Rutgers Engineers 3D Print Shape-Shifting Smart Gel

3D printing becomes 4D as objects morph over time and temperatures change. Rutgers engineers have invented a “4D printing” method for a smart gel that could lead to the development of “living” structures in human organs and tissues, soft robots and targeted drug delivery. The 4D printing approach involves printing a 3D object with a

Lab on a Chip Could Monitor Health, Disease and Contaminants

Rutgers researchers invent technology that could lead to wearable biosensors. The technology, which involves electronically barcoding microparticles, giving them a bar code that identifies them, could be used to test for health and disease indicators, bacteria and viruses, along with air and other contaminants. “This is really important in the context of personalized medicine or
