Besides the opportunity to see works that have not been displayed for more than a decade, visitors will be able to see the murals in a new light, thanks to new digital restoration technology.  <a href="/web/20140710230447/http://www.gizmag.com/rothko-harvard-murals/32374/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="32367"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="vsmall" href="/web/20140710230447/http://www.gizmag.com/space/" style="float: left; margin-right: 9px;">SPACE</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2> <a href="/web/20140710230447/http://www.gizmag.com/kepler-10c-mega-earth-exoplanet/32367/">Kepler-10c: The planet that shouldn't exist</a> </h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20140710230447/http://www.gizmag.com/author/david-szondy/">David Szondy</a></div> <div class="date">June 2, 2014</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20140710230447/http://www.gizmag.com/kepler-10c-mega-earth-exoplanet/32367/#comments">7 Comments</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20140710230447/http://www.gizmag.com/kepler-10c-mega-earth-exoplanet/32367/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140710230447im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/kepler-super-planet.jpg" title="Kepler-10c is 17 times more massive than the Earth (Image: NASA/Harvard-Smithsonian Center..." alt="Kepler-10c is 17 times more massive than the Earth (Image: NASA/Harvard-Smithsonian Center..."/> </a> <div class="summary"> <p> Despite being currently offline, the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140710230447/http://www.gizmag.com/kepler-186f/31702/" target="_blank">Kepler space telescope</a> is still turning up surprises.

In fact, though, its motion is more similar to that of a dish rag being wrung out, with the top of the organ twisting in a clockwise direction while the bottom contracts counterclockwise. It's known as the left ventricular twist, and scientists have now replicated it using artificial muscles. The research could lead to better-functioning cardiac implants, among other things.  <a href="/web/20140710230447/http://www.gizmag.com/pneumatic-artificial-muscle-twisting-heart/31059/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="30928"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="vsmall" href="/web/20140710230447/http://www.gizmag.com/science/" style="float: left; margin-right: 9px;">SCIENCE</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2> <a href="/web/20140710230447/http://www.gizmag.com/bioprinting-human-tissue-harvard/30928/">New bioprinting technique creates thicker, healthier tissue</a> </h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20140710230447/http://www.gizmag.com/author/nick-lavars/">Nick Lavars</a></div> <div class="date">February 23, 2014</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20140710230447/http://www.gizmag.com/bioprinting-human-tissue-harvard/30928/#comments">2 Comments</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20140710230447/http://www.gizmag.com/bioprinting-human-tissue-harvard/30928/pictures">2 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20140710230447/http://www.gizmag.com/bioprinting-human-tissue-harvard/30928/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140710230447im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/bioprinted_multiple_cell_tissue.jpg" title="The researchers used three specially developed inks that borrow biological properties from..." alt="The researchers used three specially developed inks that borrow biological properties from..."/> </a> <div class="summary"> <p> The notion of 3D printed <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140710230447/http://www.gizmag.com/droplet-network-3d-printer/26943/" target="_blank">biological tissue</a> holds all kinds of possibilities for drug testing and the reparation of damaged cells, though replicating the complexities of human tissue in a lab presents some very big challenges.
