BONES GENERATE AN ELECTRIC FIELDS THT HELP REPAIRING MICROFRACTURES. 

SUMMARY: 

Our bones are constantly microfracturating, these fractures do not cause any paain because the same bone generates magnetic fields that make them heal really quickly. 

Thanks to the "Institut Català de nanociencia i nanotecnologia" this event has been discovered. That makes them open teh possibility to new protheses that fit better to the bone tissue, therefore they will be more durable. 

Scientists have found that the magnetism produced by the bones is not due to magnesium, is given by the hydroxypatite. It turns out that the magnetic fields it produces are a milion times stronger than the magnesium ones.

SCIENTIFIC FIELD: Medicine. 

GLOSSARY: 

Magnesium: Metallic element that burns with adazzling white light, used in tight, used in lightwieght alloys. 

Magnetic fields: A region of space near a magnet, electric current or moving particle in wich a magnetic force acts on any other magnet.  

Hydroxypatite: Substance found in bones. 

ANALYSIS COMMENT: 

This article explains how scientits have found that something that may look not very important relly it is. 

In the future this discobery maybe solves a lot of problems to people who needs a bone prothesis. 

I think taht at the momment this project needs more time to arribe to ha solution that we want, a prothesis that perfectly fixes with the bone. 

These magnetic fiels discovered a short time ago could be the solution to a lot of people that never puts a proyhesis because sometimes it causes a lot of problems to people. 

If everybody has microfractures almost everyday and these fields help  the repairing maybe with a big fracture this could help. 

To conclude we can say that in the future this may the the solution for a lot of things.
