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 …

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

Recently, piezoelectric thin films including zinc oxide (ZnO) and aluminium nitride (AlN)
have found a broad range of lab-on-chip applications such as biosensing, particle/cell …

In recent years, magnetism has gained an enormous amount of interest among researchers
for actuating different sizes and types of bio/soft robots, which can be via an electromagnetic …

The recent introduction of surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology onto lab-on-a-chip
platforms has opened a new frontier in microfluidics. The advantages provided by such SAW …

Techniques that can dexterously manipulate single particles, cells, and organisms are
invaluable for many applications in biology, chemistry, engineering, and physics. Here, we …

This article reviews acoustic microfluidics: the use of acoustic fields, principally ultrasonics,
for application in microfluidics. Although acoustics is a classical field, its promising, and …

In single-cell analysis, cellular activity and parameters are assayed on an individual, rather
than population-average basis. Essential to observing the activity of these cells over time is …

Microvesicles (MVs) are an increasingly important source for biomarker discovery and
clinical diagnostics. The small size of MVs and their presence in complex biological …

After decades of development, microrobots have exhibited great application potential in the
biomedical field, such as minimally invasive surgery, drug delivery, and bio‐sensing …
