McDonald's moving from Cleveland's Gordon Square neighborhood to Ohio City: Whatever happened to ...?
Since last September, McDonald's has been working to secure various approvals needed to build a restaurant on Lorain Avenue between Fulton Road and W. 38th Street in the Cleveland neighborhood of Ohio City.
New Cleveland State lab aims to develop 'smart' prosthetics and mobility aids (video)
A new Cleveland State University lab funded by Parker Hannifin Corp. and directed by scientist Antonie van den Bogert will develop computerized "smart" prosthetic limbs that mimic the abilities of natural ones, and motorized, wearable robotic "exoskeletons" that could help paralyzed people walk.
Cleveland researchers restore bladder control in rats with spinal cord injuries
In rats whose spinal cords were completely cut -- the worst kind of paralysis injury -- scientists from Case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland Clinic were able to restore bladder control by prodding nerve fibers to gradually grow across gaps the width of a pencil and reconnect.
Cleveland research team's creation of squid-like material could lead to better prosthetics and implants (video)
In a bit of scientific mimicry that may produce better prosthetic limbs and medical implants, Cleveland researchers have figured out how to duplicate squids' ability to merge very hard and very soft materials.
NASA's Plum Brook Station tests rocket fairing for SpaceX (video)
Inside a "horn room" that can produce sounds far louder than a jet engine, NASA's Plum Brook testing station in Sandusky is testing a new rocket component for the upstart aerospace company SpaceX.
CWRU researcher and graduate student launch biomedical business to develop malaria detector
Case Western Research University malaria researcher Brian Grimberg and engineering and management graduate student John Lewandowski are developing a handheld device that uses a laser and magnets to detect malaria infection in a patient's blood.
Cleveland museum's dome-headed dinosaur find adds insight to dinosaur diversity (video)
The discovery of a new kind of dome-headed dinosaur by a research including the Cleveland Museum of Natural History's Michael Ryan shows that small-bodied, plant-eating dinosaurs may have been more diverse and plentiful than previously thought.
Efforts to stop Irishtown Bend from falling into Cuyahoga River: Whatever happened to ...?
An August 2009 report from the Army Corps of Engineers detailed several repair options, ranging in cost from $80 million to $219 million. The report also noted that no one entity has jurisdiction over the Bend, so no one bears sole responsibility for fixing the stability problem.
NASA's proposed asteroid-snaring mission would ride on Glenn ion engines (video)
Later this decade, a robot spacecraft riding an ion engine developed at Cleveland's NASA Glenn Research Center will aim for an asteroid circling a million or so miles from Earth. It will nuzzle up to the tumbling, dump truck-sized rock, unfurl a fabric grab-bag to snare it like a Venus flytrap, then fire up the ion engines and haul the asteroid into orbit around the moon.
Record-sized Lake Erie algae bloom of 2011 may become regular occurrence, study says
The record-shattering glut of toxic algae that fouled much of Lake Erie in 2011 wasn't a fluke, but a sign of what's likely ahead for the troubled lake, researchers say.
NASA audit says test facilities in Cleveland, Sandusky may be expendable
Five NASA Glenn Research Center testing facilities that helped forge the Cleveland lab's reputation as an aerospace innovator are under-used and potentially expendable, the space agency's inspector general says.
