3-D Printer Builds Structures From Microscopic Water Droplets

Описание к видео 3-D Printer Builds Structures From Microscopic Water Droplets

For more information, go to http://cenm.ag/drop. 3-D printers don't build only solid objects anymore. They also build liquid objects, thanks to a research team at the University of Oxford. In this video, watch as microscopic water-filled, lipid-coated droplets pop from a printer's nozzles and stick to one another to form patterned structures. The researchers envision the clusters' use in future tissue engineering. They also demonstrate the construction of a flowerlike droplet network that curls into a sphere because of osmosis. This self-folding behavior, the research team contends, might be put to use in drug delivery systems someday.
