Novel 3D nanoprinting technique poised to revolutionize medical robotics

Written by Georgi Makin

Engineers from the University of Maryland (MD, USA) have been the first to 3D print a fluid circuit element, which is reportedly so small that 10 could rest on the width of a human hair. A team of engineers from the University of Maryland (MD, USA) have successfully 3D printed a fluid circuit element so tiny that they claim 10 could fit across the width of a human hair. Capable of ensuring fluid moves in a single direction, the diode has potential future applications in implantable, personalized drug delivery devices.   "Just as shrinking electric circuits revolutionized the field of electronics,...
