image: A tube with an outer diameter of approximately 15 mm and a modular internal architecture is printed in one step, by depositing core-shell alginate microparticles onto a rotating substrate. The nozzles are just visible in the top of the image. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Jan. 31, 2018, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by C.W. Visser at University of Twente in Enschede, Netherlands, and colleagues was titled, "In-air microfluidics enables rapid fabrication of emulsions, suspensions, and 3D modular (bio)materials." view more
