During February—the heart of Old Man Winter—things
can seem somewhat dull and dreary, especially when
ground and sky reflect each other using only a pal-
ette of grays. The holidays are long forgotten and spring
feels far away. Groundhog Day and Valentine’s Day try to
inject some levity, but they can only do so much. In times
like these, we can all use some cheerful news. Perhaps
most exciting is the birth of Matthew Kalista Lucko on Jan-
uary 4 to our very own editor, Julie Lucko. Everyone is doing well!
In other news, the scientific world is cel-
ebrating a different sort of growing family. As
you have no doubt heard by now, the period-
ic table is getting four new elements, the first
additions since 2011. And, as with any baby,
one of the joys for the “parents” is the honor
of picking out names: The research teams who
discovered the elements will have the privilege
of choosing their permanent names and sym-
bols. Elements may be named after a mytho-
logical concept, mineral, place, property, or
scientist. (See story o ) Another exciting development included in this issue
is the announcement by Puris that they have produced what they believe to be
the largest 3D-printed complex titanium part to date—a 31-lb aerospace com-
ponent made using binder jetting technology. (See story on ) As additive
manufacturing continues to make strides at a breakneck pace, it is announce-
ments like these that serve to keep the industry moving forward in a positive
and exciting way.
Another bright spot we are thrilled to share is the widespread media atten-
tion gained by one of our January feature articles, which discussesmetallic glue for
ambient environments. The article came about from working with ASM’s Emerg-
ing Technologies Awareness Committee (ETAC), specifically Dave Furrer, FASM, of
Pratt & Whitney, and Hanchen Huang of Northeastern University. Huang is one of
the article’s authors and he reports coverage of the AM&P article in numerous news
outlets, including the front page of the U.S. DOE Office of Science website, front
page of the Northeastern University website, coverage on th
website under University Research, news stories on and ,
and a video segment on Discovery Channel Canada. This type of news coverage
happens from time to time with technology advancements, and we were happy to
break this story. If any of you are working on revolutionary technologies, we hope
you will consider AM&P a useful vehicle to share your stories.
Speaking of ASM committees, it’s people like you who make them shine.
Please take a look at our annual Call for Volunteers o As the saying goes,
“Many hands make light work.” ASM is only as strong as the fabric of its individ-
ual volunteers woven together. Besides that, the committees can be a lot of fun
and you never know how the connections made might change your life or your
career path.
