UMR graduate student Steven Jung is conducting research with Dr. Delbert Day, who is internationally known for finding new applications for glass. Among other inventions, Day developed tiny radioactive glass beads that can be injected directly into cancerous areas of the body. Jung is working with glass materials to build medical scaffolding for use in the regeneration of bone tissue. He is also interested in using glass materials as a method to help contain nuclear waste. But what we really want to tell you about is this.
