Awesome science!

Post some examples of what you think are awesome / spectacular
breakthroughs in science nowadays.
Since I study Biology, these are some interesting things I've
heard of / encountered.

Spray on skin is a concept where skin cells are harvested and
cultivated to be multiplied to a large amount. That way, a small
2x2mm patch of skin can become as much as your forearms worth in
skin in 5 days. This way, surgeons can replace burned skin, or
missing skin in a matter of days. The skin is literally loaded
into a spraygun, and sprayed onto the parts of flesh where the
skin is missing.

The use of nanotechnology (they're still working on this)
against cancer. They litterally inject nanobots into the
bloodstream carrying specific chemicals. These nanobots are
directed to the cancerous growth through recognition parts, and
once there are activated by pointing a laser on the cancerous
growth from the outside. The laser heats the nanobots which
causes them to release the chemicals and voila, the hazardous
chemicals now used in chemo therapy are released only in the
tumor.

Though not an invention, this is a discovery that left me in
awe. The Hubble Ultra-deep-field is a region in space where
previously, astronomers didn't see any star. They decided to
point the hubble telescope to that gap and kept it there a
month. They saw a ****load of galaxies, and decided to focus on
another black patch inside of that image. They left the hubble
focused on that specific part for 13 months. They found that in
that tiny patch of blackness countless galaxies were situated.
They estimate a number around the 10.000 galaxies..
For the dummies: A galaxy is typically about 30.000 lightyears
in diameter. That is 30.000 x 365 x 300.000 KM =
3.285.000.000.000.000km.
A galaxy is typically about 2.5-3.5 million lightyears away from
the next galaxy. Meaning that if there's 10k galaxies in that
ultra deep field, the size is ridiculously immense.
What have you guys found? Or what do you think/like about this
sorta stuff / above-mentioned things?

cool stuff, i already knew about the last two images since im
some of a science freak when it comes to universe and scientific
revolution but im kinda surprised about the first image because
i didnt know about it, good shit!
