Sampling now, micro pressure sensors are the first in a series of the world’s most highly integrated microfluidic devices, based on Xidas’s 3D heterogeneous integration platform.
LOS ANGELES, May 10, 2022--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Xidas, a development stage tech company offering the world’s most highly integrated microfluidics solutions, has begun shipping evaluation prototypes of its smart, microfluidic in-line pressure sensor with near-zero dead volume. Intended for in-line monitoring of ultra-small volumes of fluid, Xidas’s "Pascal" family of sensors are low voltage and fully digital, feature on-board computing, and enable true in-line fluid sensing with less than 0.1 microliters of dead volume. Xidas’s small volume sensors have applications in wearable drug delivery products, portable diagnostics devices, in-line process monitors, miniature catheters, and high throughput biological systems.
Mark Bachman, CEO of Xidas commented, "We are proud of this achievement: a useful, practical, highly integrated microfluidic sensor that can accurately measure the pressure in a single drop of blood. This is the first of many upcoming integrated microfluidic innovations from Xidas that will enable leading companies worldwide to miniaturize their fluidic systems. Xidas will provide all the major building blocks of a miniaturized fluid system, as well as offer stand-alone high-value products that leverage our integrated microfluidics technology. We are currently developing microfluidic products for medical, biotech, industrial and consumer applications. We intend for Xidas to lead the next generation of advanced, pervasive ultra-miniature solutions."
Xidas uses a unique microfluidics system-in-package approach to creating integrated microfluidic products, leveraging Xidas’s patented 3D heterogeneous integration platform called "Amalga".
Amalga integrates high-end electronics, computing, sensing, even actuators, with microfluidics in a single package. The final packaged products work like conventional electronics and require minimal support electronics, while enabling the manipulation, control, and monitoring of small volumes of fluid.
A spinout from the University of California Irvine, Xidas is a portfolio company of Kairos Venture Capital, which specializes in seeding and growing startups that have high impact physical science technology. Jim Demetriades, CEO of Kairos Venture Capital commented, "This is a significant milestone for this young company, and provides a glimpse of the disruptive nature of their technology and vision. Kairos is proud to support Xidas in its efforts to revolutionize the world of microfluidics."

China's Zhejiang Geely Holding Group conducted its first successful satellite launch on Wednesday, sending nine into low earth orbit as it builds out a satellite network to provide more accurate navigation for autonomous vehicles. The self-designed and manufactured GeeSAT-1 satellites, were launched from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in the southwestern province of Sichuan. Geely said it expects another 63 to be in orbit by 2025 and eventually plans to have a constellation of 240.
Astronomers have used a cloud-based technique pioneered at the University of Washington to identify and track asteroids in bunches of a hundred or more. Their achievement could dramatically accelerate the quest to find potentially threatening space rocks. The technique makes use of an open-source analysis platform known as Asteroid Discovery Analysis and Mapping, or ADAM; plus a recently developed algorithm called Tracklet-less Heliocentric Orbit Recovery, or THOR. The THOR algorithm was created
The legends of the Amazon rainforest have circulated for centuries. Now, though, scientists have finally discovered proof that these massive urban centers actually existed. Researchers published a new study in the journal Nature detailing lidar imaging of the Amazon. Within the forest’s deep, thick regions, they discovered evidence of the lost cities of the Amazon. … The post Lost cities of the Amazon have finally been uncovered appeared first on BGR.
Golden Shield Resources Inc. (CSE: GSRI) (FRA: 4LE0) (the "Company" or "Golden Shield") is pleased to announce assay results from the initial seven holes of the Company's eleven hole, 3,100 metre Phase 2 drill program at the Company's flagship, 5,457-hectare, Marudi Mountain gold project located in the Rupununi District of southwestern Guyana. Drilling targeted the previously identified Mazoa Hill prospect. Results from the remaining four holes are pending.

In addition, Libero Copper has completed the interpretation of the detailed airborne magnetic and radiometric survey data over the Terry porphyry Cu-Au discovery area. Processing of the radiome
Bigger than a double-decker bus and weighing 50 tons, the megalodon was one of the most fearsome oceanic predators ever known. Yet its extinction 3.6 million years ago may have been brought about by a much smaller leviathan of the deep.
For years, women have gathered in workplace bathrooms, around watercoolers or the coffee machine to share stories and bond about a common office complaint: the air conditioning is cranked up too high. A study published several years ago confirmed what many women have always known: The temperature isn't just too low -- women's productivity tends to decline when the workplace air becomes downright frigid. Dr. Agne Kajackaite is a behavioral economist at the WZB Berlin Social Science Center in Germ
