| Scientists grow cartilage to reconstruct nose Posted: 10 Apr 2014 04:46 PM PDT Scientists report first ever successful nose reconstruction surgery using cartilage grown in the laboratory. Cartilage cells were extracted from the patient's nasal septum, multiplied and expanded onto a collagen membrane. The so-called engineered cartilage was then shaped according to the defect and implanted.  |
| Sneak a peek through the mist to technology of the future Posted: 10 Apr 2014 04:46 PM PDT A tabletop display with personal screens made from a curtain of mist that allow users to move images around and push through the fog-screens and onto the display, will be unveiled at an international conference.  |
| Laboratory-grown vaginas implanted in patients Posted: 10 Apr 2014 04:43 PM PDT Scientists reported the first human recipients of laboratory-grown vaginal organs. They have described long-term success in four teenage girls who received vaginal organs that were engineered with their own cells.  |
| Posted: 10 Apr 2014 11:19 AM PDT A brain circuit that's key to shifting our focus from one object to another has been identified by neuroscientists. The new findings suggest that there are two types of attention that have similar mechanisms involving related brain regions: object-based attention, and spatial attention. In both cases, the prefrontal cortex -- the control center for most cognitive functions -- appears to take charge of the brain's attention and control relevant parts of the visual cortex, which receives sensory input.  |
| Posted: 09 Apr 2014 10:47 AM PDT Using a laser to place individual rubidium atoms near the surface of a lattice of light, scientists have developed a new method for connecting particles -- one that could help in the development of powerful quantum computing systems. The new technique allows researchers to couple a lone atom of rubidium, a metal, with a single photon, or light particle.  |
| Images from NASA Mars rover include bright spots Posted: 08 Apr 2014 06:51 PM PDT Images taken by NASA's Curiosity Mars rover on April 2 and April 3 include bright spots, which might be due to the sun glinting off a rock or cosmic rays striking the camera's detector.  |
