A new step forward for nanoscale 3D printing

With the infinitely small approaches, 3D printing has to choose between speed and resolution, which makes its industrial applications difficult. . Researchers at the LCH and the Osaka Nanomaterials Research Institute have therefore developed a system based on a...

3D Printing Technique Differentiates Stem Cells Into Heart Cells

TAMPINES, Singapore—Scientists at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) report that they have 3D printed heart cells to control stem cell differentiation in embryoid bodies, which are stem cells packed into small cellular aggregates or spheres. ....

New 3D Printing Method for Multicolor Microstructures

By adjusting the number of layers of multicolor resins, the researchers could adjust the light absorbance for each part of a structure. This allowed them to create black in microstructures such as this cross shape by combining layers of red, blue, green, and yellow....

New Electronic Fiber Sensors Said to “Smell” and “Hear”

The "invisible" 3D printed fiber sensors could be used to power electronic devices and sensors that are capable of sensing breath and sound. A device that's able to sense smells, sound, and touch in the way humans do may be one step closer to becoming a reality thanks...
