The anticipated advances have yet to materialize in part because it has proved much more difficult than originally thought to control the types of cells that develop from stem cells.</p> Tue, 13 Aug 2024 14:25:32 +0000 katherine.gombay@mcgill.ca 314577 at /newsroom /newsroom/allen-ehrlicher Fri, 03 Dec 2021 20:58:23 +0000 shirley.cardenas@mcgill.ca 283690 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/unbreakable-glass-inspired-seashells-333730 <p>Scientists from Æ»¹ûÒùÔº develop stronger and tougher glass, inspired by the inner layer of mollusk shells. Instead of shattering upon impact, the new material has the resiliency of plastic and could be used to improve cell phone screens in the future, among other applications.</p> Tue, 28 Sep 2021 14:35:19 +0000 shirley.cardenas@mcgill.ca 277026 at /newsroom
