A new 3D-printing process has allowed researchers to tailor-make artificial body parts and other medical devices with built-in functionality.

New 3D Printing Process Helps Create Customized Medical Devices Written by AZoMJun 11 2021 Researchers from the University of Nottingham have used a new 3D printing process to customize artificial body parts and other medical instruments with integrated functions. These functions provide better shape and durability, and at the same time, reduce the risk of bacterial infection.

Discovery of elemental metals in brain raises hope for Alzheimer’s treatments 09/06/2021, 7:02 pm Scientists using intense X-ray beams at the Diamond Light Source synchrotron facility in Harwell, Oxfordshire, to examine amyloid plaques in brain tissue (Neil Telling/James Everett/Keele University) An “unexpected” discovery of tiny metal deposits in their native form in the human brain has raised hopes of potential new therapies for Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. An international team of researchers, led by experts at Keele University, have found nanoparticles – ar...

A University of Florida distinguished professor has been named co-chair of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine's 2023-32 Decadal Survey on Biological and Physical Sciences Research in Space, a NASA-sponsored guide for the next 10 years' worth of scientific study priorities. Rob Ferl, a professor of horticultural sciences with UF's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences and principal investigator with the UF Space Plants Lab, will co-chair the committee tasked to create the guide with Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Krystyn J. Van Vliet. Togeth...
