⚠️ Chinese researchers have invented bone glue that mimics how oysters stick to surfaces underwater.

The adhesive can reportedly repair orthopedic fractures in 2-3 minutes, even in blood-rich environments, and is bioabsorbable.

A young man sits indoors vaping with smoke around him. White bold text reads: “Substance Use Increasing Across U.S. Adults.” Yellow italic text below asks, “What does the latest data reveal about adult substance use today?” At the bottom, three white icons represent a vape pen, cannabis leaf, and mushroom. A yellow arrow points right with white text below it reading, “See the data highlights.” The ISR logo appears in the top left. A person rolls a cannabis joint with visible buds and tools in the background. A bar chart displays cannabis use rates among ages 19–30: ~42% past year (navy), ~29% past month (teal), and ~10% daily (brown). Text at the top reads: “Cannabis use (ages 19–30) reported: At the bottom, yellow bold text reads: “Historic Highs.” Bottom right says “See more” next to a yellow arrow.

Ann Arbor, MI: Institute for Social Research, University of Michigan. The ISR logo appears in the bottom left corner. A person is seen vaping with a group blurred in the background. A small image shows several metal vaping devices. A bar graph shows nicotine vaping among ages 19–30: 25% past year (navy bar) and 19% past month (teal bar). Header text reads: “Nicotine vaping (ages 19–30) reported:” Yellow bold text below reads: “Record Highs.” The bottom includes the ISR logo in the bottom left and “See more” next to a yellow arrow on the right.
