Thinking small: Texas AM team creates lab-on-a-chip

Imagine an entire chemistry laboratory reduced to the size of a postage stamp. It could happen. While others may think big, Texas AM University physicists Don Naugle and co-worker Igor Lyuksyutov are thinking small - as in micro small. They have successfully managed to levitate micron-sized fluids using magnets, which could lead to new advances in medicine, chemistry, chemical engineering and other related fields.
