Rapid pregnancy and COVID-19 tests have a great advantage over other medical analyses: they are so simple that anyone can perform the test themselves, virtually anywhere. This is due to the robust principle behind these microfluidic ...
The synthesis of multifunctional nanoparticles is commonly a complex endeavor and hampers the clinical translation of effective nanomedicines. In their most recent work, Matthias Barz and coworkers present a microfluidic ...
A new single-cell encapsulation, lysis and barcoding method of cDNA is faster and requires less equipment, hardware, expense and expertise. It has been demonstrated to be compatible and scalable with any size container, from ...
A research paper by scientists at the Hebei University of Technology and Shenzhen University developed an on-chip viscoelasticity sensor for biological fluids.
When physicists recently steered a tiny microparticle toward a cylindrical obstacle, they expected one of two outcomes to occur. The particle would either collide into the obstacle or sail around it. The particle, however, ...
A joint research team from Skoltech, HSE, MPGU and MISIS has developed a compact sensor for biochemical analysis, opening up a new frontier in the development of the "lab-on-a-chip." Using bovine serum albumin film as an ...
As one of the basic physical properties, chirality plays an important role in many fields. Especially in biomedical chemistry, the discrimination of enantiomers is a very important research subject. Most biomolecules exhibit ...
Fungus is getting a pretty bad rap in pop culture right now thanks to HBO's hit zombie TV show "The Last of Us," in which a fungal mutation spread through the global food supply leads to the collapse of civilization. But ...
Smart voice assistants are a popular way for people to get quick answers or play their favorite music. That same technology could make the laboratory safer for scientists and technicians who handle potentially infectious ...
The formation of patterns is a universal phenomenon that underlies fundamental processes in biology. An example are the concentration patterns of proteins, which direct vital cellular processes, including cell division, polarity, ...
