In the recent studies with engineers from India and Japan, they have developed a new hypodermic microneedle that is completely painless. The design is based on nature’s grotesque horror, the female mosquito, is the unique micro-electro-mechanical based suction system. This system uses an intermittent sucking motion to draw up blood, which is how most god-awful [...]

I am not that sure enough that this newly designed pipette adds any more grandeur to the institution where it is coming from, the University of Cambridge. However, it does seem to offer a more convenient way for those in labs to go though routines. Mmmm, hopefully this will help ease the works in the [...]

The Warwick University researchers, using “wavelet” computer image analysis technology, developed a method to identify the exact subtype of meningioma, a common brain and nervous system cancer that exhibits different mutations. From Warwick University:  A wavelet filter is a computing tool that could be thought of as acting like a virtual microscope to analyse signals [...]
