MIT engineers create 3D printed hearts to improve surgery

Life imitates heart. MIT engineers are 3D printing replicas of patients’ hearts in an attempt to improve replacement valve procedures for those living with heart disease. Scientists are creating custom robotic hearts that match the original form of a patient’s organ, function and blood-pumping ability. “All hearts are different,” Luca…

Ancient crocodile-like fossil sheds light on pre-Jurassic earth

What’s up, croc? Scientists have discovered an ancient species known to be the “sister” of modern-day crocodiles, according to a new study. The pre-historic predator, Turnersuchus hingleyae, was found incredibly preserved off the Jurassic Coast of Dorset, England. The fossil is the most complete of the “marine crocodiles” to be recovered…
