Read moreTissue engineered bone and skin grafts, synthetic heart valves, ceramic hip replacements�?� surgery is turning us into bionic people. But the Achilles' heel in the prosthetic repertoire is fixing tendons�?� such as that found in the ankle. Now, researchers from the universities of Manchester and Liverpool have turned to nanotechnology to create artificial tendons using a spinning technique with a biodegradable plastic.

Read moreAutralian researchers noticed that some of the silicon wafer chips they were annealing under high temperature inert gas had white discoloration around the edges. More surprising still, if the wafer chips had a metal film on their surface, the white material covered the entire sample when annealed under certain conditions.
