Development of a simple, revolutionary printing technique for periodic nano/microstructures

A team of researchers from NIMS and the University of Connecticut has developed a printing technique capable of forming a periodic nano/microstructure on the surface of a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) slab and easily transferring it onto the surface of a glass substrate. This technique enables us to create materials with useful functions — including water-repellency and … Read more

Revolutionary high-speed 3D bioprinter hailed a game changer for drug discovery

Biomedical engineers from the University of Melbourne have invented a 3D printing system, or bioprinter, capable of fabricating structures that closely mimic the diverse tissues in the human body, from soft brain tissue to harder materials like cartilage and bone. This cutting-edge technology offers cancer researchers an advanced tool for replicating specific organs and tissues, … Read more
