3D printing and microrobots making progress on building tissue with blood vessels which will enable large printed organs

Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) has made headway in fabricating blood vessels using a three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting technique. They have a unique strategy for vascularization of hydrogel constructs that combine advances in 3D bioprinting technology and biomaterials. The researchers first used a 3D bioprinter to make an agarose (naturally derived sugar-based molecule) fiber template to …

Focus Fusion uses the natural instabilities of plasma instead of fighting them like the gigantic tokomaks for a smaller and vastly cheaper solution to nuclear fusion

LPP Fusion reported that they have their tungsten anode and will get their cathode by late June. Crowdfunding is at 41% of the $200K goal. If you donate or have already donated then remember to comment at indiegogo at the focus fusion project to get them to the front page of indiegogo. The first of …
