Inspired by the electric eel, researchers from the University of Fribourg in Switzerland have developed 3D-printed hydrogels that could generate up to 110 volts of electricity in an instant. The rows of gels contain positively and negatively charged ions that combine together to mimic the eel”s cellular structure. Unlike typical batteries, these systems are soft,
Five Veterans Affairs hospitals have been given 3D desktop printers, materials and training by Stratasys to enable the development of custom orthotics, prostheses and anatomical models. The five “core” hospitals received the Stratasys Mojo 3D printers, which were then integrated into a collaborative network that allows doctors and researchers to leverage 3D prints for medical
An international team of researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, University of Akron, French National Center for Scientific Research (Centre national de la recherche scientifique), French University of Upper Alsace (Université de Haute-Alsace), and the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) have produced a biocompatible synthetic material that replicates tissue mechanics and
