Nanotechnology Provides New Generation Of Orthopedic, Dental And Cardiovascular Prostheses, University Of Montreal Study

ScienceDaily (Jan. 28, 2009) — The futuristic technology of the Six Million Dollar Man –specifically a part metal and part flesh human being – won’t be exclusive to Hollywood anymore. While the main character in the Six Million Dollar Man was outfitted with metals to enhance his performance, a multidisciplinary team of scientists led by the Université de Montréal has discovered a process to produce new metal surfaces that promise to lead to superior medical implants that will improve healing and allow the human body to better accept metal prostheses.
