Zimbabwe's central bank will issue small gold coins for affordability by ordinary Zimbabweans.
Zimbabwe will release smaller units of gold coins into the market in November this year to respond to public demand, in a move seen to tackle the country's currency crisis through exchange rate stabilization.

Star Trek-like Replicator prints 3D objects

This is a new technique to 3D print entire objects in one go, by solidifying liquid resin with projected light.
Scientists have invented a 3D printer that uses light to transform gloopy liquids into solid objects.
Nicknamed the replicator after the Star Trek machine that makes things on demand, the device can create objects that are smoother and more complex than those made with standard 3D printers.
