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

Detecting Asthma
Radiologists developed a new
method for viewing the lungs
of asthma sufferers. The
method uses a polarized
helium-3 gas--making it
visible during an MRI. The
patient inhales the helium-3
and undergoes an MRI, where

Tracking CO2
Biogeochemists located where
the most carbon dioxide
emissions occur in the U.S.
using a new mapping system.
With this program-available
to anyone on the
Web-researchers were able to
extract information about

Interventional Cardiologists Reduce Risk Of Stents By Magnetizing Endothelial Cells
Interventional cardiologists used magnetic particles to accelerate the process of healing after the placement of a stent. To do this, they extract cells from the interior of a patient's blood ... > more -
Engineers Create A Strong But Lightweight Isotruss Bike Using Carbon Fibers
Engineers used elements of architecture and geometry to create a strong but lightweight triangle-based isotruss bicycle frame. To make a road bike or mountain bike, the isotruss is first wound with ... > more -
Oral Biologists Use Chemistry To Formulate Cavity Fighting Mints
Oral biologists formulated a mint that fights cavities with an ingredient called Cavistat. Cavistat contains two main components that protect the teeth. First, the amino acid arginine metabolizes ... > more -
Botanists Develop 'Antifreeze' Spray for Plants
Botanists developed a spray that, when misted over a plant, will help it endure temperatures 2.2 to 9.4 degrees Fahrenheit colder than it would without the spray, depending upon the species. The ... > more -
Scientists And Engineers Develop Aerial Imaging System To Identify The Locations Of Persons In Need After Disasters
Research technologists using science and engineering have developed an aerial imaging system for the Center for Disease Control that can help them see how many people need help after a natural ... > more -
Ergonomists Find New Tires Provide More Control When Replaced In Rear
Ergonomists found that when replacing a vehicle's tires, the two newest tires should be placed in the rear in order to avoid oversteer and hydroplaning. Oversteer is when the rear tires slip out, ... > more -
Engineers Propose Aerodynamic Improvements For Truck Trailers
Engineers made aerodynamic alterations to the design of truck trailers in order to reduce drag and improve fuel economy. The design uses pressurized air active flow control techniques along with ... > more -
