Caltech wants to explore the ocean with swarms of bionic jellyfish
Now, thanks to a prosthetic device that acts a bit like a pacemaker, they have found a way to propel them through the water even faster than before. “The microelectronic device that we embed in the jellyfish is able to control the muscle contractions that the animals use to swim,” John Dabiri, the lead researcher on this project ...Digital Trends: 2020-01-31

UBC Okanagan researchers develop roadside cannabis breathalyzers
Engineering professor Mina Hoorfar has been working on a device using ‘artificial nose’ technology which uses microfabrication appliances that can detect hazardous molecules, in this case THC. Hoorfar runs the university’s Advanced Thermo-Fluidic Lab and has collaborated with Cannabix Technologies to commercialize a marijuana breathalyzer.BC Local News: 2020-02-07

Ultracompact 3D microfluidics for time-resolved structural biology
To advance microfluidic integration, we present the use of two-photon additive manufacturing to fold 2D channel layouts into compact free-form 3D fluidic circuits with nanometer precision. We demonstrate this technique by tailoring microfluidic nozzles and mixers for time-resolved structural biology at X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs). We ...Nature: 2020-01-31

Utah State University: 3D Printing for Pharmaceuticals on the Micro Scale
First off, we have to admit to being... In ‘Application of Micro-Scale 3D Printing in Pharmaceutics,’ authors Andrew Kjar and Yu Huang of Utah State University examine the advantages of fabricating drugs on the micro-scale. As they point out, creating 3D printed drug delivery systems can be difficult due to challenges in reaching the ...3dprint.com: 2020-01-28

Focus: Buckling on Command
In civil engineering, buckling is a curse word, as it often leads to mechanical failure. However, it can play an important role in nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS)—devices that combine electronic components like transistors with nanoscale motors, pumps, or mechanical actuators. In NEMS, the buckling of a nanoscale piece could be used to ...American Physical Society: 2020-01-31

Chaos generated with a nanoscale magnetic vortex
Magnetic vortices are nanoscale whirls that gyrate like spinning tops, tracing out paths in a clockwise or counter-clockwise manner in nanometer-thick materials. Under certain conditions, this sense of gyration can flip repeatedly, resulting in complex patterns of behavior. Now, a team of physicists in France, led by Joo-Von Kim, CNRS ...Phys.org: 2020-02-05
