorific artificial sweeteners, or NAS, the additives are found in diet sodas, cereals and desserts — a huge market for people worried about weight gain and sugar intake.
Some experts recommend NAS for people with Type 2 diabetes, a disease that has attained pandemic proportions, and for a pre-diabetic condition called glucose intolerance, with elevated blood-sugar levels.

CyPhy Works has been awarded a contract with the Air Force to build a small drone for search-and-rescue operations, its second military contract.
The Danvers, MA-based company said today that it will design and test the Extreme Access Pocket Flyer, a drone that’s about 7 inches by 7 inches wide and few inches thick. That makes it small enough to be easily carried by military personnel, who could use it to look for bombs without getting out of a vehicle.
The Pocket Flyer takes advantage of CyPhy Works’ core innovation: a fiber optic tether that allows the operator to remotely control and power the device over a secure and reliable connection. The pocket drone will also have a panoramic camera that will provide a video feed to the remote operator.
