Some have even enlisted their caretakers to arrange offline play dates. "Animals are natural social-networking beasts," says Noah Paessel, CEO of SNIF Labs, a tech firm started by a group of MIT Media Lab graduate students to study "social networking...
...Studying many diseases, especially degenerative diseases, often entails isolating cells that are not readily accessible, such as brain cells. But by deriving patient-specific iPS cells with the new technology, Hochedlinger said, researchers will be able to study the development of the disease in a lab dish...
After having battled with FINA over this and other technologies, the TYR team decided to take a more holistic approach to the suit for 2008. While it spent plenty of time in the lab developing fabric and design structure, TYR focused most of its efforts on the swimmers and in the pool. Eric Shanteau, a member of the American Olympic team, swam seven personal best times at trials in a suit that he helped design. (Yes, he's the guy who went to Beijing despite a diagnosis of testicular cancer.) Shanteau, for example, had about an inch and a half...
...Racer has a few more bells and whistles than the Tracer Rise. For one thing, it looks a lot cooler. The long grey panels - you feel like an astronaut crossed with a figure skater - are products of multiple levels of technological innovation. Speedo used a NASA lab to measure more than 90 different fabrics in a wind tunnel to find the one with the smallest drag coefficient. It eventually settled on a nylon estane base fabric and a thin polyurethane membrane for the panels. Speedo hired ANSYS Fluent - known most recently for its work on the Formula One team...
