3-D-Printing Bio-Electronic Parts

Princeton University Researchers have begun developing a 3-D printer that contains semiconducting ink. This ink enables the researchers to physically print LEDs. Eventually, they hope to print functioning electric circuits. With this new electronic discovery, researchers are expecting to be able to combine circuits with living tissue, creating new types of implants and prosthetics. Click here to see the article.
