Researchers 3D printed this cheesecake

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 08:15:21 GMT

(CNN) — Researchers have been pushing the limits of 3D printing for decades, using the manufacturing technique to churn out consumer goods such as furniture and shoes, human organs and even a rocket. But can industrial technology be applied to make a fully baked dessert that can be fabricated in your home kitchen?Engineers at Columbia University set out to do just that. A team whipped up a seven-ingredient vegan cheesecake that was assembled and cooked entirely by a 3D-printing machine and — in a new innovation — laser technology, according to a study published Tuesday in the journal NPJ Science of Food.The experiment was a step toward developing practical uses for 3D printing in mechanically assembled food, the researchers said. The machines needed to create and bake a 3D-printed dessert already exist — at least in Columbia Engineering’s New York laboratory — butthere are not yet troves of cookbooks out there spelling out how the tech can be applied.“If this (tech...

It remains to be seen if he will ultimately decide to throw his hat in the ring for the 2024 presidential election.DeSantis has been a rising star in the Republican party, particularly for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in Florida.

Stroman is in line to start March 30 against the Milwaukee Brewers at Wrigley Field.Stroman said Tuesday it would be huge to receive that honor, though he told manager David Ross that if he wants someone else to get that start, he would understand because Stroman is taking a big-picture approach.“I’m not somebody who needs the opening-day start … I’m trying to make 33, 34 starts and that’s the goal,” Stroman said. “But to feel that energy at Wrigley, that’s why you work so hard for those moments and I feel like I’d be the perfect one to go out there and pitch opening day.”White Sox right-hander Lucas Giolito, meanwhile, felt he got better as his start went on against the Brewers on Tuesday in Phoenix. ...
