New scientific methods could one day render animal studies—the standard in research laboratories for more than 100 years—obsolete. Clive Svendsen, Ph.D., executive director of the Board of Governors ...

Women remain underrepresented across the STEM research and innovation ecosystems that underpin lab-on-a-chip (LOC) technologies. As UNESCO reports women ...

The ability to perform laboratory operations on small scales using miniaturized (lab-on-a-chip) devices has many benefits. Designing and fabricating such systems is extremely challenging, but ...

Flight cuts to hit 40 busiest U.S. airports due to government shutdown, computer chips in our bodies could be the future of medicine, and more Length: Long Speed: 1.0x It's been a long time since ...

The chip that works this optical magic is not much to see. Under a powerful microscope attached to a computer at the Science headquarters, it resembles an oversize circuit board. To the naked eye, it ...

To better understand our cells and extracellular matrix—the 3D scaffolding that surrounds our cells—scientists apply different mechanical forces to simulate these microenvironments. A new study uses ...

FDA issued guidance on April 10, 2025 to phase out animal trials in favor of organoids and organ-on-a-chip systems. This pivotal move was swiftly followed by National Institutes of Health (NIH) on ...

Creating a drug that might help treat or cure a health condition in humans is a long, complex process. After developing a candidate drug that shows potential—a process that, in and of itself, can take ...

In this system, the implanted computer chip would not just sit on the brain, but become part of the brain. Using a technology Hodak calls the biohybrid model, the chip would be seeded with stem cells ...
