  • A 3D printer is being used to create “bone-like” material which researchers claim can be used to repair injuries.
  • The researchers say doctors should be able to use the process to custom-order replacement bone tissue in a few years time.

Photo Exposition – euREKA 48 researchers under the microscope

Research in Brussels will be present through the photo exhibition ‘Eureka, 48 researchers under the microscope’: 40 specialists who are active in all kinds of research domains, a mix of qualification degrees, from lab assistant, Egyptologist, to paediatrician and economist (no, no, research doesn’t exclusively take place in sterile laboratories!).

At last: sophisticated, pure, funny at times but ever monochrome portraits that reveal photographer Denia Zerouali’s mastery of the portrait.
