New microchip technology performs 1,000 chemical reactions at once
Flasks, beakers and hot plates may soon be a thing of the past in chemistry labs. Instead of handling a few experiments on a bench top, scientists may simply pop a microchip into a computer and instantly run thousands of chemical reactions, with results - literally shrinking the lab down to the size of a thumbnail. view more (2009-08-04)
Drawing inspiration from nature to build a better radio
MIT engineers have built a fast, ultra-broadband, low-power radio chip, modeled on the human inner ear, that could enable wireless devices capable of receiving cell phone, Internet, radio and television signals. view more (2009-06-04)
UCI scientists use nanotechnology to create world's fastest method for transmitting information in cell phones and computers
UC Irvine scientists in The Henry Samueli School of Engineering have demonstrated for the first time that carbon nanotubes can route electrical signals on a chip faster than traditional copper or aluminum wires, at speeds of up to 10 GHz. view more (2005-06-10)
New ion trap may lead to large quantum computers
Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have designed and built a novel electromagnetic trap for ions that could be easily mass produced to potentially make quantum computers large enough for practical use. view more (2006-07-07)
Make your own microfluidic device with new kit from U-M
A type of device called a "lab-on-a-chip" could bring a new generation of instant home tests for illnesses, food contaminants and toxic gases. But today these portable, efficient tools are often stuck in the lab themselves. Specifically, in the labs of researchers who know how to make them from scratch. view more (2008-07-25)
ANALYTICA 2004: The 5 Minute PCR
At Analytica 2004, the Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH (IMM) presents the prototype of its modular kit for a "chip-based lab". Thanks to the special microfluidic system and a miniaturized tempering unit, the modular construction system makes it possible to realize reproduceable polymerase chain reactions in less than five... view more...

Special chip provides better picture of salmon health
How do you tell if a fish is fit and well? This is a question which has troubled farmers and biologists for years, but now scientists may have come up with the answer-using DNA chips. view more (2006-10-17)
AN ELEMENT OF UNCERTAINTY
Professor Alan Murray and Dr Martin Reekie of the Department of Electronics & Electrical Engineering aim to develop small analogue circuits which will do what conventional computers find difficult - to represent the element of uncertainty which is present in most physical and biological processes and is an intrinsic feature of many natural... view more...

Novel NIST connector uses magnets for leak-free microfluidic devices
Like other users of microfluidic systems, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) researcher Javier Atencia was faced with an annoying engineering problem: how to simply, reliably and most of all, tightly, connect his tiny devices to the external pumps and reservoirs delivering liquids into the system. view more (2009-11-18)
Hybrid structures combine strengths of carbon nanotubes and nanowires
A team of researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has created hybrid structures that combine the best properties of carbon nanotubes and metal nanowires. view more (2007-01-09)
Mapping dynamic Polycomb group proteins during Drosophila development
The developmental passage from a ball of cells to a fruit-fly is a very complicated process involving both temporal and spatial regulation of genes and pathways. view more (2006-04-20)
Carbon nanotubes outperform copper nanowires as interconnects
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have created a road map that brings academia and the semiconductor industry one step closer to realizing carbon nanotube interconnects, and alleviating the current bottleneck of information flow that is limiting the potential of computer chips in everything from personal computers to portable music... view more...

Saliva can help diagnose heart attack, study shows
Early diagnosis of a heart attack may now be possible using only a few drops of saliva and a new nano-bio-chip, a multi-institutional team led by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin reported at a recent meeting of the American Association for Dental Research. view more (2008-04-17)
Designing microchips that contain multiple selves
Rice University computer engineers have created a way to design integrated circuits that can contain many multiple selves. view more (2008-06-12)
Team of researchers achieves major step toward faster chips
New research findings could lead to faster, smaller and more versatile computer chips. view more (2009-05-08)
A medical micropump
Using material similar to bathtub caulk, University of Utah engineers invented a tiny, inexpensive "micropump" that could be used to move chemicals, blood or other samples through a card-sized medical laboratory known as a lab-on-a-chip. view more (2006-11-15)
New cell-based sensors sniff out danger like bloodhounds
A small, unmanned vehicle makes its way down the road ahead of a military convoy. Suddenly it stops and relays a warning to the convoy commander. The presence of a deadly improvised explosive device, or IED, has been detected by sophisticated new sensor technology incorporating living olfactory cells on microchips mounted on the unmanned vehicle.... view more...

Transistor laser functions as non-linear electronic switch, processor
The transistor laser invented by scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has now been found to possess fundamental non-linear characteristics that are new to a transistor and permit its use as a dual-input, dual-output, high-frequency signal processor. view more (2006-02-07)
Attack on computer memory reveals vulnerability of widely-used security systems
A team of academic, industry and independent researchers has demonstrated a new class of computer attacks that compromise the contents of "secure" memory systems, particularly in laptops. view more (2008-02-22)
Lab-on-a-Chip Homes in on How Cancer Cells Break Free
Johns Hopkins engineers have invented a method that could be used to help figure out how cancer cells break free from neighboring tissue, an "escape" that can spread the disease to other parts of the body. view more (2009-03-19)
