Gadgets: Biopen


Have you ever broken a bone? If you have, I think we can agree that being stuck in a cast for six weeks is terrible, but what if there was a way out of that healing process? Modern technology is advancing so incredibly fast, it honestly renders me speechless. Researchers at the University of Wollongong, Australia, have created a pen that can heal broken bones much, much faster. All they do is apply the two separate kinds of "ink"that the pen contains. One cartridge of stem cells, and the other of a biodegradable UV-reactant protective gel that, when applied, hardens around the stem cells to allow it to heal undisturbed. This most likely means they'll have to cut you open, but no big deal! Because this stuff works on flesh too. Want more? Click here
