Hugo Award for his science fiction
novel Hominids. In Hominids,
quantum-computing researchers are
living on a parallel version of
Earth, where Neanderthals survived
to the present day and our kind of
Homo sapiens did not. While
attempting to factor an...

Stem Cells May Eliminate Need for
Heart Transplant
Sept. 1, 2003
*************************
Four out of a group of five
seriously ill Brazilian
heart-failure patients no longer
needed a heart transplant after
being treated with their own stem
cells. Such "regenerative medicine,"
in which stem cells extracted from
patients' own bone marrow are used
to rebuild tissue, may one day
become...
