'Breakthrough' penny-sized nanochip pad is able to regrow organs and heal injuries
Scientists have hailed a “breakthrough” technology capable of regrowing damaged organs and healing serious wounds with the single touch of a penny-sized pad.
The new device uses nanochips to reprogramme skin cells which then generate any type of cell necessary for medical treatment.
The non-invasive procedure takes less than a second and in laboratory trials was found to restore the function of badly damaged blood vessels within days.

We use fipronil as a spot-on flea treatment/prevention for our animals. Can we rub the eggs all over our cats and dogs?

Putney Bridge: CCTV of jogger 'pushing' woman in front of bus
A woman has escaped serious injury after appearing to be pushed by a jogger into the path of a bus.
CCTV of the incident shows a man running along Putney Bridge in west London and appearing to shove the 33-year-old into the road.
The oncoming bus is forced to swerve into the adjacent lane to avoid hitting her.
Sgt Mat Knowles said: "It was only due to the superb quick reactions of the bus driver that she was not hit by the vehicle."
