Revolutionary 3D Printer Uses Sound Waves to Repair Organs
Scientists have developed a new 3D printing technique called Deep-Penetrating Acoustic Volumetric Printing (DAVP) that uses ultrasonic waves and a specially designed substance called "sono-ink" to create structures within the human body. The technique has shown promise in printing complex shapes through layers of biomaterials like skin, muscle, and bone, and has the potential to repair broken bones, patch up torn tissue, and deliver medicine. While more research is needed before human trials can begin, the team behind DAVP is optimistic about its future applications in medical settings.
