Rapid 3D printing method moves toward 3D-printed organs
A University at Buffalo-led research team is using a 3D printing method called stereolithography and jelly-like materials known as hydrogels to speed up and improve 3D printing. The work is a step…
RIPE’s third breakthrough demonstrates photosynthetic hacks can boost yield, conserve water
Plants are factories that manufacture yield from light and carbon dioxide—but parts of this complex process, called photosynthesis, are hindered by a lack of raw materials and machinery. To optimize production, scientists…
Handheld 3D skin printer demonstrates accelerated healing of large, severe burns
A new handheld 3D printer can deposit sheets of skin to cover large burn wounds – and its “bio ink” can accelerate the healing process. The device, developed by a team of…
Researchers Create ‘Living Concrete’ From Bacteria
Researchers have developed a new approach to designing more sustainable buildings with help from Bacteria. In a study published in the journal Matter, CU Boulder researchers describe their strategy for using bacteria…
