One day, 3D printing technology can create an alternative artificial heart that helps patients waiting for a heart transplant to relieve their pain. Obviously this is a long and challenging job, and scientists are working hard on it.
On July 14, 2017, it was reported that researchers at the Functional Materials Laboratory at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich have used 3D printing to create a silicone heart that beats almost like a real heart. This artificial heart lasted about 3,000 beats, about 30 to 45 minutes.
No one really knows when a portable 3D printed heart can become a reality, but it doesn't stop researchers from trying to use 3D printing to make an advanced copy of the heart of one of our most important organs.
ETH Zurich scientists recently used 3D printing to create a functional silicone heart that beats almost like a real heart. Exciting research projects have shown that soft artificial materials can be used to create functional artificial hearts or other cardiovascular devices.
Nicholas Cohrs, Ph.D. student of the ETH Zurich Research Group, commented: "Our goal is to develop an artificial heart of roughly the same size as the patient itself, and to mimic the human heart as much as possible in form and function."
Artificial hearts are often used as a "hemostasis" solution when patients are waiting for a heart transplant. Some 26 million people around the world suffer from heart failure, but there are not enough donors.
Rhodium powder Rh≥99.95% Properties: silver-white metal, extremely hard, wear-resistant, also has considerable ductility Application: It can be used as raw material for electrical instrumentation, chemical industry and manufacture of precision alloys. Rhodium powder is based on the widespread use of ruthenium in the industrial industry. Since rhodium is a rare metal required by the industry, the industry price is slightly higher than that of general non-ferrous metals. Rhodium, one of the rare elements, has various uses. Rhodium can be used to make hydrogenation catalysts, thermocouples, platinum-rhodium alloys, etc. It is also often plated on searchlights and reflectors, and is also used as a polishing agent for gemstones. and electrical contact parts.
