Mosquito proboscis used as 3D printing nozzle in a latest McGill research

Researchers from McGill University’s Department of Mechanical Engineering and at Drexel University have developed a new method for high-resolution 3D printing using the proboscis of a female mosquito as a biological nozzle. As per the research, the study describes what the authors call “3D necroprinting,” in which proboscides taken from laboratory-reared, uninfected and deceased mosquitoes […]
