Bioengineers and chemists design fluorescent 3D printed structures with potential medical applications

The ring-shaped “nanohoops” emit light of different colors depending on their structure. Credit: University of Oregon Researchers at the University of Oregon have mixed fluorescent ring-shaped molecules into a new 3D printing process, using the simple process of mixing eggs and flour to make pancakes. The result is complex light-emitting structures that support the development of new classes of biomedical…
