The expected R2R microelectronics manufacturing will be key to critical next-generation applications in areas such as medical diagnost...Smart lights, nonstick implants and 100th birthday of electronics at science & technology meeting
...over the last 25 years, the vacuum tube and modern microelectronics have merged. These technologies have been combined for specialized devices termed "vacuum microelectronics," which combine the attributes of both technologies: the ease of control of an electron beam in vacuum with the miniaturization and mass-produ...Microneedles: Report describes progress in new technology for painless drug delivery
... etching technologies originally developed for the microelectronics industry. The researchers produced arrays of up to 400 needles designed to punch holes in the outer layer of skin to increase its permeability to small molecules applied with patches. That work has broadened to include both solid and hollow micronee...For markets of the future, success depends on advanced materials
...ons, and absorbents to include areas as diverse as microelectronics and medical diagnosis. Scientists are on the verge of achieving a breakthrough with versatile materials such as inorganic nanoparticle/polymer matrix composites, which combine the advantages of different materials to achieve a much-desired multifunct...First protein 'biochips' may deliver improved detection, diagnosis
...ng with graduate student Rafael Gomez, in Purdue's microelectronics fabrication facilities. Then, working with Ladisch and his graduate students, the group successfully attached the protein avidin to the chip. Avidin binds to a vitamin called biotin, and fluorescently labeled biotin molecules did attach to the avidin......Researchers say the device can even be fitted with microelectronics to control the time and dosage of medicine delivered. The researchers believe the device may be especially useful for delivering large molecules such as insulin. A prototype device containing insulin significantly reduced glucose levels in preclinica...Semiconductor Plants May Be A Danger To The Health Of Employees
