So you can actually fly something off of the production line? exactly, so that was one of the main goals going into this project, that we wanted to be able to fabricate something that required no human intervention to actually get it off the ground. that's amazing. and this is the device. it attaches to a commercial laser cutter and transforms it from a 2d machine to a 3d all—in—one assembler. the detail in a project like this is mind blowing. for example, in this toy drone, one of the sensors has become disconnected, just one, and now it doesn't work properly. itjust bumped into a wall. i...

Freshly printed by machine. laser factory works by cutting out slices of acrylic, printing circuitry with liquid silver and picking components up and sticking them down, all in the right order, at the right time and in the right place. what it essentially is is a unified design fabrication pipeline for creating functional devices and robots. so you can actually fly something off of the production line? exactly, so that was one of the main goals going into this project, that we wanted to be able to fabricate something that required no human intervention to actually get it off the ground. that's...

Own forensics team. they met up with todd filer, the detective from newport news. together, they all went to doug's apartment. >> we did not disclose to him at that time that we were from michigan. >> reporter: michigan police didn't want doug to clam up, or lawyer up. so they let filer, the local cop, do the talking. >> he didn't seem overly concerned about the disappearance. he felt like she had simply run away and this was some sort of stunt that she was pulling. >> reporter: filer said he didn't jump to any conclusions. >> i hadn't made a decision one way or the other whether she had simpl...

World supply chain. and for that, having 80% of all supply in asia simply isn't a palatable manner for the world to have its view of the most critical technology. let me just emphasise that — this is the most critical technology for the planet. every smartphone, every telemedicine, every remote worker, every remote education, every autonomous vehicle — every aspect of humanity is becoming more digital. and when it becomes digital, it runs on semiconductors. this is the heart of every aspect of human existence going forward, and the world needs a more balanced supply chain to accomplish tha...

Is really heating up. this month, aviation groups ratchet up their lobbying efforts and are now pushing the white house hard to issue federal regulations. >> bret: this is when we will follow, thank you. tonight, the country is experiencing a critical shortage of a vital part of technology, the lack of semiconductors has an impact on the global automobile industry to the tune of $60 billion. correspondent garrett tenney looks of the situation tonight from detroit. >> first, it was toilet paper, now it's cars. the pandemic has led to a global shortage of microchips, the brains of electronic dev...
