Until now, scientists have remained in the dark about the causes of Multiple Sclerosis and other diseases. Using a technology called Synchrotron, researchers can see how specially marked pathogens interact with tissues and organs in real time. The Cone Snail is one of the most venomous creatures on the planet. But a compound from its venom has been found to be a very effective analgesic, and may be an alternative to the highly addictive morphine. The next time you break a bone, you might be able to skip the cast entirely, with the injection of Liquid Bone, which sets to the consistency of real bone with the help of your body heat. Finally, we show how cotton candy (or fairy floss) may be used in the future as a mold, to grow skin grafts for burn victims!
