This $8 tool has dramatically improved my 3D printing results

AFA Tooling deburring tool is displayed with spare blades. Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNET3D printing still feels like Star Trek technology to me. I input some code, and the printer. It's perfect.  Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNETThe deburring blade has a safety tip to make it harder to cut yourself, but it's still wise to take precautions, and if you want to be extra cautious, cut-resistant gloves . For that, you get the handle and a single deburring blade. If you're only going to be deburring plastic 3D prints, then

Mushroom Extract Shown to Dramatically Improve Brain-Cell Growth in The Lab : ScienceAlert

Fungi have attracted attention in recent years for their potential in aiding our brains' growth and functionality. And no, we're not just talking about the psychedelic ones.The lion's mane mushroom, for one, has long had a reputation for various mental health benefits, with recent research supporting its potential in reducing risk for depression or limiting damage from Alzheimer's disease.In a new study conducted by an international team of scientists, researchers identified compounds in the lion's mane mushroom…

Colorado’s population growth slowed dramatically in 2021

For a state used to growing at a torrid pace for decades, the past two years were tantamount to Colorado crashing headlong into a demographic brick wall. In 2021, the Centennial State added 26,489 new people while last year 27,717 new folks called Colorado home. The state hasn’t seen such anemic growth since Roy Romer occupied the governor’s mansion in 1990, a year when Colorado added barely 13,000 new residents. Compared to the decade from 2010 to 2020, when the state gained an average of 70,000 new residents a year, the…

The Number of American Kids Eating Cannabis Has Surged Dramatically : ScienceAlert

The number of American children accidentally ingesting cannabis edibles has jumped nearly 15 times in recent years as more states have legalized the recreational use of marijuana, according to a scientific study published Tuesday.In 2017, just over 200 children aged five or younger consumed a food product infused with cannabis, according to a tally kept by health officials, compared to over 3,050 cases in 2021, said the study in the medical journal Pediatrics.Often sold in the form of candy, chocolate, or cookies,…

Discover the Fascinating 22,000-Year Cycle That Dramatically Shapes Seasons in the Equatorial Pacific

A temperature map of the Pacific Ocean for December 1993 showing a cold (blue) tongue of surface water stretching westward along the equator from the coast of South America. The temperature and extent of the cold tongue changes with the seasons, but new climate simulations show that the annual change in Earth’s distance from the sun also affects the cold tongue seasonal cycle. This influences El Niño conditions that impact weather in North America and globally. Credit: John Chiang, UC BerkeleyAn unrecognized effect boosts…

Google dramatically slashes the trade-in value for Pixel phones

A lot of people, when upgrading to another phone, don’t actually pay full price. There are all types of subsidies, contracts, and special trade-in offers to help customers get a new phone for cheap. Google had a massive trade-in deal for folks who wanted to get a new Pixel 7. However, according to 9To5Google, the company dramatically cut the trade-in value for phones, and this includes its own Pixel phones.When the Pixel 7 phones launched, there were some pretty sweet trade-in deals that you could capitalize on. This…

Clean Air Act dramatically cut vehicle pollution, but inequities remain

Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain The 1972 Clean Air Act has driven spectacular decreases in pollution from U.S. passenger vehicles but poses a challenge for pollution policy in poor communities, according to the first comprehensive study of air pollution exhaust standards, by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley; the University of California, San Diego; and the University of Pennsylvania.…

Erosion of Rocky Coastlines May Dramatically Accelerate Due to Sea Level Rise

Bideford is a historic port town on the estuary of the River Torridge in north Devon, south-west England.

This is especially concerning because rock coasts make up over half the world’s coastlines.This is the finding of new <span class="glossaryLink" aria-describedby="tt" data-cmtooltip="<div class=glossaryItemTitle>Imperial College London</div><div…
