A new development in the world of science is almost reminiscent of science fiction movies. Explaining that they produce ‘living materials’ using the ‘living inks’ they use in 3D printers, the researchers point out that this method may break new ground in the future.
Scientists continue to push the boundaries of science with the developing technology. Recently, a new material called ‘super jelly’ has been produced that will have a great impact in the biomedical field. Now, there has been a new development in this field. 3D printing in partnership with Harvard University School of Medicine and Brigham & Women’s Hospital ‘an ink that can produce living materials’ was developed.
Researchers have taken the first step towards the production of ‘living ink’ using the bacteria called ‘Eco bacillus’. Scientists using bioengineering methods for the bacteria to produce living nanofibers state that they then produce a living ink with other ingredients they add. Seeing that the concept and its methods were successful, the researchers later to other microbes by applying the same procedures vibrant inks with different properties explains what they produce.
Living materials can be used in building materials of the future:
In an ordinary 3D printer With these vibrant inks that can be used a material produced When it comes into contact with certain chemicals, it produces a secretion called ‘azurin’ that destroys cancer cells. produced with a 3D printer another living material It can destroy a toxic chemical known as ‘Bisphenol A’ and mixed with the environment on its own. In fact, scientists have been researching for a while to produce living materials. However, it was a very difficult process to produce the materials in the desired form.

Scientists who have overcome this difficulty with 3D printers also ‘self-healing materials’ It suggests that it can also be used in production. Stating that the materials produced with living ink to be used in home construction will defy time, the research team states that it can also have a great place in Mars missions.
