3D bioprinter to print human meniscus on the space station
The knee is not only one of the largest and most complex joints in the body—it is also easily injured. In fact, one of the most common orthopedic injuries is the tearing of the meniscus, a half-moon-shaped piece of cartilage in the knee. Each knee.....»»
Nearby active galaxy investigated with Chandra observatory
Using NASA's Chandra X-ray observatory, astronomers have performed deep X-ray observations of a nearby active galaxy known as NGC 5728 and its active galactic nucleus (AGN). Results of the observational campaign, published March 1 on the pre-print se.....»»
Researchers print high-performance microcone-array flexible piezoelectric acoustic sensor
According to the data of the World Health Organization, about 430 million people worldwide suffer from hearing loss due to cochlear damage, and the improvement of hearing mainly depends on cochlear implants. However, traditional cochlear implants hav.....»»
