Journal ke4roh's Journal: Hip Science: Better Bone Implants
Space, medicine, and invention often cross paths. In this case, the invention
is a new artificial hip. Scientists are researching ways to manufacture
strong and porous ceramics with the benefit of microgravity - subtracting the
effects of convection and settling from their experiment. In the end, they
hope to offer a permanent artificial hip - much more user-friendly than
today's models that come unglued and require replacement after only 5-10 years
of use. It's just one more way space research helps to make life better on
Earth.
