Looking at some anecdotal stories as well as some reasonably valid survey data, it seems that STEM-related subjects are getting serious interest from students at all age levels; STEM stands for ...

Synthetic biology experiments suggest a “MultiFate” model for how genetically identical cells become the many different types found in complex organisms like us. The human body contains more than 200 ...

Building simple circuits with copper tape, LED bulbs, resistors, and watch batteries is not as simple as you might think. Notre Dame Elementary School STEM students are putting the engineering design ...

With so much analog-circuit design being done by automated tools and circuit-performance analysis done with tools such as Spice, it may seem anachronistic to actually go through a basic circuit in ...

Until now, molecular-level DNA circuits have mainly been used for simple tasks, such as detecting the presence of ...

This animation shows how pairs of dangling bonds can serve as atom-sized binary bits in digital circuits. Credit: Robert Wolkow/U. Alberta In the ongoing drive to make circuitry ever smaller and more ...

Using simple components such as oil, salt water, lipids and proteins, plus routine genetic engineering techniques, it is possible to create simple nanofluidic ...

Complex brain circuits in rodents can organize themselves with genetics playing only a secondary role, according to a new computer modelling study published today in eLife. The findings help answer a ...

Team discovers fast, simple way to create two-dimensional electronic circuits that could potentially lead to a new generation of electronic devices. When Northwestern Engineering's Erik Luijten met ...

Molded interconnect devices (MIDs), or circuits applied to a 3D plastic carrier, might seem like a good idea. By eliminating printed circuit boards and related components, a MID can shave space, cost, ...
