I’m not a fan of most of these analyst market surveys. This metaverse news from GlobalData seems to have a bit of being out of sync. I do agree with the analyst’s views, but the market forecast does not seem to go along with the analysis. GlobalData states, “The metaverse, a virtual world where users share experiences and interact in real-time within simulated scenarios, will face an uphill path ahead as limited use cases hamper its adoption.

Extended missions in space require the on-site manufacture of crucial materials and equipment, rather than transporting those items from Earth. Students at West Virginia University have been researching how 3D printing works in a weightless environment as a way to make that happen. They looked at how a microgravity environment affects 3D printing using titania foam, a material with potential applications ranging from ultraviolet (UV) light-blocking to water purification.
