#3d printing may finally give artificial organs a blood supply Vascularized tissue constructed by printing cell-laden inks in a layered zigzag pattern.

Using a custom-built four-head 3-D printer and a isappearingink, materials scientist Jennifer Lewisand her team created a patch of tissue containing skin cells and biological structural material interwoven with blood-vessel-like structures.

The tissue is built by the 3-D printer in layers. A gelatin-based ink acts as extracellular matrixhe structural mix of proteins and other biological molecules that surrounds cells in the body.

Two other inks contained the gelatin material and either mouse or human skin cells. All these inks are viscous enough to maintain their structure after being laid down by the printer.

A third ink with counterintuitive behavior helped the team create the hollow tubes. This ink has a Jell-o-like consistency at room temperature

and we think it going to be essential toward organ printing or regeneration, says Lewis, who is member of the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard university.

The hope is that the 3-D printing method will set the overall architecture of blood vessels within artificial tissue

Just hit'print'From working guns to bionic ears 3-D printers are creating a variety of objects

But 3-D printers aren't just laying down plastics resins and nanoparticles they're also printing with dough vegetables and even meats.

Both engineers and gourmet chefs are experimenting with creating foods from 3-D printing. The technique allows them to produce foods in unique shapes

and textures and to streamline repetitive tasks like filling ravioli. 3-D food printers don't look like traditional printers.

Just like a regular printer the machine takes its instructions from a computer. Using software a 3-D representation of the food is created

Designers of commercial 3-D printers believe that in the near future we'll be able to download such recipes and print them in our home kitchens.

Take a look at the variety of food that can be made with 3-D printers. The Foodini made these chickpea nuggets as a healthier alternative to meat options.

#'Hologram-lite'idea for 3d phone displays Now physicist David Fattal and his colleagues at Hewlett-packard Laboratories in Palo alto have developed a sort of'hologram-lite'approach.

the display beams different images in different directions, so that a person's left and right eyes see slightly different images#a requirement for the brain to process an image as 3d.

Moving the display screen around also produces different images, so that it appears as if the object were being viewed from up to 64 different vantage points over a field of view spanning 90 degrees.

as in an ordinary LCD screen#the display can also produce moving images. Figuring out how to modulate the LCD screen to produce the views is orders of magnitude easier than working out the complicated interference patterns needed to make a moving hologram visible from any direction,

says Fattal. And because each circular diffraction grating is just 12 micrometres across, the system is suited ideally to mobile technologies,
