Microfluidics Technique for Enhanced Particle Sorting

This paper describes a simple, pump-free microfluidics technique for separating and sorting different sized particles in colloidal mixtures. The technique has demonstrated enhanced sorting capability of 3 types of micro-sized particles, showing promise as an alternative approach to separate cells, proteins and/or nucleic acids in biological fluids relevant to disease diagnostics and drug discovery.

 
 
Cost-Friendly Pressure Sensor for Harsh Environments
Pressure sensors based on SiC can operate at high temperature but are expensive to fabricate. This paper describes a pressure sensor based on novel comb-like structure electrodes designed on top of an AlN layer. The sensor has demonstrated consistent and linear pressure sensing behaviour up to 300oC, showing exceptional promise as a reliable, affordable and compact sensing solution for harsh environments.
