A first-of-its-kind adaptive 3D printing system developed by University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers can identify the positions of randomly distributed organisms and safely move them to specific locations for assembly. This autonomous technology will save researchers time and money in bioimaging, cybernetics, cryopreservation, and devices that integrate living organisms. The research is published in Advanced Science, a peer-reviewed scientific journal. The researchers have a patent pending on the technology. The system can track, collect, and accurately position bugs and other organisms, whether they are stationary, in droplets, or in motion. The pick-and-place method guided by real-time visual and spatial data…

The “Delphix 2024 State of Data Compliance and Security Report” found that 74% of organisations that handle sensitive data increased the volume kept in non-production, also known as lower, environments in the last year. What’s more, 91% are worried about their expanded exposure footprint as a result, putting them at risk of breaches and non-compliance…
