Microengineering and nanotechnology
Description
This edition of Science Screen Report shows how the principles of microengineering and nanotechnology are being applied to environmental science, medicine, and engineering. A complete water-testing laboratory on a single microchip is spotlighted, as are grooved bandages that channel the movement and bonding of fibroblasts, speeding up healing and minimizing scarring. Research into the manipulation of individual atoms, the use of microscopic beads as medicinal magic bullets, and the identification of stress cracks caused by resonance is also featured.
