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: ...

Microfluidics is a powerful technique for modulating the fluidic behavior of bioparticles in microscale channels and has opened up new avenues for biomedical research and clinical diagnosis.

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 ...

The Helmholtz Association is launching a nationwide biomedical engineering initiative to accelerate technology development and transfer activities. Led by its established Health Centers, “Helmholtz ...

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a fraction of blood plasma; its concentration of platelets is of great value in regenerative medicine as they are essential in accelerating healing and repairing tissue.

The chips that datacenters use to run the latest AI breakthroughs generate much more heat than previous generations of silicon. Anybody whose phone or laptop has overheated knows that electronics ...

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 ...
