BP Share Price Hits 52-Week High as Oil Surge Lifts Profit Outlook

BP's shares in London finished Friday at 584.10 pence, a 52-week high, lifted by stronger crude prices. The stock edged up 0.17% for the session, notching a new one-year closing peak. BP heads into April as Meg O'Neill prepares to step in, with the group still sharpening its focus on higher-return oil and gas, slashing costs, and chipping away at debt. The recent refinery sale signals the restructuring push hasn’t slowed.

Nuburu (BURU) signs Maddox Defense JV for mobile 3D printing of drone parts

Nuburu, Inc. announced March 2 it’s teaming up with Maddox Defense Incorporated in a binding joint venture, targeting the development and rollout of a modular, containerized mobile 3D printing platform for drone parts and other defense applications. The additive manufacturing system, Nuburu said, links U.S. product work with European commercialization, backed by Tekne S.p.A. Alessandro Zamboni, Tekne’s chairman and co-CEO, described the move as “a deliberate expansion ... into deployable industrial capability.” Nuburu Defense CEO Dario Barisoni highlighted “disciplined development, validation, and technical certification,” while Jason Maddox, Maddox’s CEO, called out the project’s “adaptable, scalable production capabilities.” The move comes as militaries look to bulk up drone fleets and speed up repairs despite tighter shipping lines and shrinking parts inventories.

Ceramic 3D Printing Revolution: How Technical Ceramics Are Being Transformed by Additive Manufacturing

Technical ceramics – also known as advanced or high-performance ceramics – are engineered materials prized for exceptional properties that traditional ceramics and even metals or plastics cannot match ceramtec-group.com. They are defined by extreme hardness, ability to withstand very high temperatures, chemical inertness, and excellent wear resistance, among other traits ceramtec-group.com. These outstanding material properties enable applications that were once “previously unthinkable,” from medical implants to rocket engine parts ceramtec-group.com. In essence, technical ceramics excel where conventional materials fail – offering durability and stability under intense mechanical stress, heat, or corrosive environments wundermold.com. This makes them critical in industries such as electronics, aerospace, energy, and healthcare, where components must perform under extreme conditions. Despite their advantages, advanced ceramics have historically

From Sci-Fi to Factory Floor: How 3D Printing is Transforming Manufacturing (2025 Report)

Additive manufacturing – better known as 3D printing – has evolved from a sci-fi concept into a revolutionary technology reshaping how we design and produce goods. Unlike traditional methods that cut or mold materials, 3D printing builds objects layer by layer, enabling unprecedented design freedom mitsloan.mit.edu. First used for prototyping in the 1980s, it has since expanded into producing functional parts across industries mitsloan.mit.edu. Today, anyone from hobbyists to aerospace engineers can “print” complex parts on demand, and the global 3D printing market has surged past the $20 billion mark wohlersassociates.com. In this 2025 report, we’ll explore the technology’s origins, how it works, its applications in key sectors, the advantages and limitations, current market trends, the latest news, expert insights,
