Roco Posted April 15, 2007 CID Share Posted April 15, 2007 Artificial bones created from an inkjet By ELEANOR MAYNE - Last updated at 22:27pm on 14th April 2007 Scientists are creating artificial bones using a modified version of an inkjet printer. The technology creates perfect replicas of bones that have been damaged and these can then be inserted in the body to help it to heal. The process will revolutionise bone graft surgery, which currently relies on either bits of bone taken from other parts of the body or ceramic-like substitutes. more at - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=448654&in_page_id=1770&in_a_source= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommie gorman Posted April 18, 2007 CID Share Posted April 18, 2007 Its not odd at all when you know the US government. Which application would best serve the military: the process of walking on the moon or the process of curing the common cold?
