UK-based engineering equipment supplier Kingsbury and metal additive manufacturing company Additure have been appointed by the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) to supply additive manufacturing technology and expertise as part of the UK’s ongoing efforts to advance fusion energy research. The partnership will support the development of components designed to endure the extreme conditions within fusion reactors, with a focus on innovative materials and design approaches. A key area of focus involves the use of tungsten—layered with materials such as copper—to achieve the necessary durability. To support this work, Kingsbury and Additure will deliver and install a Nikon SLM Solutions SLM 280 2.0 Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) system at UKAEA’s facilities. “We are excited to support the team at the UKAEA as they scale, not just with the SLM 280’s LPBF capability, but with all the key elements of the AM ecosystem to make this a robust manufacturing solution for UKAEA and the UK’s fusion programme,” said Will Priest, Business Development Manager at Additure.

It operates as an executive non-departmental public body, sponsored by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. A key part of its mission involves fostering industrial fusion capability by working with manufacturers and supply chains to introduce and scale the technologies required for commercial fusion energy deployment. “The UKAEA aims to develop the commercialisation of additive manufacturing and support UK industry in the transition into the fusion energy sector. We conduct the complex areas of research and development to the point where it becomes commercially viable, the advice and support of our supply chain is hugely valuable in expediting this process,” said Roy Marshall, Head of Operations for Fabrication, Installation, and Maintenance at UKAEA.

Additure’s Role and Technology Contribution At the center of this initiative is the SLM 280 2.0, an LPBF system designed for high-performance applications, including the development of refractory metals. The system offers build speeds up to 80% faster than single-laser alternatives and includes integrated safety features such as a powder sieve module and system cooling enhancements. Beyond equipment delivery, Additure is also providing comprehensive technical training to UKAEA’s research, materials, and design teams. This includes detailed guidance on machine setup, build optimization, and specialized functions—such as a heated reduced build volume. “The applications training from Additure will provide our engineers with new ways to design some of the complex structures required by fusion and allow them to do this using some of the most challenging materials to work with. For additive manufacture to contribute to fusion energy, more designers need to think, ‘What process is most suitable for the desired thermal or structural performance?’ And ‘how do I create a design that is best optimised for additive manufacture?’”, said Mr. Marshall. Advancing Laser Beam Shaping 3D Printing  Given its notable advantages for industrial metal 3D printing, beam shaping capabilities are being developed and commercialized by several players in the research and LPBF 3D printing spheres. In 2024, German research organization Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT showcased its new 3D printing beam shaping technology. Working with the Chair of Technology of Optical Systems (TOS) at RWTH Aachen University, the new platform, the Fraunhofer team is developing a test system for investigating complex laser beam profiles.  This platform can create customized beam profiles for laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) 3D printing, enhancing part quality, process stability and productivity, while minimizing material waste.  In 2022, Equispheres and Aconity3D used laser beam-shaping 3D printing to achieve build rates nearly nine times higher than industry norms. Equispheres’ NExP-1 aluminum powder was used with Aconity3D’s AconityMIDI+ LPBF 3D printer to unlock speeds exceeding 430 cm3/hr for a single laser.  The system was modified to employ a PG YLR 3000/1000-AM laser with beam-shaping capabilities. By using a shaped beam over a zoomed Gaussian profile, the team reduced overheating and mitigated spatter formation during high-speed 3D printing.  Take the 3DPIReader Survey — shape the future of AM reporting in under 5 minutes.

This home and gallery in Clapham, south London, reflects the owners’ vision for a versatile environment. We reworked the previously disconnected layout into an adaptable hybrid working/living condition, where everyday duties are easily integrated into the family’s lives, exploring the boundaries and flow between private and public spaces. We worked with what existed, developed an understanding of the potential to both reinvent and protect the building envelope, extending its lifespan. We provided a cost-effective and lower-carbon alternative that included the integration of the garden. The spaces were designed to allow family members to find their moments of peace and joy, whether in the gallery, the kitchen or the children’s bedrooms. The project aims to exemplify how well-planned, purpose-led design decisions can result in dynamic spaces, reflecting the young, creative family’s unique ‘living with art’ ethos and aspirations. Advertisement In the evening, the family gathers in the kitchen to cook, eat, play and unwind. Located in the basement, the open-plan area is illuminated by two bookended triangular oriel openings, bringing natural light into the lower-ground space. One is a triangular skylight, a corner for contemplation and play; the other is a door opening up to the garden outside.

