Good Idea: Nature-Inspired Bioprinting
https://techxplore.com/news/2025-11-repurpose-mosquito-proboscis-3d-nozzle.html
Researchers at McGill University have created a biodegradable, ultra-fine 3D printing nozzle by repurposing the proboscis of a female mosquito, achieving higher resolution and lower cost than traditional metal or plastic tips. This innovative "bio-nozzle" enables precise printing of bioscaffolds and microstructures, paving the way for sustainable manufacturing and biomedical applications by leveraging natural materials for advanced engineering solutions.
