Teaching Jell-O Microfluidics

by Brandon Miller in Biomicrofluidics

One of the tastiest things I can think of is Jell-O—and just in time to celebrate the Second Annual Jell-O Mold Competition, comes a bit of research from the ACS journal, Analytical Chemistry. The article, "Using Inexpensive Jell-O Chips for...... Read more »

Magnification through Fluids

by Brandon Miller in Biomicrofluidics

Have you ever found yourself staring into a half-filled cup of water at a straw--wondering what kind of kooky laws light obeys that can result in this shattered view? Maybe not, but I bet Xiquan Cui and colleagues at...... Read more »

Physical chemists and chemical physicists: we can just get along

by Brandon Miller in Biomicrofluidics

Dr. Chad Orzel, a physics professor and blogger on ScienceBlogs.com, recently posted an interesting post, Dorky Poll: Non-Abelian Sciences, wherein Orzel pondered the difference between physical chemistry and chemical physics. Of course the standard reply: "If you publish in the...... Read more »

Heat-Based DNA Sequencing and Dual Discoveries

by Brandon Miller in Biomicrofluidics

Lots of neat-o scientific discoveries were stumbled on by two or more people at about the same time. Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz both invented calculus. The first patent for an integrated circuit was given to Robert Noyce...... Read more »
