The project’s five year goal is the printing of a fully functioning human heart and implanting it into a pig. Assuming this is successful, the general procedure can then be refined to allow for ...

Researchers at Empa are developing artificial muscles that could one day move like real ones. Using advanced 3D printing, they have created soft and elastic structures that contract and relax with ...

FRJS can spin fibers in the single micron scale, which is 50-times smaller than a human hair, much quicker than 3D printing methods that perform slower as features get smaller. This is essential when ...

The line between science fiction and reality is blurring at an astonishing pace, as evidenced by groundbreaking research from ...

Is there any area of anatomy that can’t be made in this way? Printing at least parts of the human heart should be possible, Atala says. What about the brain? “Definitely not in my lifetime!” ...

Researchers at Georgia Tech and Emory University are attempting to help with that. A 3D-printed heart valve, made using a biocompatible material called polyglycerol dodecanedioate, was created at ...
