There is an ecosystem living inside of us that scientists are only beginning to comprehend.

A research group at Case Western Reserve University, led by professor of biomedical engineering Dustin Tyler, works with neural implants in people who’ve lost limbs to restore not only motion with prosthetics, but also the sense of touch. "We spent a lot of time understanding how our language, the electrical language, is translated into the human perception, predominantly in terms of sense of touch," Tyler said. "The first time we went in with our subject, we had no idea what was going to happen

"If we find life on another planet, it's likely going to be microbial," said Ashley Manning-Berg, assistant professor in geology at The University of Tennessee in Chattanooga. "So a lot of the focus for evidence for life is not just to learn about the ecosystems on early Earth, it's a way of telling us that if life evolved and then died on Mars, what do we look for? Manning-Berg is studying how billion-year-old fossils of microorganisms were preserved on Earth, so we can know what to look for on

Cleveland’s greatest export may not be world-class healthcare, auto parts, or even LeBron James, it might be a management philosophy.

Epilepsy is a condition that we usually think of as being in the brain. Doctors typically identify it by measuring brain activity. However, new evidence has emerged showing that the brain may not be the only place we can see epilepsy. Roberto Galan is an adjunct associate professor of electrical engineering at Case Western Reserve University. “When I investigated the electrocardiograms - the electrical activity of the heart - in patients with epilepsy, and in control patients, I found

In the early 20 th century, physicists discovered cosmic rays- energetic particles zooming through deep space. Many of these come from the sun, and can cause the northern lights. However, a few, very mysteriously, come from somewhere else with enormous energy. “The real puzzle is no one has any idea what in the universe is capable of doing that," said Corbin Covault, professor of physics at Case Western Reserve University. "There's some ideas, like massive black holes sucking material down in
