Biohybrids: Pioneering sustainable chemical synthesis at the energy-environment frontier

With global energy demand climbing and climate challenges intensifying, researchers are exploring transformative new ways to make chemical manufacturing sustainable.

Biomimetics labs explore possibilities like humans becoming octopuses. This creates a striking contrast: some pursue ambitious goals, while others focus on practical supports. Yet, there's no contradiction; these approaches will eventually converge into elegant industrial design. #Biomimetics #Robotics #Innovation #IndustrialDesign #FutureTech
This practical approach addresses specific mission risks, contrasting with projects like JIZAI ARMS from biomimetics labs. See JIZAI ARMS in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywrK1yTYRIA. Here, the difference in engineering culture is evident: NASA & MIT prioritize risk minimization, valuing a reliable crutch over a beautiful manipulator tail. #EngineeringCulture #RiskMinimization #JIZAIARMS #Biomimetics #NASA #MIT

Researchers create 3D-printed living lung tissue

UBC Okanagan researchers have developed a 3D bio-printed model that closely mimics the complexity of natural lung tissue, an innovation that could transform how scientists study lung disease and develop new treatments.

Scientists 3D-print part of human femur as strong as real bone

A group of North Texas doctors and scientists printed part of a human femur—the longest and strongest bone in the body—that mimics the strength, flexibility and overall mechanics of a real femur. The findings were published in 2024 in a study in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research.
