The article "Miniature Human Heart 3D Printed Using Stem Cells" from BBC's Science Focus covers researchers at the University of Minnesota who successfully 3D printed a functioning human heart pump using stem cells, which could have significant implications for heart disease research and treatment.
The article "3D printing recreates a 3,000-year-old Egyptian mummy's voice!" from BBC 's Science Focus explains how researchers used 3D printing to recreate the voice of Nesyamun, an Egyptian priest who died 3,000 years ago.
The article "3D-Printed Terracotta Reefs Offer New Hope for Saving Coral Ecosystems" from BBC's Science Focus reveals that Israeli researchers are creating detailed artificial coral reefs using 3D printing. These terracotta reefs mimic real coral shapes and offer homes for marine organisms, helping coral reefs recover. The goal is to use this technology in oceans around the world to support marine biodiversity.
The article "3D-Printed Liver Models Help Surgeons "Rehearse" Cancer Surgeries" from BBC's Science Focus explains how scientists have developed a method to 3D print realistic models of cancer patients' organs. These models include imitation tumors and blood, allowing surgeons to practice procedures before performing them on real patients.
Snip and stick to create some cool bits to put around the classroom or house:
- Make a 3D pumpkin: Cut out the long orange stripes. Stick two together four times to make long stripes. Fold and tape to make four hoops. Tape the hoops together to make a pumpkin shape. Use the smaller strip to make a handle, then stick on the eyes and mouth. Boo-tiful!
- Create a bouncing Bing-ghost: cut along the dashed lines and hang up your ghost with string. BOO!
