They also managed to print biological electronics on a wound of a mouse, for a<strong> quicker healing process<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Due to the researchers, this new technology could have a great potential and be possibly <strong>used by soldiers on the battlefield<\/strong> to print temporary sensors on their bodies in order to <strong>detect solar cells or chemical agents<\/strong>.\u00a0<em>\u201cWe are excited about the potential of this new 3D-printing technology using a portable, lightweight printer costing less than $400,\u201d<\/em> said Michael McAlpine, the study\u2019s lead author, in a press release.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">They even think it could be possible for a soldier to carry the small printer in their backpack and pull it out to print electronics they need directly on the skin.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another great aspect about the 3-D printing technique is, that this printer can <strong>track the contours and movements of the hand<\/strong>, so the 3-D printed electronics would keep the perfect shape. Furthermore, the ink that this 3-D printer uses is a <strong>specialised ink made of silver flakes<\/strong> that can cure and conduct at room temperature.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So, to remove the 3-D printed electronics from skin, the soldier can simply <strong>peel them off<\/strong> or <strong>wash them off with water.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This new feature, compared to other 3-D printers, also <strong>helps with skin diseases<\/strong>. Like in the test with the wounded mouse, researchers were able to show that this technique could be useful for <strong>advanced medical treatments<\/strong> for those with skin diseases.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep sep-none\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-video fusion-youtube\" style=\"max-width:1200px;max-height:600px;\"><div class=\"video-shortcode\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Cs6Bet3JOSg?wmode=transparent&autoplay=0\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":17728,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_editorskit_title_hidden":false,"_editorskit_reading_time":0,"_editorskit_is_block_options_detached":false,"_editorskit_block_options_position":"{}","myguten_meta_block_field":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[98],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17687","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17687","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17687"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17687\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17728"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17687"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17687"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17687"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
