Lego Mindstorms Used To Make Artificial Bones

Posted by samzenpus on from the lego-leg dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Scientists at Cambridge University have used Lego Mindstorms robots to create an artificial bone-like substance. The toy robots proved to be much easier to set up and vastly more economical than more high-tech solutions. Their research is featured in a video for the 2012 Google Science Fair."

    Can't wait for them to make artificial bones out of megablocks and use it for medical applications.

    It'll cost less than half the price- but your arms will keep falling off.
