Latest Lab On A Chip News

After putting Broadcom on notice last week that it was concerned that the proposed $61 billion Broadcom-VMware deal could adversely affect competition in the server market, the U.K. Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) announced today that it was proceeding with an in-depth investigation that could take up to six months. “The...

The combination of microfluidic technology and optical fluids characterization techniques has been recently applied to produce lab-on-a-chip systems. In the present work, bringing together the imaging technique called photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and microfluidic technology were implemented to obtain micro-scale imaging. Laser-induced ultrasound signals were measured from microdroplets produced in a...

Tiny pieces of plastic are everywhere. They’re in the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat. By one estimate, some people ingest around a credit card’s worth of plastic every week. Microplastics have been found in human blood, placentas, and feces. But we don’t fully...

Nvidia and Quantum Machines, the Israeli startup offering an orchestration platform to controlling and operating quantum processors, today announced the launch of Nvidia DGX Quantum, which combines Nvidia’s Grace Hopper Superchip with Quantum Machines’ controller. Over the course of the last few years, it’s become increasingly clear that to effectively...

In partnership with Google, Nvidia today launched a new cloud hardware offering, the L4 platform, optimized to run video-focused applications. Available in private preview on Google Cloud through Google’s G2 virtual machines, Nvidia says that the L4 platform is designed to accelerate “AI-powered” video performance. Serving as a general-purpose GPU,...
