This latest study will use small RFID micro-sensors that are attached to individual bees using tweezers and super glue. Each sensor is like a license plate, containing a unique code to identify individual bees in a larger population

Despite the massive number of material options we've got with 3D printers these days, the vast majority of machines can still only print with one material at a time. MIT's MultiFab changes this, and pushes 3D printing forward by combining an affordable multi-material printing platform with a software system that's open and hackable.
