Physicists Constructed Micromachines using Same Trick Model Makers use to Get Ships into Bottle

Sometimes physicists resort to tried and trusted model-making tricks. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Metals Research, the University of Stuttgart and the Colorado School of Mines have constructed micromachines using the same trick that model makers use to get ships into a bottle where the masts and rigging of the sailing ship are not erected until it is in the bottle.

New "Barcode Chip" Promises to Revolutionize Diagnostic Medical Testing

A new "barcode chip" developed by researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) promises to revolutionize diagnostic medical testing. In less than 10 minutes, and using just a pinprick's worth of blood, the chip can measure the concentrations of dozens of proteins, including those that herald the presence of diseases like cancer and heart disease.

Scientists Created Electronics that Can Bend and Twist

Yonggang Huang, Joseph Cummings Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Mechanical Engineering at Northwestern University's McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science, and John Rogers, the Flory-Founder Chair Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, have improved their so-called “pop-up” technology to create circuits that can be twisted. Such electronics could be used in places where flat, unbending electronics would fail, like on the human body.

Analysis and Development of SPR Sensors Using UV-Visible-NIR Microspectrophotometers

Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) effects are the basis behind many biosensors
and microfluidic device detectors currently in use or under development. Simply
put, surface plasmons are electromagnetic waves that propagate along the surface
of an interface between a metal and a dielectric.
