A fabrication process can produce self-heating microfluidic devices in one step using a multimaterial 3D printer. These devices, which can be made rapidly and cheaply in large numbers, could help ...

Microplastics (MPs), plastic debris smaller than 5 mm, indirectly harm the environment. They are traditionally collected and removed from water by filtering through meshes, which is inefficient.

One of the great challenges in the fight against cancer is to design new technologies for a personalized treatment for each patient. Depending on the molecular characteristics—DNA mutations for ...

Researchers at the University of Houston, in collaboration with Baylor College of Medicine, are developing new devices for treating children with hyperleukocytosis, a condition that develops when the ...

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking, freely available droplet microfluidic component library, which promises to transform the way microfluidic devices are created. This innovation, based on ...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects over 800 million people globally and is often diagnosed too late for effective intervention. Early detection depends on accurate measurement of biomarkers such as ...

Traditional methods for pathogen detection are often expensive and time-consuming and requires a well-equipped laboratory. Here we present a low-cost, deployable paper-based biosensor device for rapid ...

Researchers from Brown University and their collaborators have developed a new way to measure the properties of cells—an important development, they say, because accurate measurements of changes in ...

I am contacting you regarding a recently published article in C&EN titled “Spurred by New Regulations, the Race Is On for Low-Cost PFAS Sensors,” by Britt E. Erickson. I am specifically reaching out ...

Plastic debris particles smaller than 5 mm in size, known as microplastics (MPs), are a serious environmental concern. Formed by the breaking down of plastic waste due to wear and tear and sunlight or ...
