Stanford University School of Medicine has developed a way to produce a cheap and reusable diagnostic “lab on a chip” with the help of an inkjet printer. At a cost of as little as 1 cent per chip, the new technology could usher in a medical diagnostics revolution like the kind brought on by low-cost genome sequencing. The inexpensive lab-on-a-chip technology has the potential to enhance diagnostic capabilities around the world, especially in developing countries...

Ultra-low-cost, easy to fabricate ‘lasing capsules’ with an inkjet printer. Since lasers were invented more than 50 years ago, they have transformed a diverse swath of technology – from CD players to surgical instruments. Now researchers from France and Hungary have invented a way to print lasers that’s so cheap, easy and efficient they believe the core of the laser could be disposed of after each use.
“The low-cost and easiness of laser chip fabrication are the most significant aspects...
