Semiconductor technology is resulting in more sophisticated devices with higher degrees of integrated functionality. As a consequence there are a multitude of different parameters that now need to be tested, with every stage in the overall development and production process requiring the use of distinct pieces of instrumentation. Microlease has responded by introducing its Semiconductor Tool Box.

Sony’s PlayStation VR has set a new bar for mass-market appeal of virtual reality, and is lighter and more attractive than competitors such as the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive.At $400, the PlayStation VR is not cheap. But it’s still less expensive than its competitors and doesn’t require a high-end computer to work if you already have a PlayStation 4.

Richard Fleischner, who directed the 1966 cult film Fantastic Voyage, would have been delighted with Bradley Nelson’s research: similar to the story in Fleischner’s film, Nelson wants to load tiny robots with drugs and manoeuvre them to the precise location in the human body where treatment is needed, for instance to the site of a cancer tumour. Alternatively, the tiny creatures could also be fitted with instruments, allowing operatio...

Researchers in Singapore have developed a protein that can alter DNA in living cells with much higher precision than current methods.The ability to alter DNA accurately will open more doors in the development of personalised medicine that could help to tackle human diseases that currently have few treatment options. Examples of diseases that have unmet therapeutic needs include neurodegenerative diseases like Huntington's disease, muscular dystro...
