Israeli scientists produce 3D printer 'ink' capable of producing wood products
Researchers at Jerusalem’s Hebrew University have unveiled a 3D printer “ink” capable of producing printed wooden materials.
The technology takes organic “wood derivatives” and develops them into a paste, which is then used as ink by a 3D printer. As the paste dries, it warps into the desired shape.
Doron Kam, a PhD student working on the project, told The Times of Israel that the technology contains two main stages.
Firstly, organic material is broken down into “wood flour” and then combined with two other organic products which act as a glue.
In the second stage, the material is placed in a 3D printer, which proceeds to print a flat, 2D object. In regular tree wood, the structure of the cells determines the shape the wood will warp into as it dries. However, with the Hebrew University’s new technology, scientists can themselves control the cell structure, and therefore control the exact shape that the product will form as it dries and warps.

“We are trying to make a material that won’t last forever, that’s what plastic is for. We are not looking for that,” Kam said.

Rather, Kam’s team envisions a material that lasts for “three or four years of use, and then you can grind it down and print it again. This is sustainability in our product, this is our principle.”
The team at Hebrew University is focusing its resources on the scientific process behind the concept, and has thus far only produced small example pieces.
The technology’s ability to produce large-scale items remains unproven. Kam insisted that it could be done, telling The Times of Israel that the printed wood product would maintain the same strength and durability as regular tree wood.
The printed wood can even maintain the aesthetic properties of its original source, allowing a user to select between different types of wood, such as oak or pine.

Kam said that even after the process of grinding and printing, the wood maintains a distinct smell based on the species of tree it was originally derived from.
Products such as his could lead to a “sustainable economy at home,” Kam said.
With the cost of living continuing to soar, Kam said consumers can expect to see reusable 3D printed wooden products “very very soon.”

In Israel, they came up with a 3D printer for vegan steaks. And in the States, 199 people voluntarily signed up for cryogenic freezing. About these and other news in the field of modern technologies, in the material of the Khabar 24 correspondent.
This is an Angus 3D printer. It was developed by an Israeli company. Innovative technology produces vegan steaks. They are already served in 1,000 restaurants in Israel, the UK, the Netherlands and Germany. A kilogram of unique meat can be bought for $40. To create a separate piece, the company's employees use layer-by-layer building. Then the plant base is saturated with fats, moisture, smell and taste are added. So the final product is as close as possible to real meat. In total, the company has eight 3D printers.
Two are in Israel. Six - in the Netherlands, where the plant will be fully operational in December. nine0005
Yaron Eshel, manager of the 3D printer manufacturer:
- This is a touch interface. With it, you can select a steak from the library. Also, the options for roasting, the amount of fat and the category of marbling are loaded into the system. Cooking time takes 15-20 minutes. The steak is built up layer by layer. Thanks to this, we can control the structure of the fibers in order to then fill with fat and moisture. This allows you to get as close as possible to the biological meat that we are used to eating. nine0050
CRYO FREEZING
And there is a so-called cryonics center in Arizona. It's hard to believe, but the bodies of 199 people who once voluntarily agreed to cryopreservation are frozen here. Their goal is to revive when the field of medicine takes a step forward. Many of the people are terminally ill with cancer and other ailments.
The bodies are stored inside tanks filled with liquid nitrogen. Meanwhile, scientists are skeptical about the activities of the cryonics center and the so-called cryofreezing. nine0005
Arthur L. Kaplan NYU professor:
- The people who sort of specialize in studying the distant future are the people who are interested in your money. I don't see people lining up to really study brain structure, physiology, or psychotherapy.
A NEW GENERATION OF EXOSKELETONS
A new generation of exoskeletons has been introduced at Stanford University. It is a device that assists people with mobility problems in walking. The so-called "robotic boot" is equipped with a special engine. It works the calf muscles and gives extra push with every step. According to the creators, their offspring differs from previous exoskeletons in lower energy consumption. They also claim that the invention helps to walk 9% faster and spend 17% less energy than conventional shoes.
Technological progress does not stand still, and the discoveries of the last few days are proof of this.

The idea of replacing meat with plant foods has penetrated deeply into modern society. People even learned how to print "steaks" on a 3D printer.
Until now, only a few restaurateurs could indulge in such exoticism. But now everything can change.

Israeli company Redefine Meat has unveiled a 3D printer that can produce "meat" from vegetable ingredients on an industrial scale, NTDTV reports. nine0005
According to the developers, it can produce several tons of products every day.
According to one of the founders of the company, Eshar Ben-Shitrit, the printed "meat" has the same characteristics as the real one.
“It feels like a good steak, a tasty piece of animal meat, but without the use of an animal,” he noted.
Remarkably, this effect is created by a combination of soy, peas, chickpeas, beets, nutritional yeast and coconut oil. From these products, the machine creates muscle, fat and blood, and then combines them to obtain "meat". By the way, the printer settings allow you to create “steaks” of different hardness.
nine0005
With the new machine, Redefine Meat hopes to compete with traditional meat producers. Currently, eight such printers have already been assembled, six of them are working in Israel, and two more have been sent to the Netherlands, where a plant for the production of meat from plant components is due to open by the end of this year.
However, time will show how successful this idea is now. Against the backdrop of inflation, Europeans are trying to save on everything, and natural meat in the store is still much cheaper than an analogue from a 3D printer. In addition, fast food chains, which use artificial meat the most, are now in crisis due to a lack of staff. nine0005
