Acoustofluidic technologies utilize acoustic waves to manipulate fluids and particles within
fluids, all in a contact-free and biocompatible manner. Over the past decade, acoustofluidic …

Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are the guided waves that propagate along the top surface
of a material with wave vectors orthogonal to the normal direction to the surface. Based on …

The simple, easy and rapid technique of “drop casting” is widely used to prepare the surface
of chemically modified electrodes in which the modifying layer is composed of particles such …

Acoustic tweezers are a versatile set of tools that use sound waves to manipulate
bioparticles ranging from nanometer-sized extracellular vesicles to millimeter-sized …

Superhydrophobic surfaces are smart surfaces with high water contact angles and low
surface energy. When water droplets rest on superhydrophobic surfaces, they often stay at …

Acoustofluidics, the integration of acoustics and microfluidics, is a rapidly growing research
field that is addressing challenges in biology, medicine, chemistry, engineering, and …

Exosomes, the smallest sized extracellular vesicles (∽ 30–150 nm) packaged with lipids,
proteins, functional messenger RNAs and microRNAs, and double-stranded DNA from their …

Acoustic microfluidic devices are powerful tools that use sound waves to manipulate micro-
or nanoscale objects or fluids in analytical chemistry and biomedicine. Their simple device …
