We'd never considered a career in biochemistry until we saw this wild beast of a chemical microprocessor. Microfluidic chips, used to test chemical reactions and properties, have been known to be smaller, but they've never before been quite this powerful. The result of a joint study between California State University, UCLA and China's Wuhan University, the "integrated microfluidic device" is capable of performing 1,024 in situ chemical reactions at a time, making the researcher's life, oh, about 1,024 times easier. Most importantly though, costly enzymes previously used for a single test can now be split up into hundreds and tested simultaneously, which should pave the way for exponentially faster and easier medical research. It's not clear when these will be widely available, but we're sure PhDs around the world are trying to order one as we speak.[Via medGadget]

Graphic cards have gotten more and more complex in recent years, and these tend to let out a whole lot of heat as well. Thermaltake has a solution to that problem with its DuOrb AX VGA cooler that brings a couple of 80mm fans to fight the heat, boasting a maximum airflow of of 23.8 CFM at 2500 RPM when connected to an aluminum heatsink with a copper base and a couple of 6mm heatpipes. There is no word on pricing, but it ought to arrive in store shelves within two weeks’ time. The DuOrb AX VGA cooler is compatible with the following video cards :-

• NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT
• NVIDIA 8800 GTX/GTS/GT
• NVIDIA 8600 GTS/GT
• NVIDIA 7900 GTX/GT/GS
• NVIDIA 7800 GTX/GT/GS
• NVIDIA 7600 GT/GS
• NVIDIA 6800 GT/GS
• AMD/ATI Radeon HD 3870
• AMD/ATI Radeon HD 3850
• AMD/ATI Radeon X1950 PRO/XTX/XT
