3D Printing Plant Cells Shows Promise
A new study shows a reproducible way of studying cellular communication among varied types of plant cells by "bioprinting" these cells via a 3D printer. Learning more about how plant cells communicate with each other - and with their environment - is key to understanding more about plant cell functions and could ultimately lead to creating better crop varieties and optimal growing environments.

Smart Plastic Material a Step Toward Soft, Flexible Electronics
Inspired by living things from trees to shellfish, researchers set out to create a plastic much like many life forms that are hard and rigid in some places and soft and stretchy in others. Their success — a first, using only light and a catalyst to change properties such as hardness and elasticity in molecules of the same type — has brought about a new material that is 10 times as tough as natural rubber and could lead to more flexible electronics and robotics.
