3D–printed implants shown to help grow ‘real bone’
Chemically coated, ceramic implants successfully guided the regrowth of missing bone in lab animals while 'steadily dissolving,' researchers report.Surgeons and scientists at NYU School of Medicine and NYU College of Dentistry say their implanted scaffolds were naturally absorbed by the test animals’ bodies as new bone gradually replaced the devices. The research team describes its progress in a series of reports, the latest of which appear...

VR exhibit enables the blind to 'see' masterpieces
'Do NOT touch'. It’s the first rule that we encounter when we enter to any museum. That’s a reasonable rule, as the pieces can be studied and contemplated with just our eyes and touching them can cause damage in the long term.But not all of us can use their eyes to appreciate art, and touching is their only way to examine these pieces of art.
