Harper and engineer Thayne Edwards developed the microfluidics platform with the patent pending magnetic valves that move the sample through the testing process. Lead bioscientist Bryan Carson, with technologists Jackie Murton and Bryce Ricken, ...
So Rogers is now proposing a Plan B: a wearable electronic patch that incorporates standard silicon chips. The patch uses a microfluidic construction with wires folded to allow it to bend and flex around the rigid off-the-shelf chips. The patch doesn't ...
The shaping of micro-scale objects enables fine control over their mechanical interactions with light, providing a new avenue towards light driven micro-machines. This image shows a schematic of an optically trapped probe with specially shaped conical ...
Ni based magnetic shape memory alloys (MSMAs) have broad applications for actuators and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices. Two-stage stress induced martensitic phase transformation, a widely observed phenomenon in these alloys, ...
One reason is that most earlier studies employed a wafer-bonding technique to incorporate a photonic crystal structure inside the device, explained Noda. This bonding process induces many defects at the bonded interface that absorb laser light. “In our ...
