Fixing Damaged Knees
Biomedical engineers
developed a robotic arm to
very precisely resurface the
knee before replacing it.
In order to do this, a 3-D
image of the knee is
generated, providing a
live-action view of the knee

Mini Fetal Monitor Saves Lives
High risk pregnancy
specialists designed a fetal
monitoring device that
tracks a baby's position and
movement in the womb, as
well as baby and mother
heart rates. The device is

Baby Treadmill
Kinesiologsts developed a
tiny treadmill to help
infants with Down Syndrome
learn to balance themselves
earlier. Typically, these
children learn how to walk
at 24 to 28 months, later
than the 12 months for those

Bacteria As Art
Biophysicists are growing
Petri dishes of different
species of bacteria in order
to develop new antibiotics.
The bacteria are subjected
to different temperatures
and have limited food
sources inside the dish.
