A team of scientists from
Columbia University, Arizona State University, the University of Michigan and Caltech have programmed an autonomous molecular "robot" made out of DNA, to start, move, turn and stop, while following a DNA track. The development could ultimately lead to molecular systems that might be used for medical therapeutic devices and molecular-scale reconfigurable robots--robots made of many simple units that can reposition or even rebuild themselves.

NSF Webcast: Getting a Grip on Stroke Treatment
Wed, 19 May 2010 16:42:00 -0500
A new surgical device--tested using silicone copies of human cadaver blood vessels--is poised to advance stroke treatment and revolutionize how the medical community evaluates new technologies.
On Thursday, May 27, at 2:00 p.m. EDT, during a webcast hosted by the National Science Foundation, the developers of the net-like Insera SHELTERTM device will demonstrate how their technology filters and removes blood clots, and present the latest results from recent performance ...
