1. MIT designs portable 'lab on a chip'
   10-17-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Testing soldiers to see if they have been exposed to biological or chemical weapons could soon be much faster and easier, thanks to MIT researchers who are helping to develop a tiny diagnostic device that could be carried into battle. By tweaking the design of a tiny pump, the researchers have taken a major step towards making an existing "lab on a chip" fully portable, so the device can perform chemical experiments in any setting.
