Researchers at McGill University used a mosquito proboscis as a biodegradable micro nozzle for high resolution 3D printing.

In a perfect world, people would have easy access to fresh fruits and vegetables at affordable prices. They would not live in food deserts and 30% to 40% of food produced in the U.S. would not be lost ...

When it comes to innovation, engineers have long proved to be brilliant copycats, drawing inspiration directly from nature.

Researchers have been trying to find new ways to produce and replicate the various useful features observed in nature. Fine hairs and fibers, which are ubiquitous in nature, are useful for various ...

The 3D-printed fibers are just 1.5 microns thick, which is up to 100 times thinner than paper. Reading time: Reading time 2 minutes Professionals of all kinds—from artists to architects to ...

Charging forward at top speed, a garden snail slimes up 1 millimeter of pavement per second. By this logic, Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology researchers’ new 3D printing process ...

Researchers at Oregon State University have developed a quick-setting, environmentally friendly alternative to concrete they ...

The team developed a custom 3D printer, dubbed the “3D necroprinter,” which mounted the mosquito proboscis on a standard dispensing tip. The main challenge was the proboscis’s limited mechanical ...

Color 3D printing has emerged as a transformative technology that merges advanced material science with digital fabrication to produce objects with vivid, controllable colour properties. Recent ...
