Using 3D Printing to Develop Bone-Like Structures that Contain Living Cells

AZoM speaks with Dr. Iman Roohani from UNSW. Dr. Roohani is part of a team of researchers that developed a technique referred to as Ceramic Omnidirectional Bioprinting in Cell-Suspensions (COBICS) that could allow surgeons to print structures that can be submerged in water and hardened within just minutes, resembling natural bone. Even more revolutionary, the structures contain living cells that continue to grow after they are implanted.

The Current State of the Global Semiconductor Market

The global semiconductor market has entered an exciting period. Demand for chip technology is both driving the industry as well as hindering it, with current chip shortages predicted to last for some time. Current trends will likely shape the future of the industry, which is set to continue to show

How are Graphene Batteries Made?

The primary distinction between graphene-based batteries and solid-state batteries lies in the composition of either electrode. Although the cathode is commonly changed, carbon allotropes can also be employed in fabricating anodes.

What Role Will The IoT Play In The Electric Vehicle Industry?

In recent years, the IoT is rapidly being introduced into almost all sectors, but it has particular importance in the EV industry.
