- Attachment: The Osteoblast
- This is a hope for bone repair procedure in the future of medicine. The synthetic scaffold is made of calcium oxide, silicon dioxide, strontium and zinc. The broken bone is wrapped with this scaffold and the body sends in the osteopath cells to fill in the scaffold. The bone repair is speeded up by several weeks.
- This procedure is working in rats. Soon it will be used on humans.
- This picture is 23,000 nanometers wide. Using a Scanning Tunnel Microscope the image could be zoomed down to 100 nanometers wide. Technology can even go tinier. A 3D image using an APT Microscope can record layers that are only 0.2 nanometers thick.
- The APT Microscope uses a powerful electric field to pull off a layer of atoms. Detectors around the target record the location and arrival time of these atoms. A computer program is used to determine each atom’s element and its original location on the target. This is done layer - by - layer to build up a 3D image 0.2 nanometers at a time.
- These new technologies are helping science understand this tiny world with a whole set of insights. Expect many new discoveries to emerge from the nano-world. An announcement will be made shortly, stay tuned.
