QuoteConsider recent advances in inkjet printing. The same basic technology in a $100 home printer has been used by researchers at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine in North Carolina for the printing of "bio-ink" skin tissue as potential grafts for burn victims. It may also provide the basis for the printing of complete artificial organs such as kidneys and livers.
Wow, that's really awesome.

Agreed. It'll be interesting.
That's... weird. I still don't get how it works but whatever.
Sounds like the 3-D printers :X
@Warrior: stfu, don't even start.

Conductive and electricity producing polymers: essencial circuitry. What's there left to "get?" :P
I meant how does it print that stuff out.. I've never been able to print on anything except paper/cardboard/tagboard..

You MUST be stupid. :D (<3)(jk)
I'm assuming there is something new in this printer that allows it to print on that other stuff. Your printer isn't as up-to-date as this one. :)

Polymers can be applied to paper using inkjet technology...
Holy crap that's elite! The muscles and the batteries and the robotic fish zomg?
I wonder if it can create 3D images of Jordan Capri.

LOL!
Wow, that is pretty interesting.

According to this article (http://www.e4engineering.com/Articles/295021/Teaching%20robot%20dogs%20linguistic%20tricks.htm) at The Engineer Online, researchers led by the Institute of Cognitive Science and Technology in Italy are developing robots that evolve their own language, bypassing the limits of imposing human rule-based communication. The technology, dubbed Embedded and Communicating Agents, has allowed researchers at Sony's Computer Science Laboratory in France to add a new level of intelligence to the AIBO dog. The robot dog has learnt to see a ball and tell another one where the ball is, if it's moving and what colour it is, and the other is capable of recognising it.
