- UT Austin creates brain-like material from billions of tiny water droplets
A team at UT Austin developed a 3D-printed material composed of billions of tiny water droplets that mimics human tissue behavior. The material could advance brain-inspired computing, tissue engineering, soft robotics, and critical mineral recovery.
- Spaceflight is hard on the heart, yet artificial ones grow better in space than on Earth
Mini-hearts seeded with human stem cells grow better in space than on Earth, according to a new study. The research suggests microgravity environments may enhance tissue development for regenerative medicine.
