"Organ bioprinting is the use of 3D-printing technologies to assemble multiple cell types, growth factors, and biomaterials in a layer-by-layer fashion to produce bioartificial organs" (Rogers, 2023).

FDA advisers discuss future of 'artificial womb’ for human infants | CNNLinks to an external site. The FDA is currently discussing the possibility of creating an artificial womb to help premature babies survive without long-term health problems. An artificial womb would be used for the 1% of babies born before 28 weeks, but not to grow a baby from conception. It would allow those babies to develop further, delivering oxygen, nutrients, and hormones (Christensen, 2023). Reference Christensen, J. (2023, September 19).

A new horizon of 3D printing involves printing organs and then using stem cells to recreate a new organ that the patient's body would not reject. 7.

More than 80 people at the Rehab Neural Engineering Lab at the University of Pittsburgh are working to add a sensation of touch to current prosthetics. They would accomplish this by putting sensors in prosthetic limbs and attaching them to the person's nervous system through a device implanted in the spine (Hamilton, 2022). This would allow someone to feel like their missing limb is still there. Reference Hamilton, J. (2022, June 13). Researchers work to create a sense of touch in prosthetic limbs.

For example, clothes become tighter in colder weather, and shoes that adjust to wet climates. 9.

Euro Airship is currently working on developing a solar and hydrogen-powered airship known as the "Solar Airship One" (Boatman, 2023). Construction is set to begin in 2024, with final assembly happening in 2025, with hopes to fly in 2026. The solar film will provide the energy for the day portion of the flight, with hydrogen fuel cells providing it at night (Boatman, 2023) Reference Boatman, J. (2023). Around the world on solar lift.

The device is almost ready but won't be available until extensive tests and trials are performed to ensure it is safe, as it is a permanent implant. The device consists of 128 electrodes placed in the brain, electronics that amplify the signals collected, and a device that packages and transmits the information to a computer (Cyprus Mail, 2023).
