Moore´s law meets the life sciences

The ability to perform DNA analysis, clinical diagnostics, and biomolecule detection and manipulation using miniaturized devices has many practical applications. This issue examines such devices, their functionality and applications, and the design and test technology challenges involved in developing them. This issue also features a roundtable on design and CAD challenges for leading-edge multimedia designs, and a eulogy by Aart de Geus paying tribute to the late A. Richard Newton.
