An inverse way for engineering

In general, thinking in engineering is carried out conceptually, the concepts being processed in the computer virtually and, in the end, the object or the part is obtained. In the case of inverse engineering, however, the path to be followed is exactly the reverse: the object or the part that physically exists ends up transformed into something virtual. This is exactly what they do in the Product Design Laboratory at the Higher School of Engineering in Bilbao.

1. UCR involved in discovery of diabetes fighting molecule
   01-23-2007 · EurekAlert!
   University of California, Riverside Assistant Professor of Bioengineering, Jiayu Liao played a pivotal role in the discovery of a small molecule that has been shown to control diabetes in mice and may pave the way to the development of easier treatment for adult-onset diabetes. This discovery was a collaboration between Liao at UC Riverside's Bourns College of Engineering and a team in the National Center for Drug Screening, Shanghai, which is part of the Chinese Academy of Science.

2. Engineering the heart piece by piece
   03-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Some day, heart attack survivors might have a patch of laboratory-grown muscle placed in their heart, and children born with defective heart valves might get new ones that can grow in place. But while these possibilities are all within reach, and could transform the way heart care is delivered, hurdles still remain, according to a new article about "bioengineering" heart tissue.

4. New direction for chance discovery?
   12-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
   There have been publications on the subject of chance discovery since Yukio Ohsawa proposed the concept of chance discovery in 2000, but the question arises: will the research continue in the way it is done now or shall chance discovery move towards a new direction? A special issue of the International Journal of Knowledge-Based and Intelligent Engineering Systems on the subject is being published by IOS Press in December.

6. Cancer-killing invention also harvests stem cells
   01-04-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Prof Michael King of the University of Rochester has invented a device that filters the blood for cancer and stem cells. When he captures cancer cells, he kills them. When he captures stem cells, he harvests them for later use in tissue engineering, bone marrow transplants, and other health applications. This is a non-controversial way of obtaining stem cells that can be differentiated into other, useful cells.

7. Making waves: How UCL research could minimize the impact of future tsunami
   07-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A team of experts is preparing to create tsunami in a controlled environment in order to study their effects on buildings and coastlines -- ultimately paving the way for the design of new structures better able to withstand their impact. Ahead of today's Coastal Structures 2007 International Conference, Dr. Tiziana Rossetto, UCL Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering, unveiled plans to develop an innovative new tsunami generator capable of creating scaled-down versions of the devastating waves.

8. ASU professor says engineers need to look at sustainability in different light
   02-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Engineers, trained to be object problem solvers, need to look at sustainability in a different way than they would approach other subjects in order to fully understand it, according to Arizona State University researcher Brad Allenby. Allenby, a professor in ASU's Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering, is speaking on February 16 at this year's annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in San Francisco.

10. Large earthquakes may broadcast warnings, but is anyone tuning in to listen?
    12-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
    There may be a way to detect the footfalls of large earthquakes a week or more before they strike. A Stanford professor thinks a method to provide such warnings may have been buried in the scientific literature for over 40 years.Antony Fraser-Smith, professor emeritus of electrical engineering and of geophysics, has evidence that big temblors emit a burst of ultra-low-frequency electromagnetic radio waves days or even weeks before they hit.
