3D Printed Cell Technique Allows Material To Mimic Human-Like Tissue. By: Tanya Lewis, LiveScience Staff Writer Published: 04/04/2013 02:11 PM EDT on LiveScience A team of chemists has found a way to print 3D material that resembles living tissue. The scientists developed a 3D printer that squeezes out tiny water droplets into a drop of oil, creating miniature spheres with a lipid bilayer that mimics the membranes of living cells.
They deposited these droplets in layers to create a material that can bend like muscle or communicate like neurons, as reported today (April 4) in the journal Science. "We've made a new kind of material. Not just a new material, but really a whole class of materials," said study co-author Gabriel Villar, a chemist at the University of Oxford, in England. The material consists of tens of thousands of water droplets separated by a thin membrane called a lipid bilayer, the same membrane that encapsulates living cells and keeps everything from spilling out. But the scientists didn't stop there. Top 15 Most Popular News Websites.

What is mercury poisoning? Actor Jeremy Piven, best known as loudmouth talent agent Ari Gold on HBO's Entourage, has made an early exit from the Broadway play Speed the Plow, blaming a mercury-rich sushi diet and possibly use of herbal medicine. His doctor says tests revealed Piven has mercury levels five to six times higher than normal, and has ordered a fish-free diet and rest. “I talked to Jeremy on the phone, and he told me that he discovered that he had a very high level of mercury,” playwright David Mamet told Variety. “So my understanding is that he is leaving show business to pursue a career as a thermometer.” Piven's doctor, Carlon Colker, told the showbiz publication that “insensitive comments like that are not only unkind and unfair, they reflect a profound lack of understanding of a problem that can actually kill.”
“The etiology is unclear, but his level of mercury was uncharacteristically high, one of the highest we’ve seen,” Colker, an internist at Greenwich Hospital in Connecticut, told Variety.

The action on the field has a built-in sound track -- a perfect score. It works the other way too: Sports is infused in music as much as music is infused in sports.

This pocket shooter looks more like a traditional camera—its lens is centered rather than perched in the corner—and has a fast f/2 aperture on the wide end. The 12-megapixel TG-1 iHS can go down as far as 40 feet underwater, fires full-resolution images at 5 frames per second, and offers GPS functionality. Put all of these features together and you have an ideal outdoor model that ousts the Nikon Coolpix AW100 ($379.95, 4 stars) as our Editors' Choice for rugged cameras. Design and Features The TG-1 eschews the standard rugged point-and-shoot design, which places the lens in the top corner. In addition to making it look a bit more like a standard camera, the TG-1 has the unique ability in its class to accept 40.5mm filters and conversion lenses—although you will need to grab the $20 CLA-T01 adapter to support filters.
