Synthetic faces assist hearing-impaired
With the help of computer-animated faces, people with hearing impairments will soon be able to read lips over the phone. More powerful computers and better methods of animation make expressions and movements in synthetic faces so natural that they can be used for lip-reading. The quality is only... view more (2003-06-16)

New Antibacterial Textiles - Research News in Polymer International
Nano-sized silver particles open way to new breed of antimicrobial materials Scientists can now incorporate silver particles into polypropylene to produce an anti-microbial material that could be used in anything from carpets, to napkins and surgical masks. Silver has been medically proven to kill... view more (2003-06-23)

Crowning glory
Research present in a forthcoming issue of the International Journal of Nanomanufacturing from Inderscience Publishers suggests that coating dental implants with a synthetic bone material prior to implantation allows such implant to become incorporated much more successfully into the jaw, leading... view more (2008-04-07)

New path from estrogen to survival in breast cancer cells described
After years of research, scientists at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center are now able to explain, in exquisite molecular detail, how the estrogen hormone can help keep breast cancer cells alive.   view more (2006-09-26)

Researchers discover new way to predict survival in older women with lung cancer
