Titanium foam builds strong metal bones like Wolverine

Of course, the clever scientists who invented this game-changing new technology probably weren’t thinking at all about creating superheroes. They want to use it to mend stronger bones if someone shatters a hip or a femur or something. How boring.

Someone just needs to invent adamantium.
