A new biochip technology could eliminate animal testing in the chemicals and cosmetics industries, and drastically curtail its use in the development of new pharmaceuticals, according to new findings.

Researchers at the University of Notre Dame have developed a novel, automated device capable of diagnosing glioblastoma, a fast-growing and incurable brain cancer, in less than an hour. The average ...

Imagine a smart chip that’s able to heal injuries by reprogramming skin cells when pressed onto a part of the body and given a quick jolt of electricity. It might sound like science fiction, but it’s ...

A new biochip sensor that uses dye chemistry and plasmonic interferometry to selectively measure concentrations of glucose in a complex solution similar to human saliva. The advance is an important ...

febit's microfluidic microarray technology offers a promising approach for diagnostic testing based on automated microRNA (miRNA) biomarker profiling. The Geniom RT Analyzer makes it possible to ...

Some years ago I wrote a book entitled ``Red Sky.'' In it I foretold that some day Americans would be inoculated with a grain-of-wheat sized implant called a biochip. Progression would be from pets ...
