Scientists turned a dead mosquito into a microscopic 3D-printing nozzle

Scientists have ingeniously transformed the proboscises from dead mosquitoes into effective mini nozzles for 3D printing applications. This groundbreaking approach, termed 3D necroprinting, allows for the production of remarkably detailed printed lines. These natural tips provide precise material dispensing under pressure, facilitating the crafting of complex designs and biological scaffolds, and thus, significantly advancing the field of biohybrid microengineering and manufacturing.
