Heart-on-a-chip Manufactured More Efficiently to Speed Up Drug Testing
Testing new clinical drugs' effect on heart tissue could become quicker and more straightforward, thanks to new research from Harvard University.
The study, sets out a new, faster method for manufacturing a 'heart-on-a-chip', which can be used to test the reaction of heart tissue to external stimuli.

Raman Spectroscopy Aids Advancement of Spintronic Devices
Researchers used an unconventional approach, employing Raman spectroscopy with an ultraviolet laser instead of conventional visible light lasers, to improve understanding of nickel oxide crystals. This work could have important implications for development of spintronic devices for memory storage and information processing.

MEG Used to Measure Infant Brain Responses to Touch
Researchers provide one of the first looks inside the infant’s brain to show where the sense of touch is processed — not just when a baby feels a touch to the hand or foot, but when the baby sees an adult’s hand or foot being touched, as well.
