The manipulation of fluids in channels with dimensions of tens of micrometres—microfluidics—
has emerged as a distinct new field. Microfluidics has the potential to influence subject areas …

Droplet-based microfluidic systems have been shown to be compatible with many chemical
and biological reagents and capable of performing a variety of “digital fluidic” operations that …

This article describes the process of formation of droplets and bubbles in microfluidic T-
junction geometries. At low capillary numbers break-up is not dominated by shear stresses …

Electrowetting has become one of the most widely used tools for manipulating tiny amounts
of liquids on surfaces. Applications range from'lab-on-a-chip'devices to adjustable lenses …

Digital Polymerase Chain Reaction (dPCR) is a novel method for the absolute quantification
of target nucleic acids. Quantification by dPCR hinges on the fact that the random …

Jets, ie collimated streams of matter, occur from the microscale up to the large-scale
structure of the universe. Our focus will be mostly on surface tension effects, which result …

Miniaturization can expand the capability of existing bioassays, separation technologies and
chemical synthesis techniques. Although a reduction in size to the micrometre scale will …
