CT scan reveals 49 amulets worn by 2,300-year-old “golden boy” mummy
A computerized tomography (CT) scan of a 2,300-year-old mummy, dubbed the “golden boy,” revealed that he was wearing 49 amulets at the time of mummification. The CT scan was performed by a team from the Kasr Al Ainy Hospital’s department of radiology and the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities (MEA) in the Egyptian capital Cairo. Following […]

Scientists create eye tissue using stem cells and 3D printing
Scientists have found a way to produce eye tissue using stem cells and 3D printing, which could lead to breakthroughs in treating degenerative eye diseases. A group of researchers from the National Eye Institute (NEI), a branch of the National Institutes of Health, printed a combination of cells that compose the outer blood-retina barrier, the […]

3D printing manufacturing hubs could transform cities
Imagine a city that doesn’t have to rely on factories several hundreds of miles away to supply the needs of its residents. This self-sufficient city could become its own manufacturing hub. Now, researchers from Cardiff University have found a way to make that happen. In a recent study published in the journal Computers & Operations Research, researchers described how 3D […]

New device will let ISS astronauts 3D print useful objects from their own plastic waste
Astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) will soon have a way to minimize their plastic waste — by using it as raw material for tools and cutlery. This will be done with the help of a custom three-dimensional or 3D printer. Dubbed the “Recycler,” the machine is built by National Aeronautics and Space Administration […]

3D-printed generator allows you to generate electricity from snowfall
People can now tap snowfall for electricity, thanks to triboelectric nanogenerators that collect electrical energy from innocuous activities like footsteps and raindrops. The new energy harvester, developed by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), is not only inexpensive but light as well – matching the thinness and flexibility of a plastic sheet. “The device can work […]

Advancing detection and diagnosis: Scientists enable 3D printers to print glass using material called chalcogenide glass
Additive manufacturing systems have added another challenging material to the list of things they may print on the fly. Canadian researchers demonstrated the capability to print out chalcogenide glass with a modified 3D printer. Chalcogenide glass is a type of covalently bonded glass that contains certain chemicals called “chalcogens.” It sees extensive use in optical […]

New metamaterial can silence sound
A new (and quiet) era of acoustics is opening up as engineers from Boston University have created a material that can silence noise without reducing airflow. In their study, which appeared in the journal Physical Review B, researchers led by Professor Xin Zhang and doctorate student Reza Ghaffarivardavagh of Boston University’s mechanical engineering department built what they called an “acoustic metamaterial.” They […]

After “the dress,” it’s the “cup” – 3D printed goblet can change color with different lighting conditions
Dutch researchers modernized an ancient technique for making materials that altered their color according to the lighting condition. They modified the method for use in 3D printing devices and applied nanotechnology to achieve the color-changing effects. The research team infused the printing ink mixture with tiny particles of gold. Trial runs printed a plastic goblet […]

From tires to shoes, disposable rubber items may soon be able to self-repair
Rubber items may one day be able to regenerate any damage they incur from everyday wear and tear, plus the occasional accident. California-based researchers developed a self-repairing rubber material that’s compatible with 3D printing methods. Qiming Wang led the University of Southern California (USC) research team. An assistant professor at the USC’s Viterbi School of Engineering, Wang is also […]

New multimaterial 3D printing can help create better robotic systems
Chinese and Singaporean researchers have proposed a new approach to building better soft robots. Their concept combined 3D printing and several heat-activated materials to create robotic actuators that could overcome the problems of soft materials. Most robots feature rigid parts that can cause serious injuries to any nearby human who gets hit by a fast-moving mechanical […]
