Biomedical engineers at Brown University have created a plastic replication of cells using a two step molding process. The result: a copy so authentic that the trained eye could not distinguish a difference.
Relying on Schwann cells (those covering nerve fibers [...]

While engineering advances have allowed for the construction of “hurricane proof” homes, such structures remain a rarity, even in the most vulnerable coastal areas of the United States. The reason: building homes that can withstand a Category 5 hurricane is prohibitively costly.
