Description

Scientists at McGill University have turned the mosquito's proboscis into a biological 3D printing nozzle capable of ultrafine resolution prints down to 18-28 micrometers. This innovative approach reduces costs dramatically, with each natural nozzle costing around $0.80 compared to $80 for conventional engineered tips.
