Japanese researchers trained cultured rat cortical neurons to autonomously generate complex temporal signals using a ...

(Nanowerk News) Most conventional microfluidic devices are fabricated in inherently planar, block-like devices that can't be changed once fabricated. In contrast, an important feature of naturally ...

Chemical reactions such as the oscillating Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction can be used to model nervous systems. To do this, the BZ reaction is placed in grids of microfluidic PDMS wells which are ...

Microfluidics technology development is entering a new phase, according to Andreas Manz, Ph.D., head of research at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology, Saarbrücken, Germany. Now that the ...

From our June 15 Issue: The Confluence of Multiple Inflows Is Building Toward an Irresistible Outflow, Refreshing Research and Diagnostics Along the Way Multiple subdisciplines are feeding into ...

Active microvalves and passive microvalves in microfluidic chips. (A) Typical structure of active microvalve: sliding arm. PDMS structures contain a guiding channel and a fluidic channel and were ...

The material has been engineered for applications requiring exceptional light transmission and micron-level accuracy.

When you think of micro- or nanotechnology, you likely think of small electronics like your phone, a tiny robot or a microchip. But COVID-19 tests – which have proven to be central to controlling the ...
