Buried in a cave for over 130,000 years, a perfectly preserved Neanderthal skull has shattered a major belief about how our ...

From interactive diagrams to A.I. assistants, virtual tools are beginning to supplant physical dissections in some classrooms ...

An analysis of Neanderthal nose bones suggests the species’ famously large noses did not evolve primarily to warm and ...

During a complicated bone surgery, every second matters. A handheld 3D bone printer, similar to a glue gun, can print living bone scaffolds directly into the patient’s body in the operating room.

During a complicated bone surgery, every second matters. The longer a wound is open, the more likely it is to become infected and injured. Now picture this: Surgeons can now print a new piece of bone ...

Affordable, versatile, incredibly strong and locally available, concrete is the world’s most used manmade material. But it also has a huge carbon footprint, accounting for around 8% of global ...

A 3D printable bio-active glass could be used to repair bone damage and help them grow back, a study suggests. The newly developed bio-glass—made with “green” and "cost-efficient" methods—was found to ...

The paper introduces a novel bioactive glass that outperformed both standard glass and a widely used commercial bone substitute in preclinical trials. Glass is generally thought of as fragile, but in ...

You might think that glass has no business acting as a replacement for bone, but it turns out the two materials have many similarities. Researchers reporting in ACS Nano developed a 3D printable ...

Researchers created a 3D-printable bioactive glass that supports bone growth in rabbits, offering a low-cost, effective substitute for bone repair. This 3D-printable bio-active glass (shown in pink) ...
