Several gallium-based liquid metal alloys are liquid at room temperature. As 'liquid', such
alloys have a low viscosity and a high surface tension while as 'metal', they have high …

Gallium and several of its alloys are liquid metals at or near room temperature. Gallium has
low toxicity, essentially no vapor pressure, and a low viscosity. Despite these desirable …

This review focuses on experimental work on nonlinear phenomena in microfluidics, which
for the most part are phenomena for which the velocity of a fluid flowing through a …

Microfabricated integrated circuits revolutionized computation by vastly reducing the space,
labor, and time required for calculations. Microfluidic systems hold similar promise for the …

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 …

We survey progress over the past 25 years in the development of microscale devices for
pum** fluids. We attempt to provide both a reference for micropump researchers and a …

Small-scale pumps will be the heartbeat of many future micro/nanoscale platforms.
However, the integration of small-scale pumps is presently hampered by limited flow rate …

This review gives a brief overview of microvalves, and focuses on the actuation mechanisms
and their applications. One of the stumbling blocks for successful miniaturization and …

This paper briefly overviews progress on the development of MEMS-based micropumps and
their applications in drug delivery and other biomedical applications such as micrototal …

Micropum** has emerged as a critical research area for many electronics and biological
applications. A significant driving force underlying this research has been the integration of …
