This 3D printed model of a protein recently solved by researchers is a visual aid for science communication and for more deeply understanding the way that the protein folds onto itself. This structure ...

Shaw’s group used biocompatible resin to 3D-print protein models 2–20 mm in diameter—about the size of a rice grain or a peanut. They also cast edible, gumdrop-like, gelatin versions.

The vast majority of photoresins for 3D printing (also referred to as additive manufacturing or AM) and related technologies are toxic, non-biodegradable, and sourced from unsustainable feedstocks ...

3-D Printed Molecule Models Solve Protein Puzzles The technology behind 3-D printers is helping scientists gain insights into some of the tiniest constituents of the universe: biological molecules.

They 3D-printed an ink made from microalgae protein and mung bean protein, and their proof-of-concept calamari rings were air-fried into a snack. Share: Facebook Twitter Pinterest LinkedIN Email ...
