Microfluidics, the precise control and manipulation of small volumes of liquids, is heavily used in any field that does small-scale experiments with expensive reagents (We’re looking at you, natural ...

Isolating circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from patient blood is the fundamental principle behind liquid biopsy and numerous microfluidic devices have been developed in recent years to increase the ...

Microfluidics is the study of systems that can process small quantities of fluids by using tiny channels having dimensions at the microscale – typically tens to hundreds of micrometres. Although in ...

When researchers study rare cells in the body such as those shed by tumors, they have precious little material to work with. Now, a team has developed a quick and easy microfluidic method for ...

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 ...

Microfluidic devices have the potential to automate and miniaturize biological experiments, but open-source sharing of device designs has lagged behind sharing of other resources such as software.

When you think of micro- or nanotechnology, you likely think of small electronics like your phone, a tiny robot or a microchip. But COVID-19 tests – which have proven to be central to controlling the ...

With the continuous advancement of biomedical research toward high-throughput, precision, and personalized approaches, traditional experimental methods have shown obvious limitations in reaction ...

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 ...
