The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has unveiled an effort that will help address challenges in the development of optical microsystems. Established under the Electronics Resurgence Initiative, the Lasers for Universal Microscale Optical Systems program aims to build photonics systems that will incorporate optical gain, high-speed ...
Wafer-to-wafer bonding is preferable to chip-to-chip or chip-to-wafer bonding because it offers high throughput and simplifies alignment between the layers of the structure. Generally speaking, the bonding surfaces need to be planar and clean. Topography ...
Medication that, up until now, has been difficult to administer for the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease, has just been made useful by using a nanoscale silicone chip to "trick" the blood-brain barrier (BBB) into allowing entry of the drug, according to new research by the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in partnership with Bar-Ilan ...

The reaction of species in solutions flowing laminarly (without turbulent mixing) inside capillaries was used as the basis for a broadly applicable method of microfabrication. In this method, patterning occurs as a result of transport of reactive species ...
A novel and simple method to fabricate microchannels is reported based on an inkjet printing of a volatile solid mold. A liquid ink -1,6 hexanediol- ejected from a piezoelectric nozzle is instantaneously frozen when touching a cooled substrate. The created mold is then poured with PDMS. Once the PDMS is crosslinked, the ink is sublimated and ...
