Researchers are using ice as a template for the 3D printing of artificial blood vessels in engineered tissues, which could one day be utilized for artificial organ transplants and drug testing.
Researchers like Kiera Towell want to eventually use 3D-printed ice to repair roads and build igloos in cold, remote places where other construction materials, like concrete, don't work or are hard to ...
When you’re working with limited resources, sparse and extreme landscapes can present engineering challenges — a cold, hard reality for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). That’s why, in frozen ...
Complex artificial organs could be created by 3D printing a mould of veins, arteries and capillaries in ice, casting that in organic material and then allowing the ice to melt away, resulting in a ...
A team of physicists from the University of Amsterdam's Institute of Physics has 3D-printed a Christmas tree made entirely of ice. Researchers Menno Demmenie, Stefan Kooij and Daniel Bonn used no ...
Carnegie Mellon University researchers have developed numerical models that allow precise control of the 3D ice printing process in biomedical and manufacturing applications. The study has been ...
