A new discovery about the way things stick together at the very small scale could help engineer micro- and nanoscale devices. In a series of papers, the latest of which appears in Scientific Reports, researchers show that miniscule differences in the ...
Hyperbolic metamaterials are artificially made structures that can be formed by depositing alternating thin layers of a conductor such as silver or graphene onto a substrate. One of their special ...
The key to microfluidics is that fluids in microliter quantities have an entirely different behavior compared to fluids on a macroscale. The applications of microfluidics is vast, ranging from early stage clinical analyses to the chemical syntheses of ...
Measuring laser power is a challenge. You can concentrate the energy on a sensor and measure the resultant temperature rise, or divert a known fraction of the beam power and gauge against that amount. For the first option, the laser must be switched ...
A team led by scientists at the Broad Institute, MIT, and Massachusetts General Hospital has developed a prototype device that uses microfluidics to sort cell types extracted from clinical samples ...
