Science has now progressed so far that it doesn’t make people a little bit afraid of the future when they think about it. Technological developments, which seemed like a dream a few years ago, are now being applied in many fields. We even have nano-robots that fix them when our bodies have problems.

Researchers at Texas A&M University have produced a new biomaterial that can be used in the medical world. This biomaterial is actually a 3D printer ink but the scientists who studied it found they could do a lot more.

Can even be used as a tattoo

This newly produced 3D printer ink, just like our skin It can mimic human tissue. The newly produced biomaterial ink is molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂It consists of a new class of 2D nanomaterials known as . Moss₂The thin layered structure makes it chemically activating makes it perfect. So what does this mean?

Namely; A special gelatin was placed in this produced ink. This gelatin was obtained by combining electrically conductive materials. In other words, it has a structure that can mimic our skin in a way. In addition, even if it is in a solid state in a tube, it turns into a liquid when injected somewhere. Thanks to the liquefaction and portability function According to the researchers, the new ink is also very suitable for use in tattoos.

Thanks to tattoos made with this material People with diseases such as Parkinson’s It is thought to be easier to control. Akhilesh Gaharwar, one of the researchers, says: “The impact of this work could push 3D printing so far. This newly developed hydrogel ink is highly biocompatible and conducts electricity. With this hydrogellink, we can produce the next generation of wearable and implantable bioelectronics.” You can read the details of the study here.
