The optoelectronic approach, while novel, could be feasible in light of recent technological developments—advances in plasmonics, small-scale electronics, new materials like graphene, and nanotechnology fabrication. The Harvard team says a strength of ...
The technology, which was discussed in the "Point-of-care diagnostics for noncommunicable diseases using synthetic urinary biomarkers and paper microfluidics" published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), depends on ...
Photo: Microsystems Technology Laboratories/MIT Extremely Tiny X-ray: An electron-emitting chip is at the heart of a new type of X-ray source. It can replace large particle accelerators in phase-contrast imaging. The X-ray that imaged your father's ...
A new digital microfluidics platform creates 3D cell cultures shaped like stars, diamonds, and circles, report researchers. The tool, which can be used to study cells in cost-efficient, 3D microgels, may hold the key to personalized medicine ...