There are lots of flat plasterboard surfaces in the project and, knowing that the client wanted a lot of expression, we decided to experiment with colour and textures in the joinery. For example, a lot of experimentation and care went into the bespoke kitchen cabinetry, imported from Denmark by Brouns and Co, which was stained with linseed oil. There was no wastage in the new marble countertop, which determined the height of the splashback and the length of the units. Amalia Skoufoglou, director, O’Sullivan Skoufoglou Architects   Specification The client’s brief called for a resilient, yet playful, rich materiality that could combine with a restrained, pared-down aesthetic suited to displays of art. This meant that materials were considered at a very early point in the project. In a quest to find connections with the existing typical London stock brick, different textures and details were tested, some of which were a direct response, some of which were not. The lower ground floor, the most materially rich space, opening out onto a new garden patio, is paved in flamed granite sourced from Portugal, the most economically viable, geographically closest, natural stone that could be sourced. To provide a seamless transition, the same granite tile in a honed finish continues internally. There is an EPD-accredited green terrazzo tile in the two bookended triangles, emphasising the linearity of the space.Advertisement One of the bigger material statements on the ground floor is the fire surround, which is clad in made-to-order slabs from Granby Rock, a durable recycled terrazzo manufactured using 70 per cent recycled aggregates.

Costing $1000, the Heston 120 is an undoubtedly ambitious debut. WIRED spoke with chief product and innovation officer, Gustaf Rosell, on how it's going to compete.

