Not  that this is a technical blog, but it is interesting to note some of the new technologies that are arising and how the media reports them.. However, like many of these stories involving high-tech new devices and surgery, there seems a tendency to present them more from the “wow look at this” angle rather than a balanced evaluation of the outcomes. Very scant details of the clinical case and results are discussed in the news item and the developers note  “there are still big biological and chemical issues to be solved.”

Interesting, yes, a good example of media science reporting, well you decide.
