Engineers have turned one of nature’s most reviled body parts into a precision tool, using the hollow feeding tubes of dead ...

The creation of multilayer microfluidic devices could enable the production of cheaper, more intricate lab-on-a-chip designs. Allowing for fluid control and analysis on a small scale, microfluidics ...

(a) Particle focusing in a circular and square channels (b–e) the main equilibrium patterns of particle focusing: (b) Segré-Silberberg ring, (c) MEP (Midline Equilibrium Position), (d) DEP (Diagonal), ...

(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 ...

Brown University engineers have demonstrated a technique for making 3-D-printed biomaterials that can degrade on demand, which can be useful in making intricately patterned microfluidic devices or in ...

"Frankly, some researchers didn't think what we were attempting was possible," says Dr Keith Firman, at Portsmouth University and Mol-Switch project coordinator, funded under the European Commission's ...

A new technique for fabricating liquid cooling channels onto the backs of high-performance integrated circuits could allow denser packaging of chips while providing better temperature control and ...

Microsoft unveiled a new method of cooling chips it claims can significantly boost both efficiency and energy consumption. Using microfluidics, where liquid coolant is brought directly inside the ...

The microfluidic cooling system tested by Microsoft promises up to 3x better heat removal than cold plates, improved power usage, and reduced operational costs. Microsoft has announced a new cooling ...
