Dead mosquito proboscis used for high-resolution 3D printing nozzle — scientists boast of the extremely fine output from ‘necroprinting’
www.tomshardware.com

The proboscis is 100% finer than the best manmade tips, cheaper, and biodegradable.

A severed mosquito proboscis can be turned into an extremely fine nozzle for 3D printing, and this could help create replacement tissues and organs for transplants.

I’ve linked to a decent write-up on Tom’s Hardware, but New Scientist covered it last week too.

    I’d say harming mosquitoes (females only, that feed on blood) is better than vegan!

        I don’t hate them because they’re women, I hate them for what they eat! Which they do because they’re female. 🤔

          I feel the same way about women who drink prosecco. Kill them all.
