Researchers processed silk fibers into a versatile component of bioink for 3D cell printing technology. Printed objects retain their shape better than those produced without the silk additive, and ...

Researchers from Osaka University processed silk fibers into a versatile component of bioink for 3D cell printing technology. Printed objects retain their shape better than those produced without ...

My recent research focuses on 3D-printed silk-based materials, created using reactive inkjet printing. These materials boast a unique combination of rigidity and flexibility, a mix of mechanical ...

As useful a material as leather is, it isn’t too environmentally friendly. Now, engineers at Tufts University have created a new leather-like material out of silk, which can be 3D printed into ...

This development will help bring 3D cell printing research out of the laboratory and into real-world biomedical use. To obtain the fibers, the researchers started with virgin silk, then removed the ...

A team of researchers at ETH Zurich in Switzerland has now taken inspiration from how lightweight and tough biological materials, like spider silk, bone and wood, naturally form, to 3D print ...

We expect MIT researchers to be innovators in 3D printing. We do not necessarily expect the same of caterpillars. But this spooky pavilion at MIT’s Media Lab was a collaboration between the ...
