Liver On A Chip? Maybe Someday, Say Researchers
A project designed to culture liver tissue, pioneered by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), may help to one day soon save lives. Cell-holding scaffolds for the project are made of laser-machined polymers (polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate, and polyimide). Extremely small

Tight seals for the long haul
that the vast majority of foam-gasketing materials EPDM, neoprene, EVA, polyethylene, and various blends seal well initially, but often collapse over time and under compressive loads. Exterior water-sealing foams are gaining importance as exterior electronics become more complex. In windshield-wiper motors
