▲ 318 ▼ Dead mosquito proboscis used for high-resolution 3D printing nozzle (www.tomshardware.com) submitted 9 months ago by Deebster@infosec.pub to c/technology@lemmy.world 51 comments fedilink hide all child comments 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. I've linked to a decent write-up on Tom's Hardware, but New Scientist covered it last week too. Source paper: 3D necroprinting: Leveraging biotic material as the nozzle for 3D printing (science.org)
