Lab on a chip promises advanced diagnostics

Diagnostics often involves testing blood or other biological samples to see if they contain molecules indicating the presence of a particular disease or disorder. Typically, doctors send the samples to a laboratory and wait several days or more for the results. Now, however, researchers with the European Union-funded NEMOSLAB (Nano-Engineered Monolithic Optoelectronic Transducers for Highly Sensitive and Label-Free Biosensing) project have reported a portable lab on a chip that can identify target molecules in samples. They note that, in some cases, patients even could perform the tests at...Read full article

    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
    waveguide
    A waveguide is a physical structure or device that is designed to confine and guide electromagnetic waves, such as radio waves, microwaves, or light waves. It is commonly used in communication systems, radar systems, and other applications where the controlled transmission of electromagnetic waves is crucial. The basic function of a waveguide is to provide a path for the propagation of electromagnetic waves while minimizing the loss of energy. Waveguides come in various shapes and sizes, and...
