(Nanowerk News) Most conventional microfluidic devices are fabricated in inherently planar, block-like devices that can't be changed once fabricated. In contrast, an important feature of naturally ...

Many microfluidics-based lab-on-a-chip devices use external pumps and micromachined parts to move liquids through tiny channels. 1 Brunnthal, Germany-based Advalytix, however, takes a different ...

Precision in droplet formation is key to advancing lab-on-a-chip technologies. Now, researchers have unveiled a user-friendly method that generates individual droplets on demand with pinpoint accuracy ...

Stephen Quake, a bioengineer and applied physicist at Stanford University, has always been interested in the interface between physics and biology. During his work at the California Institute of ...

The chips that datacenters use to run the latest AI breakthroughs generate much more heat than previous generations of silicon. Anybody whose phone or laptop has overheated knows that electronics ...
