"Sloppy Genes" Behave Like Their Neighbours: New Findings Reveal That The Regulation Of Gene Expression Is Much Less Strictly Controlled Than Was Previously Thought
The inaugural issue of Journal of Biology features groundbreaking research that challenges the traditional view of how genes are controlled. Our current understanding of gene expression, the fundamental process by which proteins are made from the instructions encoded in DNA, is that the process is tightly controlled so that the correct amount of... view more...

Emulating and testing chips
Even coffee machines will soon begin to "think" for themselves. There is at least a clear trend emerging to equip all kinds of electrical devices with chips that offer special functions. It takes a considerable amount of time to develop such ASICs - application-specific integrated circuits. "From establishing initial contact with... view more... (2002-11-27)
NIST micro sensor and micro fridge make cool pair
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have combined two tiny but powerful NIST inventions on a single microchip, a cryogenic sensor and a microrefrigerator. The combination offers the possibility of cheaper, simpler and faster precision analysis of materials such as semiconductors and stardust. view more (2008-04-16)
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)
Integrated optical trap holds particles for on-chip analysis
A new type of optical particle trap can be used to manipulate bacteria, viruses and other particles on a chip as part of an integrated optofluidic platform. view more (2009-07-06)
Hankering for molecular electronics? Grab the new NIST sandwich
The sandwich recipe recently concocted by scientists working at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) may prove tasty for computer chip designers, who have long had an appetite for molecule-sized electronic components - but no clear way to satisfy it until now. view more (2009-08-27)
Major milestone in human genome story: Affymetrix launches the whole human genome on a single chip
Affymetrix Announces Commercial Launch of Single Array for Human Genome Expression Analysis view more (2003-10-02)
ETH Zurich Develops a Single-chip Microsensor System to Analyse Gases
There are many target application areas envisaged for the gas sensor chip. Air quality in closed rooms can be monitored. The presence of dangerous - even poisonous - substances in the air can be detected, such as benzene from petrol pumps or perchloroethylene from dry-cleaning installations, and warnings can then be issued. Low-cost Mass... view more... (2001-11-14)
SEK 50 million to microelectronics research in Linköping
In the five years to come the Linköping Institute of Technology will be one of four strategic research centers in microelectronics in Sweden. The Foundation for Strategic Research has allocated SEK 50 million to a Linköping-based research program for the design of complex systems for communication. In five years the capacity of a single... view more... (2002-10-14)
Penn Scientists Map Molecular Regulation of Fat-Cell Genetics
A research team led by Mitchell Lazar, MD, PhD, Director of the Institute for Diabetes, Obesity, and Metabolism at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, has used state-of-the-art genetic technology to map thousands of positions where a molecular "master regulator" of fat-cell biology is nestled in DNA to control genes in... view more...

Hanover Trade Fair 2003: Zigzag for the maximum µ-concentration
The dielectrophoresis (DEP) chip as µ-concentrator for reliable analyses Developed jointly by the Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH (IMM) and NorChip AS, the µ-concentrator is particular suitable for application in biomedical diagnostics. Using DEP, this chip enables the highly efficient separation and concentration of polarisable... view more... (2003-04-07)
Low-cost magnetic field sensors
People who can claim possession of the latest generation of outdoor wristwatch may rightly assume that the conventional compass with its magnetic needle has served its time. Thanks to modern, space-saving chip technology, new features are constantly being integrated: altimeters, cameras, or even electronic compasses can be conveniently worn on the... view more...

Molecular atlas provides new tool for understanding estrogen-fueled breast cancer
Lurking in unexplored regions of the human genome are thousands of previously unknown on/off switches that may influence how the growth of breast cancer is driven by estrogen. view more (2006-10-03)
International research team identifies gene that promotes prostate cancer
Together with an international research team, researchers from VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland have developed an effective method for the screening and identification of genes that under normal conditions suppress cancer growth. The method enabled the discovery of a new cancer gene, which, when damaged, may promote prostate cancer.... view more... (2004-11-24)
Silicon chips for optical quantum technologies
A team of physicists and engineers has demonstrated exquisite control of single particles of light - photons - on a silicon chip to make a major advance towards the long sought after goal of a super-powerful quantum computer. view more (2008-03-28)
MIT develops new way to fuse cells
MIT engineers have developed a new, highly efficient way to pair up cells so they can be fused together into a hybrid cell. view more (2009-01-05)
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)
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)
Computational analysis shows that plant hormones often go it alone
