Inks for 3D-printable wearable bioelectronics designed

Control Engineering

Texas A&M University has developed a new class of biomaterial inks that mimic native characteristics of highly conductive human tissue, which is needed for the ink used in 3D printing, or additive manufacturing. This also allows any researcher to build 3D bioprinters tailored to fit their own research needs.
