  • Team to print and grow lung tissue with mucus-based bio-ink

    In a bid to better explore the production of lung tissue in the lab, the team sought to develop a suitable bio-ink as a means to 3D print structures mimicking human tissue.

  • Team turning egg whites into bio-ink for tissue engineering

    To create the bio-ink, the team used a process that involved transforming ordinary egg whites, which are made up primarily of proteins, into a material appropriate for 3D bioprinting.

  • Dolphin-skin inspired propeller promises to help oil tankers save tons of fuel annually

    The propellor was recently trialed on a 300,000 ton very large crude carrier (VLCC), which completed three oil delivery trips, with China claiming that the bionic skin on the propeller resulted in a 2% reduction in the crude carrier’s fuel consumption.

  • New cladding material steels nuclear fuel

    Silicon carbide nuclear fuel cladding tubes that can withstand extreme temperatures and transform future fuel production technologies have been advanced.

  • Handheld spectrometer rapidly detects harmful materials

    The patented hand-held smartphone-based Raman spectrometer system reportedly enables the user to non-invasively identify potentially harmful chemicals or materials in the field.

  • Harvesting water from arid air

    A device has been devised by MIT engineers to capture atmospheric water and satisfy potable water needs.

  • DUNMORE launches DUN-GUARD tamper-evident film

    The film uses proprietary coating and lamination technology for brand protection and anti-counterfeiting applications.
