Microfluidics is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles from physics, chemistry, and engineering to create devices that can process and analyze minuscule volumes of liquids. Often, ...

A fabrication process can produce self-heating microfluidic devices in one step using a multimaterial 3D printer. These devices, which can be made rapidly and cheaply in large numbers, could help ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (µPADs) are a type of technology used for fluid analysis that leverage the properties of paper and microfluidic channels. The main ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Researchers in biomedical, environmental testing, geology, manufacturing and other fields could benefit from a patent-pending Purdue University innovation that fabricates ...

Aerosol jet printing process for surface acoustic wave (SAW) microfluidic devices. a Schematic of the fabrication process and mechanism of the aerosol jet-printed SAW microfluidic devices.

As electronic devices become increasingly powerful and compact, they can generate denser heat fluxes, or in other words, produce more heat in a smaller area. These heat fluxes raise the temperature of ...

Microplastics (MPs), plastic debris smaller than 5 mm, indirectly harm the environment. They are traditionally collected and removed from water by filtering through meshes, which is inefficient.

A research group has developed a technology for mass-producing uniform artificial cells (lipid bilayer vesicles) with artificial model nuclei using microfluidic devices with high reproducibility. They ...
