Acknowledging that lecture-based teaching methods are insufficient at promoting significant conceptual gains for students in the introductory college science course is only the first step toward increasing students' understanding. Researchers at the Center for Astronomy Education (CAE) at the University of Arizona have been developing and evaluating the effectiveness of learner-centered instructional materials that put students in an active role in the classroom.

Integrated spintronic biochip platforms are being developed for portable, point-of-care diagnostic applications. The platforms consist of a microfluidic unit where the bioassay takes place, an arraying and detector chip consisting of target arraying current lines and integrated magnetoresistive sensors, and electronic control and readout boards. Probe biomolecules are immobilized by microspotting over sensor sites, and target biomolecules, labeled with magnetic nanoparticles are arrayed over the probe sites ( magnetically assisted hybridization).
