Researchers at Brigham Young University have demonstrated the ability to create microfluidic lab-on-a-chip devices with channels and valves smaller than ever before. Using a new 3D printing technique, ...

Micro injection molding has become a cornerstone for mass-producing microfluidic devices, yet demolding defects and mold wear remain persistent challenges. This study introduces a nickel mold ...

A group of biochemical engineers, Siavash Ahrar, Manasi Raje, Irene Lee and Elliot Hui at the University of California, Irvine, has developed a finite state machine (FSM) implemented as a pneumatic ...

Polly Fordyce, who directs the Fordyce Lab, was awarded the Pioneer Award — a High Risk, High Reward grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in October. The microfluidics approach to cancer ...

Modifications and adaptations continue to improve how we use PCR, spurring a new level of creativity in genomics hypotheses and enabling a broad versatility in applications. PCR has the speed, ...

The use of space environment to carry out life science research is of great significance to issues affecting the occurrence and development of life on earth by space flight and space environment; ...

Lymphedema often occurs in survivors of breast cancer, because they are at high risk for lymph node damage or removal during surgical procedures. The locations of these nodes often make fluid and ...
