BU MSE Materials Day Keynote speaker Jennifer Lewis
Recent protocols in developmental biology are unlocking the potential for stem cells to undergo differentiation and self-assembly to form “mini-organs”, known as organoids.
Jennifer Lewis - Printing Synthetic and Living Matter in Three Dimensions
Ideas have been communicated for millennia by printing images and words onto surfaces. Now, it is possible to transform ideas directly into three-dimensional objects using printing methods.
A Swifter Way Towards 3D-printed Organs
20 people die waiting for an organ transplant every day in the US, but lab-grown organs so far lack the cellular density and functions required to make them viable replacements.
Jennifer A. Lewis, "3D Printing: Making the Future"
3D printing enables one to rapidly design and fabricate materials in arbitrary shapes on demand.
Introducing the Octobot
Developed by Harvard researchers, the first autonomous, untethered, entirely soft robot — nicknamed the octobot — could revolutionize how humans interact with machines.
3D Printing Metal in Midair
In this video, see the laser-assisted method developed by Wyss Core Faculty member Jennifer Lewis that allows metal to be 3D printed in midair.
Printing Vascular Tissue
Printing vessel vasculature is essential for sustaining functional living tissues. Until now, bioengineers have had difficulty building thick tissues, lacking a method to embed vascular networks.
4D Printing: Shapeshifting Architectures
A team at the Wyss Institute and Harvard SEAS has developed a new microscale printing method to create transformable objects. These "4D-printed" objects go a step beyond 3D printing to incorporate a fourth dimension–time.
Printing Functional Materials
Recorded from the NEW APPROACHES TO FULL SPECTRUM SOLAR ENERGY CONVERSION Webinar, September 3, 2015 Offered by the Light-Material Interactions in Energy Conversion Energy Frontier Research Center, California Institute of Technology
Voxel8: A Harvard Startup Story
Harvard innovator Jennifer Lewis, Hansjorg Wyss Professor of Biologically Inspired Engineering, discusses how her new startup venture will help her make a bigger impact.
