Mimicking the Brain -- In Silicon: New Computer Chip Models How Neurons Communicate With Each Other at Synapses
November 15, 2011 — For decades, scientists have dreamed of building computer systems that could replicate the human brain's talent for learning new tasks. Researchers have now taken a major step toward that goal by ... > full story -
Fertility Chip Measures Concentration and Motility of Sperm
October 28, 2011 — Scientists have developed a “fertility chip” that can accurately count sperm and measure their motility. The chip can be inserted into a compact device for one-off use. A home test kit ... > full story -
Magnetic Attraction: Microchip Demonstrates Concept of 'MRAM for Biomolecules'
October 19, 2011 — Researchers have developed a low-power microchip that uses a combination of microfluidics and magnetic switches to trap and transport magnetic beads. The novel transport chip may have applications in ... > full story -
Vectors of Bluetongue Get a Name
October 6, 2011 — Scientists of the Antwerp Institute of Tropical Medicine (ITG) have developed a molecular technique to easily and dependably identify the biting midges that spread bluetongue disease. Until know this ... > full story -
New Research Promises Better Collection of Prostate Cancer Cells
September 28, 2011 — Using something called "inertial microfluidics," researchers are able to safely separate and collect concentrated volumes of fragile prostate cancer cells from small sample batches. This, in turn, ... > full story -
Development of a New Chip for Characterizing Ultrafast Optical Pulses
September 22, 2011 — Boosting up microprocessors -the heart of modern computers- at the speed of light, reducing consumptions and costs, may now be a reality thanks to the development of a new high-performance ... > full story -
Glowing, Blinking Bacteria Reveal How Cells Synchronize Biological Clocks
September 1, 2011 — Biologists have long known that organisms from bacteria to humans use the 24 hour cycle of light and darkness to set their biological clocks. But exactly how these clocks are synchronized at the ... > full story -
Sensor Chip for Monitoring Tumors
August 26, 2011 — A chip implant may soon be capable of monitoring tumors that are difficult to operate on or growing slowly. Medical engineers have developed an electronic sensor chip that can determine the oxygen ... > full story -
Better 'Photon Loops' May Be Key to Computer and Physics Advances
August 22, 2011 — Scientists have designed a fault-tolerant way to make "photon delay" devices, a key component for future photon-based computer ... > full story -
Engineers Solve Longstanding Problem in Photonic Chip Technology: Findings Help Pave Way for Next Generation of Computer Chips
August 4, 2011 — Stretching for thousands of miles beneath oceans, optical fibers now connect every continent except for Antarctica. But although optical fibers are increasingly replacing copper wires, carrying ... > full storyMore:
