SolidCraft.io is one of those rare open-source tools that actually feels like it was designed for users who got tired of wrestling with FreeCAD’s workbench chaos and Python scripting. The fact that it’s pure Rust, parametric with a clean feature timeline, runs in the browser or app and has a first-class MCP server is wild. Being able to hand an AI (Claude.ai) the same command surface the UI uses is genuinely mind-shattering. karnage (npub1r0r…q9ac)

FreeCad is the best open source 3D modeling app I've found so far, it is pure parametric design. If your AI can convert assets into parametric files, I believe that FreeCad would be a much powerful editor, with plenty tutorials online and compatible with 3D printing.

Sophia Space is developing a new class of computing infrastructure designed specifically for the space environment. The modular TILE architecture integrates high-performance computing, solar power and passive radiative thermal management into scalable systems designed for Artificial Intelligence (AI) inference, data processing and other compute-intensive workloads in orbit. By combining Sophia Space's compute architecture with Redwire's space infrastructure and engineering capabilities, the companies aim to address one of the central challenges facing the emerging orbital computing market: moving from individual technology demonstrations toward the repeatable, scalable infrastructure needed for the global build-out of orbital data centers.

NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) issued a G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm watch for October 2, 2026, following a large filament eruption and associated coronal mass ejection (CME) on September 28. SWPC expects glancing effects from the CME, while NASA models place its arrival near the start of October 2 with an uncertainty of several hours. NASA’s Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC) said a large solar filament extending approximately from S10W50 to N45W50 began lifting off at about 13:51 UTC on September 28. The associated CME was first observed west of the Sun in imagery from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory’s Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph C2 at 14:36 UTC.

Most people watch STEM, robotics, and space. Almost nobody gets to take part. Nostr can change that. Your key is your identity, so anyone can join a project without permission. Every design, test, and review is a signed event, so your work carries its own history, and it belongs to you, not to a platform. Picture a printable wrench. A technician signs the design, an AI signs its simulation, and the human signs last. Someone prints it and publishes the test results. A reviewer checks the tolerances. A QR code on the handle links the physical tool back to every signature. Zaps pay each person for exactly what they added. Later, robots join with keys of their own, verifying signed designs before they build and publishing signed proof of what they did. But there is a role for everyone: designers, testers, reviewers, writers, beginners who replicate a build and report what confused them. This is what integration looks like. Not machines absorbing the boring parts, but humans and AI's merging, both changing, both accountable, with the history kept where no one can quietly rewrite it. Pick a project. Sign your contribution. Get paid. Don't just watch the future get built. Build it.

This is awesome stuff! I use various Python, 2D, and 3D design tools, and I've been looking for an open-source tool just like this (i.e., FreeCAD lets you build highly detailed objects but not entire worlds, while SketchUp lets you build entire worlds but falls short on object detail). I'll definitely test it out in depth and give you constructive feedback. Thank you so much for sharing the GitHub link.

Researchers led by Prof. An Xu at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have found that a magnetotactic bacterium (MTB) called Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1 (AMB-1) can extend healthy lifespan in the Caenorhabditis elegans model. The team also identified the main mechanism behind the effect -- suppression of a form of cell death known as ferroptosis.

GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH (G1): Minor G1-class geomagnetic storms are possible on Sept. 23-24 when a fast-moving stream of solar wind is expected to reach Earth. This stream is coming from a canyon-shaped hole in the sun's atmosphere. The Russell-McPherron effect could turn it into a nice display of equinox auroras.

Scientists have found strong observational evidence that a key part of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation has been weakening across a wide stretch of ocean for nearly two decades. The slowdown could eventually reshape weather patterns, rainfall, storms, winters, and coastal sea levels around the Atlantic. The study, led by researchers at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric and Earth Science, provides some of the clearest direct observational evidence so far that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is losing strength.