When we look at the relationship between 73-year-old legendary football coach Bill Belichick and his girlfriend and business partner, 24-year-old Jordon Hudson, it’s hard to know exactly what we’re seeing. Two grown-ups in love forging a dynamic business partnership? Elder abuse, as some have wildly speculated? Or is it, as the vitriolic comments in Hudson’s social media posts would have it, good old-fashioned gold digging? Gold digging is a misogynistic and retro term, but this scandal is a retro one. It’s a bizarre, slightly off-putting mystery that fits remarkably well into our current age of newly regressive gender politics.Hudson and Belichick, the six-time Super Bowl-winning former NFL coach, met on a flight in 2021 and went public with their relationship last December. While their nearly 50-year age gap has raised eyebrows amid observers, the scandal has only grown as Hudson has taken on an increasingly central role in Belichick’s professional world. It’s a bizarre, slightly off-putting mystery that fits remarkably well into our current age of newly regressive gender politics.Belichick requested Hudson be cc’ed on all publicity and media emails about him at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he is now a college football coach. In public records, she’s listed as the manager of several companies that appear to be tied to Belichick. Insider accounts say she essentially cast herself in a Dunkin Donuts commercial in which Belichick appeared, and that she blocked a docuseries about Belichick’s career. But speculation around the relationship reached a fever pitch when Hudson interrupted during Belichick’s interview on CBS Sunday Morning in April. “How did you guys meet?” host Tony Dokoupil asked Belichick, referring to Hudson. “We’re not talking about this,” Hudson cut in tersely from off-camera. “Jordon was a constant presence during our interview,” Dokoupil informs viewers in voiceover, in a moment that launched a thousand TikTok reaction videos. In the midst of this controversy, the couple has been manufacturing social media content about their relationship that isn’t alarming so much as it is lightly uncanny, especially given Belichick’s famously gruff public persona. On Hudson’s Instagram account, she has posted beachside pictures of herself balancing athletically on Belichick’s outstretched legs, and of Belichick, dressed as a fisherman, reeling in a mermaid-tailed Hudson from the surf. (“Ouucchhhh!!!” goes the caption on that one.)A few have defended the relationship between Belichick and Hudson. Sports media personality Colin Cowherd has said that Hudson’s choice to hop into Belichick’s interview was normal for PR directors, if “kind of a cringy thing.” Right-wing sports outlet The Outkick has rallied to Hudson’s side on the grounds that she triggers the libs, saying, “If Jordon wants to spend her weekends at Bill’s house on Nantucket, soaking up the sun and enjoying Cisco Brewery on Bill’s dime, I say GO FOR IT.” But the most common reaction to the spectacle of Hudson and Belichick’s relationship is the one outlined by sports media personality Katie Nolan on a podcast in February: This is weird and seems like it has sinister undertones.“We’re already going, ‘You’re how much younger than him?’ And then you show up in a commercial. And then you hear that she’s in charge in his career.” Nolan said. “It seems like you could be taking advantage of the guy. And he’s obviously taking advantage of the girl.” Notably, it doesn’t appear to be much of a head-scratcher why a powerful septuagenarian would choose to be with a recent college graduate and pageant contestant. But the nefarious reason implied about why Hudson wants to be with Belichick is the one people are misogynistically and freely throwing around: gold digger.The resurgence of the gold digger I don’t know anything about Hudson and Belichick’s private relationship, and most likely, neither do you. I don’t want to make any claims about who is using whom or what their private life is like. But as a feminist pop culture critic, I am interested to see the term “gold digger” swim back up from the collective unconsciousness again, ready and willing to go to work. There’s something almost old-fashioned about it. The last time “gold digger” was thrown around in pop culture so much was when teenager Courtney Stodden skyrocketed to fame in 2011 after they got married at age 16 to 51-year-old actor Doug Hutchison. Stodden would later describe their marriage as one characterized by grooming and sexual assault. Before that, the great pop culture gold digger was Anna Nicole Smith, the model turned paparazzi obsession who married oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II in 1994. Since Smith’s untimely death in 2007, she’s found a place in the pantheon of wronged women of the 1990s, someone we came to believe over the last decade was publicly mistreated — in part by her tarring as a gold digger. “It’s a bit provincial to look down one’s nose at a woman wanting something from a man and give a pass to a man who arguably would have never given her a second glance had she not been a beautiful, blonde Playboy Playmate,” essayist and sex work activist Laura LeMoon argued in 2023, writing about Smith in Salon. “Rather than singling out and condemning Anna Nicole Smith, we should be pointing our fingers at the inequities and systemic failures that put people like me and Smith in positions where obtaining money and resources from men, directly or indirectly, is our best option for survival.”“Gold digger” is a euphemism that allows us as a culture to talk around those systemic failures. It’s a way to deride women when they take seriously the idea that their financial well-being should depend on their relationships with men. So it’s odd to see the term becoming so popular during a moment when popular culture has become rather infatuated with the idea that life is most pleasant, simple, and straightforward when women’s finances do depend on romantic relationships with men.TikTok is full of tradwives explaining how their lives became better once they got out of the 9-to-5 grind to make cereal from scratch for their children and let their husbands do the breadwinning. (That the most successful of the tradwife influencers are actually the primary breadwinners in their homes is an irony the influencers themselves seldom discuss.) Or there are the stay-at-home girlfriends cooing over how taking care of their boyfriends without even the financial safety net of a marriage contract has been their ticket to the soft life. The gold digger is the tradwife as seen through a funhouse mirror: a woman living off her ability to attract a man, only here done crassly.Meanwhile, some of President Donald Trump’s most vocal supporters are arguing that his tariffs will force women out of the workforce and make them once again financially dependent on men, either through marriage or through sex work, life paths these men treat as equivalent. Trump’s appeal to the dream of a lost American manufacturing economy is a nostalgic one. It’s an appealing fantasy to some of his more incel-adjacent fans: that under this economy, the sexes will revert to an older, allegedly more natural economic relationship, one in which women trade their sexuality and childrearing capabilities to men in exchange for financial security. The gold digger is the tradwife as seen through a funhouse mirror: a woman living off her ability to attract a man, only here done crassly, without the show of love to soften the crude edges of the transaction. The gold digger is simply a figure we can blame for how uncomfortable this dynamic makes us feel, without having to think through just what is so uncomfortable about it. So if we’re angry at Jordon Hudson, it’s worth asking the question: Are we angry with her, or with the fact that powerful people want to make gold digging one of a woman’s most viable career paths again?See More:

