The chips that datacenters use to run the latest AI breakthroughs generate much more heat than previous generations of silicon. Anybody whose phone or laptop has overheated knows that electronics ...

Active microvalves and passive microvalves in microfluidic chips. (A) Typical structure of active microvalve: sliding arm. PDMS structures contain a guiding channel and a fluidic channel and were ...

Chemists have created a device -- using little more than paper and sticky tape -- that can precisely separate liquids for further medical or environmental analysis. The scientists write in a ...

Stephen Quake, a bioengineer and applied physicist at Stanford University, has always been interested in the interface between physics and biology. During his work at the California Institute of ...

Microsoft reported today it has successfully tested a new cooling system that removed heat up to three times better than cold plates. The system is called microfluidics, an approach that brings liquid ...
