Many supermarket vegetables are already grown hydroponically in nutrient-enriched water, and research indicates this technique could work well in space.
Dr Michael Jacobs, the radiologist who led the research, said each technique had its advantages.
Dr Bilham and Vinod Gaur, from the Centre for Mathematical Modelling and Computer Simulation in Bangalore, writing late last year in Current Science, said that until recently Indian seismological research has neglected a technique known as geodesy, which measures the strains accumulating in, and distorting the surfaces of, plates.
These results suggest the technique could have future research possibilities in developing lab-grown organs.
ENGADGET: Researchers use 3D printer, sugar, to create a fake artery network for lab-grown tissue
On a related note, online learning tools often use games, a technique gaining support from research.
FORBES: To Regain Its Educational Lead, The U.S. Must Look To Entrepreneurs
Last month, Prof Wilmut announced that he was abandoning the cloning of human embryos in stem cell research in favour of a new technique developed in Japan.
Dell Computer (nasdaq: DELL - news - people ), SBC Communications (nyse: SBC - news - people ) and Belo (nyse: BLC - news - people ), have all made use of the technique, according to a Texas House research organization report.
Dr Keisuke Kaji, a stem cell researcher at the Medical Research Council Centre for Regenerative Medicine in Edinburgh said the technique was a "great advance" in cell reprogramming technology.
The Japanese technique circumvents the major ethical problem that has made research using embryonic stem cells controversial.
This is a continuation of research published three years ago, when the team used the same technique to establish initial contact with a patient diagnosed as vegetative.
Using an ingenious genetic tracing technique, in 2001 two members of Buck's research team, Zhihua Zou and Lisa Horowitz , did something that had seemed impossible: They discovered a map in the olfactory cortex.
Another technique for gaining fresh perspectives is to have non-experts research various aspects of your business.
Dr Tongesayi's findings also stand in stark contrast to prior published research on lead in rice, most of which have been established using a technique called mass spectrometry, which allows for more precision.
Although the first such images were published only last year, by research groups in America and Europe, attempts are already being made to commercialise the technique.
The new manufacturing technique has been under development for two years and is still in a research facility, hidden among the grubby buildings of Pirelli's sprawling Bicocca plant on the outskirts of Milan.
Other research being carried out by the team indicates the people who benefit most from the beating heart technique are those who have other problems, perhaps in the kidneys or lungs.
The new study's lead researcher Dr Tomas Cizmar, research fellow in the School of Medicine at the University of St Andrews, said while the technique is very new, it had huge potential.
