Sticky gel could have held the London Eye
These so-called "Trib-gels", being developed by Tribtech, are smeared onto the surfaces of the two components to be joined together. Moving the two components relative to eachother causes a metal-to-metal bond that resembles the 'galling' of two metals, dramatically increasing the frictional properties of the materials. This bond would have held... view more... (1999-10-29)
Research tool can detect autism at 9 months of age

Rutgers Research: Discoveries Shed New Light on How the Brain Processes What the Eye Sees
Researchers at the Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience (CMBN) at Rutgers University in Newark have identified the need to develop a new framework for understanding "perceptual stability" and how we see the world with their discovery that visual input obtained during eye movements is being processed by the brain but blocked... view more...

Sight for sore eyes
In a world-first breakthrough, University of New South Wales (UNSW) medical researchers have used stem cells cultured on a simple contact lens to restore sight to sufferers of blinding corneal disease. view more (2009-06-10)
ARDS mortality is unchanged since 1994
Mortality in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has not fallen since 1994, according to a comprehensive review of major studies that assessed ARDS deaths. This disappointing finding contradicts the common wisdom that ARDS mortality has been in steady decline. view more (2009-01-23)

UNC-Duke study: Impaired brain plasticity linked to Angelman syndrome learning deficits
How might disruption of a single gene in the brain cause the severe cognitive deficits associated with Angelman syndrome, a neurogenetic disorder? Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine and Duke University now believe they have the answer: impaired brain plasticity. view more (2009-05-11)
Madagascan tropical forests return thanks to better management and well-defined ownership
