Microchip fingerprints used to lock out chip pirates
Pirated microchips -- chips stolen from legitimate factories or made from stolen blueprints -- account for billions of dollars in annual losses to chipmakers. view more (2008-03-12)
Implantable chips bear promise, but privacy standards needed
Radio frequency identification (RFID) chips implanted into human beings hold the promise of improving patient care, particularly in emergency settings, but only after privacy questions are addressed, according to a Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) physician who has a chip implanted in his arm. view more (2005-07-28)
Mid Sweden University researchers set world record
When it comes to the density of connections on a chip, researchers in industrial electronics at Mid Sweden University hold the unofficial world record. Their new technique makes it possible to connect chips to an underlying substrate, such as a circuit board, with a density of 80,000 connections per square centimetre. "No one has ever managed... view more... (2004-06-04)
FISH on a chip offers quicker, less costly cancer diagnosis
For the first time an important diagnostic test for cancer has been miniaturized and automated onto a microfluidic chip by a team of University of Alberta researchers in Edmonton, Canada. view more (2007-06-20)
How to make microwaves on a chip to replace X-rays for medical imaging and security
Is microwave radiation the nondestructive imaging technology of the future? Microwaves with frequencies from a few hundred gigahertz (GHz) up to slightly over 1 terahertz (THz), penetrate just a short distance into surfaces without the ionizing damage caused by X-rays. view more (2008-05-30)
Enzyme fights mutated protein in inherited Parkinson's disease
An enzyme that naturally occurs in the brain helps destroy the mutated protein that is the most common cause of inherited Parkinson's disease, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found. view more (2009-06-26)
Sensor biochips could aid in cancer diagnosis and treatment
It is very difficult to predict whether a cancer drug will help an individual patient: only around one third of drugs will work directly in a given patient. view more (2009-10-22)
Game utilizes human intuition to help computers solve complex problems
A new computer game prototype combines work and play to help solve a fundamental problem underlying many computer hardware design tasks. view more (2009-07-29)
Team develops energy-efficient microchip
Researchers at MIT and Texas Instruments have unveiled a new chip design for portable electronics that can be up to 10 times more energy-efficient than present technology. The design could lead to cell phones, implantable medical devices and sensors that last far longer when running from a battery. view more (2008-02-05)
Deep and Crisp and Eaten: Scotland's Deep- Fried Mars Bar
Scotland has had a reputation as the home of the deep-fried Mars bar for many years. Researchers Dr Mark Petticrew, from the University of Glasgow, and Dr David Morrison had never actually seen them for sale but after a recent mention by Jay Leno, host of NBC's Tonight Show they set out to find if it is myth or fact. view more (2004-12-17)
Rochester Scientists Develop Fast-Working Biosensor
University of Rochester Medical Center scientists have demonstrated a new technology that accurately and rapidly detects the meat-spoiling and sometimes dangerous E. coli bacteria. view more (2006-02-24)
TNT-chip for clarification
By applying for a patent, Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH (IMM) has made an important move towards the commercialisation of a miniaturised analysis system for the detection of TNT in environmental samples. The project, which is funded by the BMBF (German Federal Ministry of Education and Research) with more than 400,000 Euros, is meant... view more... (2002-11-28)
Quantum computer chips now 1 step closer to reality
In the quest for smaller, faster computer chips, researchers are increasingly turning to quantum mechanics -- the exotic physics of the small. The problem: the manufacturing techniques required to make quantum devices have been equally exotic. That is, until now. view more (2009-10-16)
Music is the engine of new U-M lab-on-a-chip device
Music, rather than electromechanical valves, can drive experimental samples through a lab-on-a-chip in a new system developed at the University of Michigan. This development could significantly simplify the process of conducting experiments in microfluidic devices. view more (2009-07-23)
Analog and digital - hand in hand
Digital and high-frequency analog integrated circuits are manufactured using their own specific processes, leading `separate lives` in the past. Using standard CMOS, both types of component can now be integrated on a single chip - like a wireless transmitter device. view more (2002-02-01)
Nanoscale study gives new insight into heat transfer in biological systems
One of the first things we learn in chemistry class is that solids conduct heat better than liquids. But a new study suggests that in nanoscale materials, this is not necessarily the case. view more (2005-10-21)
Scientists create chip that detects viruses faster, better and cheaper than ever before
A new silicon chip that harnesses emerging technology at the nano scale will allow the detection of viruses faster, and more accurately, than ever before. One of the applications of this new technique will help save thousands of lives in patients undergoing heart transplants; by enabling doctors to detect rapidly whether a donor heart is infected... view more...

Prototyping a secure multipurpose, mobile chip
A powerful, high-capacity chip currently under development has the potential to revolutionise daily life, doing away with many of the identity documents, credit cards and passwords people have to use each day. view more (2005-04-08)
Hanover Trade Fair 2003: Precise positioning of optical fibres
Connector for the flexible set-up of optical communication networks Setting up low-cost optical communication networks requires suitable interfaces such as plug connectors or couplings which can position optical fibre ribbons with a very fine tolerance. Together with three cooperation partners, the Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH (IMM)... view more... (2003-04-07)
