IBM Advancement To Spawn New Generation Of Chips
January 29, 2007 IBM has announced it has developed a long-sought improvement to the transistor -- the tiny on/off switch that serves as the basic building block of virtually all microchips made today. Working with ... > full story -
New Miniaturized Device For Lab-on-a-Chip Separations
January 19, 2007 Researchers at NIST have developed an elegantly simple, miniaturized technique for rapidly separating minute samples of proteins, amino acids and other chemical mixtures. A low-cost prototype device ... > full story -
Carbon Nanotube Functions Like Atom-Scale Switch
January 18, 2007 ORNL researchers performing basic research have discovered a carbon nanotube-based system that functions like an atom-scale switch. Their approach is to perform first-principles calculations on ... > full story -
Mixing It Up With E. Coli
January 15, 2007 Poetry in motion may seem like an odd way to describe swimming bacteria, but that's what researchers at Drexel University got when they enlisted Escherichia coli (E. coli) in an effort to tackle a ... > full story -
Hybrid Structures Combine Strengths Of Carbon Nanotubes And Nanowires
January 8, 2007 A team of researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has created hybrid structures that combine the best properties of carbon nanotubes and metal nanowires. The new structures, which are ... > full story -
Gene Chip Discovery May Lead To Individualized Treatment For 5 Hereditary Liver Diseases
December 22, 2006 Researchers at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center have developed the first gene chip to use in the early diagnosis of at least five hereditary liver diseases, to detect genetic causes of ... > full story -
Steering Toward The Much-Discussed Lab-on-a-Chip
December 18, 2006 Scientists are reporting discovery of technology that may simplify construction of those much-discussed Micro Total Analysis Systems (micro-TASs) -- "labs-on-a-chip" with whole medical and scientific ... > full story -
New Targets May Hit Bull's-Eye For Chip Makers
December 9, 2006 The bull's-eye solution to the semiconductor industry's hunt for more exact means to measure the relative positions of ever-tinier devices squeezed by the millions onto silicon chips might be new ... > full story -
Breakthrough In Magnetic Devices Could Make Computers More Powerful
December 6, 2006 Scientists have created novel "spintronic" devices that could point the way for the next generation of more powerful and permanent data storage chips in computers. Physicist at the Universities of ... > full story -
Taking 'Chips' To The Next Level Of Gene Hunting
November 16, 2006 Researchers at the Johns Hopkins' High Throughput Biology Center have invented two new gene "chip" technologies that can be used to help identify otherwise elusive disease-causing mutations in the 97 ... > full story