What just happened? TP-Link, the most popular router brand in the US, could be banned in the country. The ongoing saga over the firm's alleged links to China and anti-competitive behavior has led Republican lawmakers to urge the Commerce Department to ban sales of the company's products. The seventeen senators and representatives wrote a letter to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick this week to support the ongoing investigations into TP-Link. The company is being investigated by the Commerce, Defense, and Justice Departments over whether its China ties pose a security threat and whether the firm engaged in predatory pricing to undercut competitors and dominate the US market. The group essentially claims that TP-Link's cheap prices have helped it become the number one router brand in the US, thereby allowing the Chinese government to launch cyberattacks and surveillance programs against the United States using the devices. The letter also urges Lutnick to prohibit further sales of TP-Link networking products in the United States. The group goes on to accuse TP-Link of having a close association with the Chinese Communist Party, using predatory pricing to eliminate "trusted" US alternatives, and embedding foreign surveillance and destructive capabilities into US networks, all of which make it a "clear and present danger." The letter states that Chinese state actors have exploited TP-Link small and home office (SOHO) networking devices to wage cyberwarfare against the United States. It's also claimed that TP-Link is the only router company that refuses to engage in industry efforts to remediate Chinese state-sponsored bots. // Related Stories "Each day we fail to act, the CCP wins while American competitors suffer, and American security remains at risk," wrote the lawmakers. In a statement responding to the letter, TP-Link told PCMag, "The allegations are categorically false, and we look forward to setting the record straight about our company." "To be clear, TP-Link is not a state-sponsored company, has no 'deep ties' to, and is completely independent from, the Chinese Communist Party." Nine of sixteen best-selling routers on Amazon are TP-Link brands, including the top three models. It's estimated that 60-65% of homes and small businesses in the US use the routers, whose cheap prices help make them so popular. In October 2024, Microsoft exposed "CovertNetwork-1658," a Chinese-run botnet siphoning credentials from Azure since August 2023 via password-spray attacks. The network marshalled 16,000 hijacked SOHO routers, cameras and other IoT nodes – chiefly TP-Link models. The company's routers have a history of vulnerabilities: a CVSS-10 flaw hit the Archer C5400X in May 2024, and 2023 reports tied Chinese state actors to custom malware installed on TP-Link routers. The latter incident arrived soon after the US government said Mirai Botnet operators were using TP-Link routers for DDoS attacks. TP-Link, founded in 1996 by brothers Zhao Jianjun and Zhao Jiaxing, established its US arm in 2008 to handle marketing and support in North America, though ownership and operations remained tied to its Shenzhen-based parent. In 2024, TP-Link USA merged with the company's non-Chinese operations to form TP-Link Systems Inc., headquartered in Irvine, California – a move intended to create an "organizational separation," with distinct ownership, governance, R&D, and supply chains on each side.

