Dental plaque: a breeding ground for antibiotic resistance
Gene swapping is taking place on your gums as the bacteria in dental plaque trade-up on newer antibiotic resistance genes, according to research presented today (Monday 16 September) at the Society for General Microbiology autumn meeting at Loughborough University. "We have found that many antibiotic resistance genes in oral bacteria are... view more... (2002-08-28)
Problem: Implant Infection. Solution: Nanotech Surfaces
Orthopaedic implants help millions of Americans stay active. But these medical devices are prone to infection, forcing patients back to surgery for repair or replacement. Now, for the first time, a team of engineers has shown that zinc or titanium oxide nanosurfaces can reduce the presence of bacteria, a technique that can be applied to implants... view more...

Brown Team Creates Uncanny Cell Replicas for Treatment, Research
Call them genuine fakes. Brown University biomedical engineer Diane Hoffman-Kim and her research team have made plastic replicas of real cells through a novel two-part molding process. The copies looked so authentic, Hoffman-Kim couldn't tell if they were real or rubber at first. view more (2006-09-13)

Stanford's 'autonomous' helicopters teach themselves to fly
Stanford computer scientists have developed an artificial intelligence system that enables robotic helicopters to teach themselves to fly difficult stunts by watching other helicopters perform the same maneuvers. view more (2008-09-03)
Auditory neurons in humans far more sensitive to fine sound frequencies than most mammals
The human ear is exquisitely tuned to discern different sound frequencies, whether such tones are high or low, near or far. But the ability of our ears pales in comparison to the remarkable knack of single neurons in the brain to distinguish between the very subtlest of sound frequencies. view more (2008-01-11)

Electrochromic artificial nails
The researcher Carlos Gonzalez from the Department of New Materials at CIDETEC (Basque Country) has developed an element called electrochromic false nail. This cosmetic accessory item will be able to be used as an artificial nail to cover the natural one. Its novelty lies in the fact that, once the false nail is inserted into position, it can... view more... (2003-11-04)
Smithsonian scientists working to save microscopic threatened species
The Smithsonian's National Zoo recently acquired 12,000 new animals-microscopic Elkhorn coral larvae harvested by National Zoo scientists in Puerto Rico-as part of an international collaborative program to raise the threatened species. view more (2007-09-27)
ROBOT THAT LEARNS FROM ITS MISTAKES
Robots of the future which can think for themselves and behave more like humans are a step closer to becoming reality thanks to research being carried out at Staffordshire University. Alex Kleiner, a German postgraduate student studying for an MSc in Computer Science, has developed a software package that uses a system of punishments and rewards... view more... (2000-07-10)
Mayo Clinic researchers use ultrasound to describe subtle heart muscle motions
By using sound waves Mayo Clinic researchers have described subtle changes in the motion of the heart that are measurable by ultrasound and may improve understanding of heart function, and possibly be a noninvasive aid in predicting impending heart damage including heart attacks. view more (2005-08-01)
