                        knitting mends brains Scientists have used a nanotechnology-based technique 
                        to repair traumatic brain injuries in hamsters. The brain 
                        injuries blinded the animals; the repair partially restored

                              most areas of science and technology, the origins 
                              of new breakthroughs can still be found in the work 
                              of a small number of people -- or even a single 
                              person -- working at their own pace on their own 
                              questions, pursuing things that interest them. " - Jon Kleinberg, Cornell University
