Microfluidic technologies are rapidly becoming the method of choice for micro- and nanoparticle production across a number of sectors, from cell biology research to drug development. This approach offers a number of advantages over traditional batch methods, including precise process control, enhanced reliability, and the ability to easily scale up production.

A Kaust (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology) startup has introduced the Azure Robotics project which makes use of artificial intelligence, machine learning and robotics to offer an effective disinfection process for large-surface areas.

Within the framework of a partnership, Boehringer Ingelheim will make use of Google’s resources in the field of quantum computing. The pharmaceutical company is the first in its industry to team up with Google in this field.

The Shadow Robot Dexterous Hand is a robot hand, with size, shape and movement capabilities similar to those of a human hand. To give the robotic hand the ability to learn how to manipulate objects researchers from WMG, University of Warwick, have developed new AI algorithms.

A team of researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed an innovative sensor called Tactile Resistive Annularly Cracked E-Skin (Trace) which can be used in wearable health technology devices or in robotics to recognise surface texture.

Modern vehicles can no longer be imagined without them: assistance systems that support the driver. In this article, you can find out how assistance systems for analytical devices can help users in the laboratory with their work.

A new technique developed by researchers at the University of Warwick uses the latest findings of Artificial Intelligence to detect hypoglycaemic events from raw ECG signals, via wearable sensors.

NTU Singapore and Germany’s Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces (MPICI) have launched a joint lab to conduct research in artificial senses and develop innovative robotics and healthcare solutions.

Remarkable recent developments in high-throughput research techniques allow scientists to collect more data than ever before. However, this presents significant challenges in terms of data storage, management and analysis. Cloud-based informatics platforms offer a potential solution, bringing together all aspects of laboratory management into a flexible and scalable system, designed to support future technologies as they become available.

Chemical reactions and molecular modifications change the genome of every human over the course of their lifetime. These modifications can result in disease, but they also provide a basis for determining a person's biological age. Fraunhofer scientists participating in the project “Drug Target” have developed a method that can quickly check the condition of the genome.
