NIST chip produces and detects specialized gas for biomedical analysis
Washington DC (SPX) May 23, 2014 - A chip-scale device that both produces and detects a specialized gas used in biomedical analysis and medical imaging has been built and demonstrated at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Described in Nature Communications,* the new microfluidic chip produces polarized (or magnetized) xenon gas and then detects even the faintest magnetic signals from the gas. Polariz ... more
