Although placing an IOL within the space from which the cataract had been removed seemed (and seems still) a natural, almost obvious choice, ophthalmologists abandoned posterior chamber lens implantation within a few years.

Recreating the Sound of Stonehenge

Stonehenge is the largest and most complex ancient stone circle known to mankind. In its original form, the concentric shape of stone rings would have surrounded an individual both visually and aurally. It is an outdoor space and most archaeological evidence suggests it did not have a roof. However, its large, semi-enclosed structure, with many reflecting surfaces, would have reflected and diff...

Recreating ancestral proteins.

Tracing the history of molecular changes using phylogenetic methods can provide powerful insights into how and why molecules work the way they do. It is now possible to recreate inferred ancestral proteins in the laboratory and study the function of these molecules. This provides a unique opportunity to study the paths and the mechanisms of functional change during molecular evolution. What ins...
