Working with nanoliter volumes requires specialized devices and techniques capable of precise fluid handling and manipulation. Some key tools and methods used in nanoliter-scale research include: ...

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 ...

UC Davis engineers are developing a device to measure whether immunity to a previous year's flu virus (or from vaccination) will protect against a new variant. Based on a microfluidic chip, the device ...

Metabolic analysis of living cells in vitro is central to understanding cellular physiology, disease mechanisms, and responses to treatments. Traditional methods for monitoring metabolism often rely ...

A new microfluidic technology that leverages immune cell behavior is set to transform cancer monitoring, thanks to researchers at UNIST. Led by Professor Joo Hun Kang in the Department of Biomedical ...

What do rainbows, inkjet printers, human skin, pregnancy tests and fish gills have in common? To answer this question, we must travel to what Albert Folch, a bioengineering professor at the University ...

Bioengineering is the fastest-growing segment of engineering and holds the promise of improving the lives of all people in very direct and diverse ways. Bioengineering focuses on the application of ...
