A spill of bioactive ink made from ovarian cells led to the creation of paper made from organs and tissues, with various potential medical uses. The discovery happened, as so many discoveries do, by accident. Adam Jakus, then a postdoctoral researcher in materials science at Northwestern University, was working with the biological ?ink? his lab uses to 3D print ovaries. Standing beneath the lab?s fume hood, Jakus knocked over the container, spilling it onto the lab bench. By the time he went to clean it up, it had formed a solid sheet so strong it can be folded into origami.

If you?re a cyclist in Aarhus, Denmark, you may soon be able to pedal from home to work or school in the morning without stopping at a single red light. As part of a pilot program to encourage biking, the city has engineered a popular intersection to be responsive to cyclists. Riders will attach a tag on their wheel that triggers a sensor and turns the light green in their favour. By making the streets more bike friendly, city planners hope that they can cut car congestion and pollution.
