Researchers create first ever artificial HUMAN TONGUE in latest 3D printing breakthrough – RT
A multidisciplinary team has 3D-printed a replica of the human tongue, complete with synthetic soft surfaces and tongue-like textures, which may lead to a domino…
Scientists led by the University of Leeds, in collaboration with University of Edinburgh, have meticulously replicated the surface of the human tongue which plays a critical role in how we taste food, how we speak, swallow and absorb nutrients, among other functions.
The biomimetic tongue accurately mimics the topology, elasticity and “wettability” – how a liquid keeps contact and spreads across a surface – of the human tongue, the scientists claim.
