Researchers put a lot of heart into their research at University of Houston • February 10, 2009
Matters of the heart dominate in February with Valentine’s Day and the American Heart Association’s ‘Heart Month’ topping the list. As you consider story ideas ranging from heart disease to relationships, keep in mind these resources from the University of Houston.
Pumps and Pipes 2 • December 02, 2008
Much like moving oil through a pipeline, the heart must pump blood through the body. Both systems need clean, well-functioning pipes (or blood vessels), free of blockages or corrosion, to function with incredible efficiency. Both industries also are crucial to our nation’s economy and future. Sponsored by ExxonMobil, the Methodist DeBakey Heart & Vascular Center and UH, the Pumps & Pipes II conference will stimulate discussion, spark ideas and share new technologies among experts in the petroleum, medical and imaging industries that face similar challenges, even if on a very different scale.

The bleeding edge of 3D face recognition • September 04, 2007
(TG Daily) Scientists at the University of Houston are researching an advanced form of 3D facial recognition. They're hoping to prove this technology powerful enough to serve as a foundational security component, one possibly working alongside other biometrics. More secure than PINs, faster and easier than swiping a card, and less invasive than being thumbprinted, 3D facial recognition systems could be the security breakthrough which keeps us all from being chipped.
