Necrobotics is a field of engineering that builds robots out of a mix of synthetic materials and animal body parts. It has produced micro-grippers with pneumatically operated legs taken from dead ...

Mosquitos are perhaps one of the most universally loathed creatures. Not only are their bites itchy and annoying, they carry diseases that kill nearly 600,000 people worldwide—making them the ...

A growing trend is to mount a borescope “inspection camera” near a 3D printer’s nozzle to provide a unique up-close view of the action. Some argue that this perspective can provide valuable insight if ...

In order to 3D-print really intricate items, you need a really fine print nozzle. Scientists have discovered that instead of ...

Researchers repurpose a mosquito’s proboscis for 3D necroprinting, offering a lower-cost and biodegradable alternative to ...

A severed mosquito proboscis can be turned into an extremely fine nozzle for 3D printing, and this could help create replacement tissues and organs for transplants. Changhong Cao at McGill University ...

Entrepreneurs in Denmark have taken another step towards improving the general usability of 3D printers with the Diamond Hotend, a single 3D extruder unit that can mix and melt three filaments ...

Imagine having the ability to digitally print the impossible with sub-micrometer precision, on any material and at scale. A spin-off out of ETH Zurich has done just that. Walter Braun, chief operating ...

The Lathon 3D printer has two print heads that operate in sync for integrated two-colour or cross-material prints. Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she hopes to get you as enthralled with ...
