DESCRIPTION:Microfluidics is the science and technology of manipulating min
 iscule volumes of fluids. It is a burgeoning field of research and develop
 ment with applications to drug discovery\, nano-synthesis\, biomedicine\, 
 and cell biology. Micromachining of silicon combined with hermetic glass b
 onding enables the precise\, batch fabrication of robust 3D microstructure
 s that\, while often resembling macroscopic devices which inspired their d
 esign\, exhibit capabilities which are enhanced or uniquely enabled by mic
 roscopic dimensions. Several examples will be presented\, followed by a di
 scussion of cost/performance challenges and competing manufacturing method
 s and materials.\n\nSpeaker(s): \, Professor Rosemary Smith\n\nRoom: 344\,
