Dr. Jayne Wu, assistant professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Tennessee, is developing novel technologies to test particles, including proteins, bacteria, viruses, and cells, within tiny amounts of fluid. These technologies may ultimately be used for on-the-spot detection of infectious disease or pathogens used as agents of bioterrorism.
By Paul Errico, Analog Devices, Inc. Semiconductor research and development in the late 20th century was driven by the computing and communications applications such as, PCs, handsets and consumer applications, such as video games and high-definition televisions.Now, in the 21st century, it is increasingly influenced by the demand for integrated circuits (ICs) that make possible the next...
