Zurich scientists use 3D printer to create lifelike silicon heart
Face Palmer Offer Upgrade User ID: 43285854 Germany 07/14/2017 02:17 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Zurich scientists use 3D printer to create lifelike silicon heart Researchers at Swiss technology institute ETH Zurich have created an artificial heart that could be a step in a new direction for transplant patients. Created from silicon using 3D printing, it looks like a real human heart and functions in a similar way, the university said in a statement. The 390 gram heart has a left and right ventricle separated by an additional chamber that is inflated and deflated with air pressure, mimicking the pump action of the human heart. It was developed by doctoral student Nicholas Cohrs as part of the Zurich Heart project, which brings together researchers from Zurich and Berlin to focus on improvements to existing blood pumps, used for patients with heart failure. About 26 million people worldwide suffer from heart failure and there is a shortage of donor hearts.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony. No genuinely attractive woman has any such desire. - H.L. Mencken, In Defense Of Women
