Book Review of Synthetic Biology: A Lab Manual

A ppropriately, this book opens with a discussion over the struggle to define synthetic biology. The field itself is not represented by a single breakthrough but is rather a culmination of approaches and knowledge that have made the engineering and design of biological systems more tractable. As they highlight, the ideas are not new, yet the standardization of parts and techniques make this eng...

Microsurgical Devices by Pop-up Book Mems

The small scale of microsurgery poses significant challenges for developing robust and dexterous tools to grip, cut, and join sub-millimeter structures such as vessels and nerves. The main limitation is that traditional manufacturing techniques are not optimized to create smart, articulating structures in the 0.1 – 10 mm scale. Pop-up book MEMS is a new fabrication technology that promises to o...
