3D bioprinting organs could save lives

In the past decade, engineers at the University of California San Diego have 3D printed a variety of devices ranging from rocket engines, to robots, to structures inspired by the seahorse’s tail. Now, nanoengineers have added a new item to that list: a 3D printed biomimetic blood vessel network. The new research, led by nanoengineering Read more about 3D bioprinting organs could save lives[…]

Nanoengineers printed a self-healing circuit

A team of engineers at the University of California San Diego has developed a magnetic ink that can be used to make self-healing batteries, electrochemical sensors and wearable, textile-based electrical circuits. The key ingredient for the ink is microparticles oriented in a certain configuration by a magnetic field. Because of the way they’re oriented, particles Read more about Nanoengineers printed a self-healing circuit[…]
