Water Droplets That Mimic Human Tissue | Austin News
Scientists at UT Austin have invented a revolutionary 3D-printable material made from billions of tiny water droplets, each wrapped in a selective membrane that mimics human tissue. This breakthrough, published in Nature Materials, could transform medicine by enabling organ growth scaffolds, brain-inspired computing, and soft robotics — while also helping extract lithium from wastewater. Developed over a decade with key insights from student Aida Fica, the material is already patented and poised to reshape multiple industries. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow…
