Metallic Gel Enables Shape-Shifting and Conductivity in 3D Prints

Researchers have developed a metallic gel that is highly electrically conductive and can be used to print three-dimensional (3D) solid objects at room temperature. Printed objects can be engineered to change shape as the gel dries; a phenomenon called ‘4D printing,’ with the fourth dimension being time. This image shows a metallic spider that was printed at room temperature using the metallic gel, and which assembled and solidified into its final 3D shape via 4D printing.

DNA ‘catch-and-release’ enables urine test for brain cancer

Researchers have developed a novel way of detecting brain cancer, using nanowires to ‘catch-and-release’ DNA in urine, enabling them to detect mutations that signify the presence of a brain tumor. Their method may one day mean that invasive tissue biopsies are no longer required.The definitive way to diagnose a brain tumor is to take a tissue biopsy, which involves surgery to remove a small amount of tumor tissue for examination under a microscope. This is obviously invasive and uncomfortable for the patient. But what if…
