Human Skeleton and Artificial Bone Technology

The video explores the weight and structure of the human skeleton, highlighting that bones make up about 15% of body weight. It delves into the internal structure of bones, emphasizing their strength and complexity. Dr. Michelle Oya demonstrates the creation of artificial bones in a lab using a process involving protein and calcium. The video discusses potential applications of bone engineering, such as in construction, inspired by the human skeleton's structure. It concludes with the future possibilities of living in bone-based structures.
