Scientists in Germany have successfully 3D-printed transparent glass. Dr Bastian Rapp and his team from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology spent two and half years developing the method. They hope to print anything from photographic lenses and fibre optics to glass structures for buildings and rooftops for cars.

A surgical team at Swansea's Morriston Hospital has created a technique to reconstruct jaws affected by cancer using 3D printing, said to be one of the first of its kind in the world. The method uses 3D printed titanium implants that are anatomically specific to the patient. Store worker Debbie Hawkins from Swansea was the first patient to have the "amazing" procedure. Surgeons rebuilt a section of her jawbone after she developed a tumour. The technique combines traditional bone grafts with 3D printed titanium implants that can be created to fit an individual patient's anatomy. Ms Hawkins said: "When they told me what the procedure involved I was scared at first. I really didn't know what to expect. But what they have done, and the aftercare I have received, has been absolutely amazing". She was in hospital for just two weeks after her operation in August last year, which also used 3D technology to plan the operation in advance. She was able to...

A German magazine has made international headlines by saying it printed an issue with the blood of HIV-positive people. The lifestyle German magazine Vangardist printed the issue to coincide with the famous Life Ball in Vienna that raises money for HIV/AIDS issues, according to Jason Romeyko, creative director of Saatchi and Saatchi, who worked with the team at Vangardist to develop the idea. Romeyko said the goal was to confront the readers' stigma about the disease and to get people to talk about it again, adding that people rarely seem to talk about it anymore -- except perhaps on World AIDS Day. "People feel that the problem is solved and feel nothing is happening," Romeyko told ABC News. To create the "HIV+" issue, the editorial team used the blood of three HIV-positive volunteers, Romeyko said, adding that the goal was to find people who represented a range of HIV-positive people. The donors included a single mother who contracted the disease f...

Earlier this year, 18-year-old Makalaya Zanders said someone she knew commented that an African print dress, "wasn't really something you wear to prom." Afterwards, Zanders became determined to disprove the idea and show off her style. The Ohio teen went to her high school's prom on May 13 in a royal blue, fishtail gown made from Ankara fabric featuring colorful African tribal patterns. "My dress was to make a point," Zanders wrote on Instagram. "That African style is beautiful. That I am comfortable with my Melanin and roots. And finally, that there's nothing like Black girl Magic." Photos of the dress posted to Zanders' Instagram have since gone viral on social media, garnering thousands of likes, shares and positive comments.

A Florida woman who purchased a $43.50 lithograph print of a dog at a Goodwill store is now auctioning off the painting for charity after learning it could be worth thousands of dollars. Maureen Flaherty, of Summerfield, Florida, was paying for items she purchased at the grand opening of a local Goodwill store on March 19 when a lithograph print of a dog caught her eye. "I looked over my shoulder and saw it up on the wall and asked the cashier if I could get still get that,” Flaherty, 49, told ABC News. "She and another cashier went and got it down from the wall for me.” The artwork was priced at $43.50 and Flaherty says she rounded up the total to $44 as a donation to Goodwill. When Flaherty walked out of the store carrying the 39 1/2 by 29 1/2 inch print, she says she was stopped by a local antiques dealer who told her, “You just walked out with the most valuable thing in there." The dealer, identified by Flaherty as Jess Sturtevant of Braden River Antique...

MICHIGAN CENTER, Mich. -- A 19-year-old Michigan man who was previously in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s tallest teenager has finally found an affordable pair of shoes to fit his size-28 feet, thanks to a 3-D printer. Broc Brown, who is 7 feet 8 inches tall, has Sotos Syndrome, also known as cerebral gigantism, which affects about one in every 15,000 people, the Jackson Citizen Patriot reported. Brown’s aunt, Stacy Snyder, said that along with abnormal size, Sotos causes Brown to have chronic back and knee pain, along with other ailments. Snyder said no one is sure when he will stop growing. “I can walk in a store and walk out with five pairs of shoes if I want to,” she said. “He can’t.” California-based Feetz stepped in to help. The shoe company uses an app to convert photos of someone’s feet into a 3-D model, which can be measured to create custom-fit shoes manufactured by a 3-D printer. Feetz CEO Lucy Beard delivered a pair of black and red shoes to...
