In 2002 an array of 100 electrodes was implanted directly into the median nerve fibers of the scientist Kevin Warwick. The recorded signals were used to control a robot arm developed by Warwick's c...
Red blood cells (RBCs), also called erythrocytes, are the most common type of blood cell and the vertebrate organism's principal means of delivering oxygen (O2) to the body tissues--via blood flow ...
Sequencing double-stranded nucleic acids
An implant is a medical device manufactured to replace a missing biological structure, support a damaged biological structure, or enhance an existing biological structure. Medical implants are man-...

GaN single crystal films
An electrolarynx, sometimes referred to as a "throat back", is a medical device about the size of a small electric razor used to produce clearer speech by those who have lost their voicebox, usuall...
The N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (also known as the NMDA receptor or NMDAR), a glutamate receptor, is the predominant molecular device for controlling synaptic plasticity and memory function.[2] ...

Quantification of gene expression
Vascular disease is a form of cardiovascular disease primarily affecting the blood vessels. Some conditions, such as angina and myocardial ischemia, can be considered both vascular diseases and ...
Semiconductor devices are electronic components that exploit the electronic properties of semiconductor materials, principally silicon, germanium, and gallium arsenide, as well as organic semicondu...
Micromachined mirror scanning
A spatial light modulator (SLM) is an object that imposes some form of spatially varying modulation on a beam of light. A simple example is an overhead projector transparency. Usually when the phas...
Crystals of the MarR protein
Micro valves determine the flow direction or the mode of movement of pumped liquids. Often processes which are normally carried out in a lab are miniaturized on a single chip in order to enhance e...
Autoimmune disease diagnosis
In general, viral infections are systemic. This means they involve many different parts of the body or more than one body system at the same time; i.e. a runny nose, sinus congestion, cough, body a...
