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 …

Stem cells and their local microenvironment, or niche, communicate through mechanical
cues to regulate cell fate and cell behaviour and to guide developmental processes. During …

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 …

This paper discusses “bioink”, bioprintable materials used in three dimensional (3D)
bioprinting processes, where cells and other biologics are deposited in a spatially controlled …

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

Acoustic tweezers provide an effective means for manipulating single cells and particles in a
high-throughput, precise, selective and contact-free manner. The adoption of acoustic …

Precise and selective manipulation of colloids and biological cells has long been motivated
by applications in materials science, physics and the life sciences. Here we introduce our …

The lysis of cells in order to extract the nucleic acids or proteins inside it is a crucial unit
operation in biomolecular analysis. This paper presents a critical evaluation of the various …

Ultrasound is composed of mechanical sound waves that originate from molecular
movements that oscillate in a propagation medium. The waves have a very high frequency …

Today, surface acoustic waves (SAWs) and bulk acoustic waves are already two of the very
few phononic technologies of industrial relevance and can been found in a myriad of …
