His excellent oversight on this 2-volume masterwork’s 600 pages captures the cross-disciplinary breadth of micro- and nanofluidics, with expert contributions from more than two dozen esteemed researchers across biological sciences, chemistry, physics and engineering.
Oregon State Team Uses Magnetic Nanobeads for Portable 'Instant' SensorsA team at Oregon State University is using magnetic nanobeads to assemble a microfluidic sensor to boost potency and speed of portable sensors for detecting chemical and biological agents.
MIT, Harvard Team on Microfluidics Device To Detect Single Cancer CellsResearchers at Harvard and MIT have designed and built a sensitive new microfluidic device to detect single cancer cells in a blood sample. The work, based on carbon nanotubes, could better allow doctors to quickly determine the spread of cancers, HIV and other viruses.
