3D Printing Nozzle Based on Mosquito Proboscis Wins Ig Nobel Prize

"The winners of this year’s Technology Prize developed a new way to 3D print by turning mosquitoes on their heads, literally. The researchers, led by mechanical engineer Changhong Cao and bioengineer Jianyu Li at McGill University, found that they could co-opt the mosquito’s blood-sucking organ, called the proboscis, as an ultra-fine 3D printing nozzle.3 They called the new biohybrid technique 3D “necroprinting.”"
