(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 ...

A single thread that can glow, compute, sense a hand moving through the air, and survive a trip through the washing machine sounds like science fiction, but a team at Donghua University in Shanghai ...

A programmable microfluidic device developed at the Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan, combines deterministic lateral displacement, a microfluidic technique used to separate particles according to ...

The Nature Index 2026 Research Leaders reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural sciences, health sciences, applied sciences and social sciences, according to their ...

Many microfluidics-based lab-on-a-chip devices use external pumps and micromachined parts to move liquids through tiny channels. 1 Brunnthal, Germany-based Advalytix, however, takes a different ...

A spatially programmable deterministic lateral displacement system developed at Science Tokyo uses temperature-responsive micropillars to create position-dependent separation conditions and ...

Precision in droplet formation is key to advancing lab-on-a-chip technologies. Now, researchers have unveiled a user-friendly method that generates individual droplets on demand with pinpoint accuracy ...
