A new manufacturing technique called "3D necroprinting" repurposes mosquito proboscises as biodegradable nozzles for 3D ...

Researchers have transformed female mosquito feeding tubes into ultra-high-resolution 3D-printing nozzles. The approach allows printers to lay down material with line widths as small as 20 microns — ...

Engineers have turned one of nature’s most reviled body parts into a precision tool, using the hollow feeding tubes of dead ...

3D print of a maple leaf made with the mosquito proboscis micronozzle at various resolutions The authors declare that they have no competing interests. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not ...

Researchers repurpose a mosquito’s proboscis for 3D necroprinting, offering a lower-cost and biodegradable alternative to ...

James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s. While his main areas of expertise are maker tools -- 3D printers, vinyl cutters, paper printers, and laser ...

Disposable cameras are a fun way to get into classical photography. However, they can also be a valuable source of interesting parts that can be put to other uses. For example, as [Billt] ...

We love 3D printing here, but we also love clean air, which produces a certain tension. There’s no way around the fact that printing produces various volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and that we don ...

Researchers in McGill's Department of Mechanical Engineering and at Drexel University have developed an innovative manufacturing technique that makes female mosquito proboscides, or feeding tubes, ...
