3D printing: Utilizing a machine that follows instructions from a computer program to create toys, foods, and physical objects, including body parts. The program generates a three-dimensional object by directing the machine on how and where to deposit a continuous layer of material (“ink”).
acetone: Chemicals produced by the body that can be detected through human breath. For instance, it is a highly flammable liquid solvent commonly found in nail polish remover.
Biodegradable: An adjective describing a material that can be broken down into simpler substances by microorganisms. This decomposition usually occurs in the presence of water, sunlight, or other conditions that support microbial growth.
Biological medicine: The fusion of engineering and biology to promote human health. Professionals in this field work on developing artificial limbs, creating new drugs through biotechnology, and studying disease mechanisms. Individuals working in this field are referred to as Biological Medicine Engineers.
Chemicals: Substances composed of two or more atoms bonded together in a fixed configuration. For example, water is a chemical compound formed when two hydrogen atoms bond with one oxygen atom, with the chemical formula H2O. Chemicals also describe the characteristics of materials resulting from various interactions between different compounds.
Dispersion: The act of spreading widely. For instance, plants disperse to distant locations either by hitching a ride with moving animals or by adapting to survive in different environments.
Engineering: A field of study that applies mathematics and science to solve practical problems. Professionals in this field are known as Engineers.
Nut: (Under construction) A fastening device with a threaded hole, typically used in conjunction with bolts to securely join two surfaces.
Radioactivity: A term used to describe unstable elements, such as specific isotopes of uranium and plutonium. These elements are unstable and emit energy in the form of photons and/or other particles. The release of this energy is known as radioactive decay.
Silk: Fine, strong, soft fibers produced by various animals, including silkworms, certain caterpillars, weaver ants, caddisflies, and spiders.
Skyscraper: A very tall and expensive building.
Solvent: A substance used to dissolve other materials into a solution, usually in liquid form.
Syringe: A device with a plunger mechanism used for extracting blood from the body or administering liquid medication through the skin via a needle.
Toxic: Capable of causing harm, damage, or death to cells, tissues, or organisms. The degree of danger posed by such substances is referred to as their toxicity.
