Regeneration is just not for frogs anymore!
Developed by researches from University of Twente, this is a first for stereolithography. Biodegradable and resorbable polylactic acid (PLA) can now be used to create three-dimensional scaffolding for new organs. Organ cells grow around and throughout the PLA structure. As the PLA resin simultaneously breaks down and absorbs, no foreign resin material is left behind leaving a perfectly-formed new organ in its place. A very unique and weird development.

Did anyone ever accuse you of being wired strangely…well soon they could be right.
With promise for both military application and future consumer devices, Georgia Institute of Technology scientists have discovered a way to use heart beats, body movements and wind resistance to produce electricity. The key is in the movement of nano zinc oxide wires. When stretched and released these wires produce electicity, enough to power radios, night vision goggles, cell phones and other personal devices.
