Advanced Development of Additive Manufacturing (A.D.A.M.) is on the cusp of releasing 3D printed bioresorbable bone implants. The implants would, if successful, be completely absorbed by the body. Recovery times would improve; patients would undergo fewer surgeries; the implant is personalized to each patient. The application for this technology needs…

Given plans to revisit the lunar surface by the late 2020s and to take a crewed mission to Mars by the late 2030s, critical technologies must mature. In missions of extended duration, in situ resource utilization is necessary to both maximize scientific returns and minimize costs. While this presents a…

A crucial element to keeping tissues and organs healthy is oxygen, whether they’re in the body or bioprinted in a lab. Typically, the oxygen is delivered to tissues via blood, which is carried in vessels, delivering the vital element and nutrients. In the case of bioprinting, however, vasculature inside a…

In nature, biological materials and organisms are part of a circular process of production and degradation. This process sustains the Earth and living things on it. Humans, however, have introduced new materials and products which do not fit into the circular economy, resulting in waste, which—as we all know—is detrimental…
