Although there are now a number of systems that capture carbon emissions from smokestacks, many people may still wonder – what is that captured carbon used for? Well, Swiss company On is making shoes out of the stuff.Continue ReadingCategory: Environme… Continue reading Cloudprime running shoes will incorporate captured-carbon-based foam
Treatments for osteoarthritis-related knee pain range from store-bought medication all the way up to total knee joint replacement. The recently trialled Misha Knee System is intended to help fill the gap between those extremes, by acting as an implante… Continue reading “Shock absorber for the knee” implant shows promise in clinical trial
