🔬 Microfluidics is revolutionizing the way we conduct analysis in the lab by offering the advantages of miniaturization and the ability to probe biomolecules and cells at a scale not achievable with traditional methods. 💰 Cost-effective and eco-friendly analysis is possible through microfluidics, thanks to reduced sample and reagent consumption, rapid mixing and heat transfer, and laminar flow techniques. 🌟 The future of microfluidics looks promising, with even more miniaturized, sophisticated, and user-friendly devices on the horizon. This will provide scientists with new tools and techniques that can impact fields like healthcare, environmental monitoring, space exploration, and the blue economy. 🌐 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/g9-rFpyE #ResearchRevolution #MicrofluidicInnovation #FutureTech #Innovation #ScientificAdvancements #CostEffectiveAnalysis #EcoFriendlyLab #MicrofluidicAdvantages #Microfluidics #LabOnAChip #BiomoleculeAnalysis #ALineInc #ALine #MicrofluidicTechnology #MicrofluidicDevices

New “Better Than Graphene” Material Could Transform Implantable Technology. Researchers at Penn State have developed a method to impart chirality on borophene, making it potentially useful for advanced sensors and implantable medical devices. This groundbreaking study is the first to explore the biological interactions of borophene. Chirality allows borophene to interact uniquely with cells and proteins, leading to potential applications in medical imaging and drug delivery. The study’s findings could inform future developments in health care, sustainable energy, and more - https://lnkd.in/gZdhgv5w

Researchers from imec and OnePlanet Research Center recently published a simulation study of real-life electrodermal activity to determine the best method for handling low-quality electrodermal activity segments. Electrodermal activity or skin conductivity is related to changes in sweat secretion caused by arousal, thus indicating one’s emotional state. By capturing daily-life measurements, we can trace stress levels and strive towards delivering timely interventions to alleviate or prevent stress.

📣 Technology development within IMAGINE aims at achieving robust, correlative and high-throughput technologies that can be handed over to the research infrastructure partners for validation as new and often integrated services. Through WP7 to 11, IMAGINE will carry out the validation and service integration. 📋 WP7 (Bioimaging technologies validation for service readiness) aims at validating the new tools, instruments and methods developed in WP1-6 to user access readiness for newly developed technologies at Euro-BioImaging Nodes. It will emphasize correlative workflows, including for example combining intravital and X-ray imaging, as well as Light Microscopy (LM) and Electron Microscopy (EM). 🤝 The work package is led by Euro-BioImaging. Additional partners include Instruct ERIC, and EMBRC - European Marine Biological Resource Centre ERIC. 🌐 Read more about IMAGINE's validation and service integration here: https://lnkd.in/e2ai-Yyb

We would like to invite you to the talk "Going Beyond RF: Nano Communication for Life Sciences" by prof. Falko Dressler. The talk will take place at the Workshop Nanotechnologies for Healthcare: Bridging research across Life Sciences and Engineering. Abstract: Conventional wireless communication is based on electromagnetic waves. Even though perfectly suited for classic telecommunication networks, communicating nodes on a nano or micro scale and operating in challenging environments such as liquids need to rely on different communication paradigms and technologies. Examples range from communicating nanobots patrolling through the human body for medical purposes to air-based molecular communication. Such nano communication channels are considered to be based on traveling molecules, which can be composed of magnetizable elements, biochemical molecules, and other markers that can be detected using biological, chemical, or physical processes. Molecular communication has the potential to complement classic radio-based telecommunication networks and, eventually, even become an integral part of 6G solutions. In this talk, we focus on modeling molecular communication channels for getting new insights in next generation targeted medicine applications.

New “Better Than Graphene” Material Could Transform Implantable Technology Researchers tweaked borophene to interact with cells and other biological units in unique ways. Move over, graphene. There’s a new, improved two-dimensional material in the lab. Borophene, the atomically thin version of boron first synthesized in 2015, is more conductive, thinner, lighter, stronger, and more flexible than graphene, the 2D version of carbon. Now, researchers at Penn State have made the material potentially more useful by imparting chirality — or handedness — on it, which could make for advanced sensors and implantable medical devices. The chirality, induced via a method never before used on borophene, enables the material to interact in unique ways with different biological units such as cells and protein precursors.
