These markers serve as an early indicator of sepsis. This is based on microfluidics, which is the science of manipulating and controlling fluids. Microfluidics seeks to control fluids in the range ...
The technology could someday enable low-cost, portable diagnostic devices for testing blood samples, manipulating cells or assisting in microfabrication processes. Cilia are the body's diligent ...
The ability to precisely control the position and movement of miniature devices is being taken into new territory as KAUST scientists develop tinier and simpler devices without a single sensor.
This new type of micro-robot combines techniques from integrated circuit manufacturing with specialized alloys to walk, crawl, and scuttle when light heats walking joints.
Shaped like a miniature crab, with eight legs and pincers, the half-millimetre wide micro machine may be used in the future to eliminate tumours or clear blocked arteries in the human body.
