Chemical engineering

MIT researchers have developed a microchip that releases chemicals on demand. Left to right: Professor Michael Cima, graduate student John Santini and Professor Robert Langer stand in the Microsystems Technology Laboratory where the chip was fabricated. Mr. Santini holds a silicon wafer containing 21 of the dime-sized chips.

Microchip stores, releases chemicals for many uses

Front (left) and back views of a new microchip for the controlled release of chemicals. The dots between the three large bars (cathodes) on the front are the caps (anodes) covering the reservoirs that hold chemicals. An electrical voltage applied between a reservoir cap and a cathode causes a reaction that dissolves the cap, releasing the chemical. The back view shows the larger openings for each ...
