Artificial gill will let man swimwith the fishes From: Mail on Sunday | Date: April 23, 2006| Author: ELEANOR MAYNE | Copyright 2006 Mail on Sunday. Provided by ProQuest LLC.Copyright information

SCIENTISTS are developing 'human gills' that could allow people to breathe underwater.

Experts funded by the American military have come up with an artificial system that successfully mimics the action of fishes' gills which extract oxygen from water to allow them to breathe.

The researchers can now start work on adapting the gills to fit humans and pass the extracted oxygen to the lungs. Divers will most likely wear the units on their chests, and a small power source will ens...
