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)

Researchers from Delft University of Technology and the FOM Foundation (Fundamental Research on Matter) have successfully measured transport through a single atom in a transistor. view more (2006-11-27)
Researchers create first nanofluidic transistor, the basis of future chemical processors
University of California, Berkeley, researchers have invented a variation on the standard electronic transistor, creating the first "nanofluidic" transistor that allows them to control the movement of ions through sub-microscopic, water-filled channels. view more (2005-06-30)
Carnegie Mellon scientist confirms liquid-liquid phase transition in silicon
Using rigorous computer calculations, researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and the Carnegie Institution of Washington have established evidence that supercooled silicon experiences a liquid-liquid phase transition, where at a certain temperature two different states of liquid silicon exist. view more (2009-03-17)
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)

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)
UF engineer develops tiny, easily mass-produced motion sensor
A University of Florida engineer is the latest researcher to design a tiny, easy-to-manufacture motion sensor, a development that could help popularize the sensors as standard equipment in personal electronics, medical devices and other applications. view more (2006-02-10)
Vise squad: Putting the squeeze on a crystal leads to novel electronics
A clever materials science technique that uses a silicon crystal as a sort of nanoscale vise to squeeze another crystal into a more useful shape may launch a new class of electronic devices that remember their last state even after power is turned off. view more (2009-05-11)
Spintronics - breakthroughs for next generation electronics
Traditional silicon chips in computers and other electronic devices control the flow of electrical current by modifying the positive or negative charge of different parts of each tiny circuit. However it is also possible to use of the mysterious magnetic properties of electrons - know as "spin" - to control the movement of currents. Many... view more... (2005-04-26)
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...

Microchip-based device can detect rare tumor cells in bloodstream
A team of investigators from the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Biomicroelectromechanical Systems (BioMEMS) Resource Center and the MGH Cancer Center has developed a microchip-based device that can isolate, enumerate and analyze circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from a blood sample. view more (2007-12-20)
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)
Novel DNA microarray chip predicts functional impairment and remission in rheumatoid arthritis
A new DNA microarray chip can predict severe disability and remission in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), as presented today at EULAR 2008, the Annual Congress of the European League Against Rheumatism in Paris, France. The chip (called the 'ARTchip') has yielded two clinical-genetic models of RA outcomes, to assist physicians in... view more... (2008-06-16)
Purdue simulation to help merge molecules with silicon electronics
Engineers at Purdue University have created a nanotech simulation tool that shows how current flows between silicon atoms and individual molecules to help researchers design "molecular electronic" devices for future computers and advanced sensors. view more (2005-08-18)
From trees to high-performance ceramics
When a racing driver brakes, the discs and linings become red-hot. These parts are commonly made of carbon-fiber-reinforced carbon and are black at moderate temperatures. Car manufacturers and their suppliers would dearly like to extend the use of these special brake pads and other hard-wearing parts developed for racing vehicles to perfectly... view more...

Precision bonding makes tiny high performance actuators possible
Using a new precision bonding process they developed, Penn State researchers have designed and fabricated tiny new piezoelectric microactuators - the largest only a hair's breadth wide - based on coupling commercially available materials with existing micromachining technology. view more (2005-10-04)
New NIST nano-ruler sets some very small marks
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued a new ruler, and even for an organization that routinely deals in superlatives, it sets some records. view more (2009-09-23)
Micro-pump is cool idea for future computer chips
Engineers at Purdue University have developed a tiny "micro-pump" cooling device small enough to fit on a computer chip that circulates coolant through channels etched into the chip. view more (2006-04-27)
