To develop effective therapeutics against pathogens, scientists need to first uncover how they attack host cells. An efficient way to conduct these investigations on an extensive scale is through high ...

Modern biology is driven by technology, explains Philip J. Lee, Ph.D., co-founder, president, and director of research at CellASIC a five-year-old company that develops microfluidic technologies for ...

A bottleneck limits the effectiveness of microfluidic chips. Reaction-containing droplets can collide, break up, and foul experiments. 'It's a traffic problem, like several lanes of cars trying to ...

Microfluidics refers to the flow of a few microliters of fluids in micrometre-sized channels. For such flows, properties such as surface tension and fluidic resistance dominate how the system behaves.

Controlled light masking and tuned platinum catalysts make it possible to volumetrically 3D print silicone devices with open channels, eliminating molds and reducing fabrication time to minutes.

MANHATTAN, KAN. — Astronaut health is one of NASA’s top priorities. Once beyond Earth’s atmosphere, astronauts are exposed to ionizing radiation and microgravity. Effects from these, along with the ...
