A new family of lab-on-a-chip devices based on flexing glass

Brigham Young University researchers have developed new glass technology that could add a new level of flexibility to the microscopic world of medical devices. Led by electrical engineering professor Aaron Hawkins, the researchers have found a way to make the normally brittle material of glass bend and flex. The research opens up the ability to Read more about A new family of lab-on-a-chip devices based on flexing glass[…]

Innovative ultra-thin glass that is thinner than a single human hair
