NEW HAMPSHIRE: NH NSF EPSCoR skull featured in NSF Multimedia Gallery
The NSF Multimedia Gallery recently featured “Skully,” a model of a human skull created by New Hampshire NSF EPSCoR NH BioMade researchers at the University of New Hampshire. Scientists there are researching metallic biomaterials and new techniques that can be used for trauma fixation applications, such as cranial implants for automobile accident victims or soldiers.
"Skully," a model of a human skull, wears a strong, lightweight biomedical device engineered to hold bones together while they heal. The technology is part of ongoing research that uses advanced manufacturing techniques to develop new materials and products such as orthopedic bearings and tissue engineering scaffolds.
