Despite his influence not only on sculpture, but on engineering and cell biology, and despite some well-recognized pieces--the spindly, 60-foot "Needle Tower" at the Hirshhorn Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.
The principal aim of the grant is to evaluate the molecular mechanisms and underlying pathways of tissue engineering and cell therapy for regenerating airways and lung tissue, and to carry out translational studies for the prevention and effective treatment of a wide range of diseases.
Leery of previous moral and ethical debates about whether it is right to manipulate life forms which arose with the advent of cloning, stem-cell technology and genetic engineering some researchers chose neutral terms to describe the experimental cell.
Jim Fletcher, a mechanical engineering doctoral student in fuel cell technology, said the bus is 10 percent more efficient than comparable diesel buses -- a first step in what researchers expect will one day be a far more efficient form of transportation.
The company provides contract engineering services and test equipment for fuel cell developers.
The most successful methods for improving the banana through genetic engineering rely on the availability of embryonic cell suspensions.
ECONOMIST: A banana bank is safeguarding the future of the crop
Lilliputian's engineering miracle was in designing a tiny solid-oxide fuel cell that instead of melting everything in its vicinity is merely warm to the touch.
Though the artificial Golgi Dr Linhardt and his team have designed is much bigger than a cell, it is still small by the standards of human engineering, being built on what is known as a digital-fluidics chip.
Electronic Engineering Times reports that engineers are feverishly competing to develop sugarcube-sized digital cameras for incorporation into cell phones.
Technologies that let an IP-based telecommunications provider offer IP telephony services commensurate in quality to the traditional switched circuit providers, or at least as good a quality as cell phone providers can offer, are now getting close to being finalized by the Internet Engineering Task Force.
CNN: IP telephony is the "in" thing these days, but should it be?
The trick is to replace graphite with tin for the anode, which is one of the two main components in a battery cell, said Grant Norton, who headed the research and is a professor of mechanical and materials engineering at the university.
FORBES: Tin: The Secret To Improving Lithium-Ion Battery Life
The camp's re-engineering awards went to a group that developed a technique to alter the ID numbers on Global System for Mobile Communications cell phones and to another team that found a way to defeat a biometric fingerprint scanning system.
