Tiny magnetized robots become “warehouse” workers for biotech research

Posted on by

Scientists working with microfluids as part of biotechnology research often rely on large, clunky machines to manage the samples, but this tinkering could one day be handled by tiny robots that make the process far more efficient. Engineers at the Univ… Continue reading Tiny magnetized robots become “warehouse” workers for biotech research→

Ceramic Aerogel Meets Stretch Goals

Posted on by

Aerogels have changed how a lot of high tech equipment is insulated. Resembling frozen smoke, the gel is lightweight and has extremely low thermal conductivity. However there’s always a downside, traditional aerogel material is brittle. Any attempt to compress it beyond 20% of its original size will change the material. …read more
