Background: Bone spurs are formed as a result of continued stress on a particular area of the bone. They are most commonly found in areas which sustain large pressures – hips, feet and shoulders. Although they are usually small and smooth, they can cause damage to surrounding soft tissue as well as nerves,
Electromagnetic Waves offer an infinite amount of storage space in small cavities with the help of chiral medium, mirrors and transceivers.
Visible, MW, RF wave spectrum can be utilized as storage and signal processing/computing medium.
Chiral cavity can have multi-layers, mirrors and or circular fiber.
