Microfluidics technology has contributed to powerful tools that have helped advance many areas of biology. The applications of microfluidic systems in chemistry and biochemistry have increased in ...

Droplet creation is a crucial but challenging subject in microfluidics. Depending on the application, the objective is to produce droplets of a particular size. Two immiscible phases are used in ...

An integrated microfluidic device enables rapid detection of protein biomarkers in patient samples. It is increasingly clear that the success of future therapeutics will depend on identifying those ...

Old-school electrical engineers—and plenty of older research scientists, even biologists like me—remember the days of building circuits from parts: capacitors, resistors, and transistors. The creation ...

It’s as if the go-to analogy these days for anything technical is, “It’s like a series of tubes.” Explanations thus based work better for some things than others, and even when the comparison is apt ...

Microfluidics is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles from physics, chemistry, and engineering to create devices that can process and analyze minuscule volumes of liquids. Often, ...

Data center rack density has risen rapidly in recent years. Operators are cramming more computing power into each server rack to meet the needs of AI and other high-performance computing applications.

Microfluidics, the precise control and manipulation of small volumes of liquids, is heavily used in any field that does small-scale experiments with expensive reagents (We’re looking at you, natural ...

The World Health Organization reports that around the world, people acquire more than a million curable sexually transmitted infections (STIs) every day. Most of those STIs, however, are asymptomatic.

The Trump administration canceled a $45 million award to Oregon State University on Thursday, money researchers thought they had secured in January for microfluidics research in Corvallis.
