Currently, fluidic control in microdevices is mainly achieved either by external pumps and valves, which are expensive and bulky, or by valves integrated in the chip. Numerous types of internal valves ...

It's designed, built, validated: it's time for your lab to celebrate the birth of a microfabricated device that can be used for bioanalysis or manipulation experiments and needs only microliters, or ...

A research team recently developed "sliding walls" as a new technique for fluid control in microfluidic devices, allowing semi-rigid or rigid walls to slide inside a microfluidic chip. In a new report ...

(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 ...

A new study published on Microsystems and Nanoengineering by Kazuhiro Kobayashi and Hiroaki Onoe details the development of a flexible and reflective multicolor display system that does not require ...

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking, freely available droplet microfluidic component library, which promises to transform the way microfluidic devices are created. This innovation, based on ...

Wearable sweat sensors play an important role for clinically meaningful information relative to health and disease of individuals. While sensors mainly rely on enzymes and antibodies to achieve ...

One thousand microchannels, each the width of a human hair, can be printed for as little as £0.20. (Courtesy: CC BY 4.0/PLoS ONE 10.1371/journal.pone.0245206) Researchers at the University of Bristol ...

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 ...
