A paper in Wednesday’s issue of the journal Lab on a Chip, explains how the team at MIT used what they refer to as “interlocking injection-molded blocks” — again, seriously, it’s bricks — to build a ...

MIT engineers have just introduced an element of fun into microfluidics. The field of microfluidics involves minute devices that precisely manipulate fluids at submillimeter scales. Such devices ...

The MIT Media Lab is using innovation to boil efficient teamwork down to a science. With an enhanced ability to communicate across teams, MIT is creating a workplace that shares ideas in unprecedented ...

When it comes to microfluidics, precision is everything. Researchers in this field—which analyzes the behavior and control of tiny amounts of fluids— can use a miniscule, flat chip etched with ...
