PORTLAND, Ore. — Bubble memory technology is back—this time in a microfluidic version for logic applications rather than the magnetic approach taken by Texas Instruments in the 1970s. Invented by ...

The Octobot is the first entirely soft, autonomous robot demonstrated by a team of Harvard University researchers. It is made by a combination of embedded 3d printing, molding, and soft lithography.

MIT researchers created a microfluidic device in which tiny bubbles, while undergoing chemical reactions inside, function essentially like electrons in a microprocessor: The team, based at MIT’s ...

Microfluidics technology developed by Advanced Liquid Logic would become part of new diagnostics developed by GenMark Diagnostics (NASDAQ:GNMK) in a preliminary deal that would also give GenMark an ...
