The Suspended Tissue Open Microfluidic Patterning, or STOMP device, is small enough to fit on a fingertip, and is expected to advance human tissue modeling for research on a variety of complex diseases. Credit: University of Washington The device is compact enough to rest on a fingertip and is compatible with current tissue-engineering technology. A newly developed 3D-printed device offers …

Noctua’s 3D-printed mod singlehandedly makes the Framework Desktop run quieter
Despite its lack of upgradeable system memory, Framework has tried to make its Framework Desktop a welcoming platform for upgraders and modders, releasing 3D-printable versions of a few case parts and generally sticking to standard-sized parts and standard connectors. Often, it’s independent creators who are making the weirdest and most interesting mods for Framework’s devices, but PC cooling company Noctua …

Summary: Scientists have developed a 3D-printed implant that delivers targeted electrical stimulation to damaged areas of the spinal cord, promoting nerve regeneration. The implant mimics the spinal cord’s structure with a fine, electrically conductive mesh, boosting neuron and stem cell growth in lab tests. By adjusting the fibre layout, the team improved the implant’s effectiveness, opening possibilities for wider medical …
