Global microfluidics map
I’ve continued adding to the list of microfluidics/lab-on-a-chip companies and wanted to get a sense of where these efforts are located (similar to the Nanotechnology Map). To do this, I’ve created a Google Map to help visualize commercial microfluidics activity worldwide:
No Small Matter: Science on the Nanoscale from Felice Frankel and George Whitesides
The multi-talented George Whitesides has once again teamed up with scientific photographer Felice Frankel to lead us on a tour of the nanoworld through their latest book, No Small Matter: Science on the Nanoscale. From the publisher, Harvard University Press:
A small revolution is remaking the world. The only problem is, we can’t see it. This [...]
BioMEMS by any other name
In researching microfluidics companies to add to the list, I’ve realized that outside of academia almost no one uses the term BioMEMS when discussing microelectromechanical systems applied to biology. Instead it’s “microfluidics” or “lab on a chip.” The term BioMEMS is a spin-off of the acronym MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems), itself a term that has not [...]
Joel Voldman on microfluidic manipulation of cells and their environment
Recently I ran across a video of my former advisor at MIT, Joel Voldman, speaking as part of the 2008 CIMIT Summer Education Series: Frontiers of Microfluidics and Microsystems in Biomedical Sciences and Clinical Medicine. In the video below (and available directly from CIMIT here), Joel highlights his group’s work using microfluidic technology and [...]
