Smart materials can respond to stimuli and adapt their responses based on external cues
from their environments. Such behavior requires a way to transport energy efficiently and …

In recent years, controlled release of drugs has posed numerous challenges with the aim of
optimizing parameters such as the release of the suitable quantity of drugs in the right site at …

Manipulation of macroscale objects by sound is fundamentally limited by the wavelength
and object size. Resonant subwavelength scatterers such as bubbles can decouple these …

Controllable on-chip multimodal manipulation of micro-objects in microfluidic devices is
urgently required for enhancing the efficiency of potential biomedical applications. However …

In this paper, off-the-shelf materials such as polyethylene terephthalate films and double-
sided tapes are applied to create lab-on-a-foil microfluidic devices via a cutting plotter …

The majority of microfluidic devices nowadays are built on rigid or bulky substrates such as
glass slides and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) slabs, and heavily rely on external …

Microbubbles excited by acoustic fields inside water oscillate and generate acoustic
radiation forces and drag-induced acoustic streaming. These forces can be harnessed in …

Single-particle trap** mechanisms into microcavities are still puzzling for size-based
particle/cell sorting in microfluidics. Aiming to verify the prediction of particle-wall collision …

A theory is developed that allows one to model the velocity field of acoustic microstreaming
produced by nonspherical oscillations of an acoustically driven gas bubble. It is assumed …

Acoustic tweezing of bioparticles has distinct advantages over other manipulation methods
such as electrophoresis or magnetophoresis in biotechnological applications. This …
