This new slime bath could help scientists 3D print the medical implants of the future

A newly developed goop could be the key to 3D printing delicate objects. Scientists have discovered that suspending fragile 3D-printed structures in a Jello-like goo while the liquid ink hardens keeps them from warping or sagging. This could eventually improve the manufacturing of things like personalized medical implants - but for now, the new technique is still in its proof-of-concept stages.
