Nathan Blow reports. The field of microfluidics is now at a point where the search is on for a 'killer application'—or a 'killer app' as computer people would say. Over the past ten years ...

At Texas A&M University, one research lab is changing the game of droplet microfluidics, a technique that involves conducting ...

2 This design integrated these microvalves onto a bilayer PDMS microfluidic chip. Liquid flowed through the bottom channel, while the upper channel sat perpendicular to it. When activated under ...

Nanomaterial Applications: Heat has become one of the most critical issues in computer and semiconductor design. To improve on the currently used heat sinks, researchers have demonstrated a ...

Dr. Arum Han, the Texas Instruments Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and his lab, created a technology named NOVAsort (Next-generation Opto-Volume-based Accurate ...

Microfluidics (also called 'lab-on-chip') has been touted as a means to miniaturize biology and chemistry on tiny, hand-held devices (see picture). There are numerous advantages with microfluidics ...

Years ago, prototyping microfluidic systems was a long, time-intensive task. With inspiration from DIY PCB fabrication techniques, that time is now greatly reduced. However, even with the ...

Tentative 2025 date: June 23-27, 2025 Introduction to Microfluidics Technology is a hands-on laboratory course sponsored by the National Science Foundation’s Bioinspired Soft Materials Research ...

In order to uncover the relationship between structure and function, researchers used microfluidic devices to study neuronal networks. Uncovering the relationship between structure (connectivity ...