At the AJ100 Club lunch last week, Wright, chief architect at the DfE, and his colleague Jennifer Singer underlined the size of their team and spoke of his hopes of quadrupling the delivery of school buildings and transforming pupils’ access to nature. Together with his colleague and fellow architect, head of technical assurance Singer, the duo gave an insight into the important work of the 30-architect team, which is responsible for the design and construction standards for all state schools in England, including developing net zero carbon standards for new school buildings, as well as retrofit strategies for the school estate. According to Wright, there is more public sector architecture than people realise, pointing out that the DfE spends nearly £2 billion annually on schools and builds approximately 50 new schools a year.Advertisement ‘That’s a lot of architects’ fees and a lot of architects working in the public sector, as well as our team itself,’ he said. The talk was an opportunity to celebrate the team’s recent 75-year anniversary, with the desire to create good schools for all borne out of what Wright described as the post-war ‘nexus’ of the welfare state and international modernism. Wright took over the DfE design team in 2017, the year of the Grenfell Tower fire. Another key event, he said, was the Government’s commitment in 2019 to reach net zero emissions by 2050. Keen to bring the work of the team ‘out of the doldrums’, he talked about the importance of studying ‘the whole school ecology’ of what schools are, before considering individual school buildings. He also put in place clear structures and missions for standards and delivery, setting up one of the largest POE programmes in in the UK, which has so far visited over 200 completed schools. Learnings from this evidence feed back into the development cycle to deliver, he said, better standards for new school buildings. Source:Theo WoodThe Department for Education's Jennifer Singer Singer talked about the challenges of creating a more sustainable school estate that can support future generations of children up to and beyond 2050. As well as adapting to climate change, mitigating flood risk and meeting net zero, this also means accommodating potential changes in the curriculum and digitalisation in schools. ‘We want to make sure we’re providing an education estate that is inclusive, is equitable and is sustainable in all ways,’ she said.Advertisement Singer drew attention to the department’s ‘important’ range of technical standards and guidance that inform how public funding is invested in schools, covering standards for space, acoustics, ventilation, thermal comfort, fire safety and much more. These include the Building Bulletins, which date back to 1949 and have now reached number 104, covering everything from door handles to daylight, and from specialist facilities to different stages of education. Along the way, they tell the story of the post-war school estate as it dealt with the baby boom, the raising of the school leaving age, the growth of system buildings, the energy crisis, estate rationalisation, Building Schools for the Future under New Labour, and more. Singer also celebrated the contribution of key figures in the design team’s history, including architects David and Mary Medd, and more recently Beech Williamson (reference to obit here). Another important figure was Stiratt Johnson-Marshall, who led the way for standardisation and system building in schools as chief architect at the Ministry of Education from 1948-1956 before co-founding RMJM. This neatly led back to the current work and future aspirations of the team. These were set out by Wright, who identified build and construction quality as a problem. ‘We’re determined to get better-quality buildings. The first step in that is standardisation,’ he said, adding that the benefits of this are ‘pretty clear’. ‘We’re not thinking standardisation means everything’s exactly the same. We’re really concerned with creating really good quality, beautiful spaces for people to learn in. But that doesn't mean you have to redesign every individual element of the building every time we get a new project,’ he said. The team is developing an education-based grid which can deliver all flexible types of spaces in a school building, and is also looking at what clusters of spaces work well together, and at block replacement. The hope is to be able to deliver not 50 schools a year as it currently does, but 200. ‘It’s not about reducing things down to the common denominator. It’s about trying to improve things and get better outcomes, and get better buildings from a large-scale approach to school design,’ he said. Asked later about how standardisation could inform retrofit, Wright talked about this in terms of standardising the approach of what needed to be done to post-war buildings and the techniques, rather than standardisation of space. ‘Refurbishment is a whole new world that’s complicated,’ he said. In response to the net-zero emissions by 2050 target, the DfE design team obtained funding from government innovation agency Innovate UK to develop the GenZero ultra-low carbon concept as part of a new platform for school construction. This led to a prototype timber-framed classroom exhibited at COP 26. This initiative has been developed further, with projects including a UK-timber classroom and sports block by Waugh Thistleton. In Derby, St Mary’s Catholic Voluntary Academy was the first school built to GenZero net zero carbon specification. This pilot biophilia project also aimed to set new standards for connecting to the natural environment.  Wright said that the primacy of nature would come through in all of its infrastructure standards in future, including the importance of biodiversity and green infrastructure in helping to cool buildings, improve air quality and also foster wellbeing. With all these initiatives, the design team was, he said, ‘an exciting place to work with government’ with lots of exciting projects and lots more to come. The lunch, held at The Lighterman in London’s King’s Cross, was supported by sponsors MSA Safety and Ceramica Sant-Agostino and hosted by the AJ’s Will Hurst. Source:Theo Wood

On may 10th, a semitrailer delivered NASA's Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe or IMAP to the Astrotech space operations facility all the way from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. The IMAP mission is a modern-day celestial cartographer that will map the solar system by studying the heliosphere, a giant bubble created by the Sun's solar wind that surrounds our solar system and protects it from harmful interstellar radiation. Tentatively scheduled for launch no earlier than fall 2025 on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA Kennedy, IMAP will be processed fuelled and encapsulated by the technicians in Astrotech facility.About the missionAccording to reported  NASA's blog, The IMAP mission will orbit the Sun at a location called Lagrange Point 1 (L1), which is about one million miles from Earth towards the Sun. From this location, IMAP can measure the local solar wind and scan the distant heliosphere without background from planets and their magnetic fields. The spacecraft will use 10 scientific instruments to study and map the heliosphere, a vast magnetic bubble surrounding the Sun protecting our solar system.At NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, IMAP went through thermal vacuum testing at the X-ray and Cryogenic facility that simulates harsh conditions and dramatic temperature changes to simulate the environment during launch, on the journey toward the Sun.Mission ManagementIMAP is the fifth mission in NASA's Solar Terrestrial Probes program portfolio. It is lead by Princeton University professor David J. McComas with an international team of 25 partner institutions. The spacecraft was built and operated from The Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory.Information from this mission are expected to provide early warnings about space weather, which can affect human space explorers and technological systems like satellites and power grids that can affect life on Earth.
