Article Abstract
The development of passively driven microfluidic labs on chips has been increasing over the years. In the passive approach, the microfluids are usually driven and operated without any external actuators, fields, or power sources. Passive microfluidic techniques adopt osmosis, capillary action, surface tension, pressure, gravity-driven flow, hydrostatic flow, and vacuums to achieve fluid flow. There is a great need to explore labs on chips that are rapid, compact, portable, and easy to use. The evolution of these techniques is essential to meet current needs. Researchers have highlighted the vast potential in the field that needs to be explored to develop rapid passive labs on chips to suit market/researcher demands. A comprehensive review, along with patent analysis, is presented here, listing the latest advances in passive microfluidic techniques, along with the related mechanisms and applications.

Background: Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is an emerging aging-related risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, previous studies suggest that CHIP's relevance to CVD may diminish with advancing age.
Objectives: This study aimed to test the association of CHIP and its key subtypes with incident CVD in an older population.

Multilayer nanoscale systems incorporating ultrathin tunnel barriers, magnetic materials, amorphous oxides, and promising dielectrics are essential for next-generation logics, memory, quantum, and neuro-inspired computing. Still, an ultrathin film control at the atomic scale remains challenging. Here, we introduce a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor-compatible approach using focused ion beam irradiation for buried ultrathin films' engineering with subangstrom thickness control.

Advancements in computing have progressed from near-sensor to in-sensor computing, culminating in the development of multimodal in-memory computing, which enables faster, energy-efficient data processing by performing computations directly within the memory devices. A bio-inspired multimodal in-memory computing system capable of performing real-time low power processing of multisensory signals, lowering data conversion and transmission across several modules in conventional chips is introduced. A novel Cu/MoWS/VO/Pt based multimodal memristor is characterized by an ON/OFF ratio as high as 10 with consistent and ultralow operating voltages of ±0.

Accurate risk assessment in drug development is crucial, as conventional in vitro and in vivo models often fail to predict human-specific responses. Organs on chips offer a promising alternative, but widespread use of polydimethylsiloxane introduces challenges due to its sorption of small lipophilic molecules, distorting pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data. Cyclic olefin copolymer, a chemically stable alternative with minimal sorption, has emerged as a potential solution.
