| Using 3-D printing and injectable molds, bioengineered ears look and act like the real thing Posted: 20 Feb 2013 03:47 PM PST Bioengineers and physicians have created an artificial ear -- using 3-D printing and injectable molds -- that looks and acts like a natural ear, giving new hope to thousands of children born with a congenital deformity called microtia. Scientists have described how 3-D printing and injectable gels made of living cells can fashion ears that are practically identical to a human ear. Over a three-month period, these flexible ears grew cartilage to replace the collagen that was used to mold them.  |
| Simple view of gravity does not fully explain the distribution of stars in crowded clusters Posted: 20 Feb 2013 01:36 PM PST Gravity remains the dominant force on large astronomical scales, but when it comes to stars in young star clusters the dynamics in these crowded environments cannot be simply explained by the pull of gravity.  |
| Ultrahigh-definition TV: New Quad HD TV chip developed Posted: 20 Feb 2013 09:34 AM PST It took only a few years for high-definition televisions to make the transition from high-priced novelty to ubiquitous commodity -- and they now seem to be heading for obsolescence just as quickly. Several manufacturers have recently debuted new ultrahigh-definition, or UHD, models (also known as 4K or Quad HD) with four times the resolution of today's HD TVs.  |
| Cure for common hangover? 'Pill' mimics action of human liver in fighting alcohol intoxication Posted: 20 Feb 2013 08:43 AM PST In a discovery that could promise a quick fix to the common hangover, a team of engineers has identified a method for speeding up the body's reaction to the consumption of alcohol.  |
| Ancient 'Egyptian blue' pigment points to new telecommunications, security ink technology Posted: 20 Feb 2013 08:39 AM PST A bright blue pigment used 5,000 years ago is giving modern scientists clues toward the development of new nanomaterials with potential uses in state-of-the-art medical imaging devices, remote controls for televisions, security inks and other technology.  |
| New imaging device is flexible, flat, and transparent Posted: 20 Feb 2013 08:39 AM PST Digital cameras, medical scanners, and other imaging technologies have advanced considerably during the past decade. Continuing this pace of innovation, an Austrian research team has developed an entirely new way of capturing images based on a flat, flexible, transparent, and potentially disposable polymer sheet.  |
| Posted: 20 Feb 2013 05:44 AM PST A research group has shed new light on the evolutionary origin of the head. Scientists show that in a simple, brainless sea anemone, the same genes that control head development in higher animals regulate the development of the front end of the swimming larvae.  |
