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

Hi-Tech Cycling
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 carbon fiber
