Trigger valves are fundamental features in capillary-driven microfluidic systems that stop fluid at an abrupt geometric expansion and release fluid when there is flow in an orthogonal channel ...

Gases can permeate through 2D channels made from materials like graphene and boron nitride much faster than predicted by theory. The effect can be explained by “specular surface scattering”, which ...

Engineers have found a way to eliminate the fluid flow 'dead zones' that plague the types of electrodes used for battery-based seawater desalination. The new technique uses a physics-based tapered ...

Observation of protein interactions with individual DNA molecules allows one to measure kinetic and structural changes that are not easy to study using bulk biochemical techniques. In this ...

Figure 1. These examples show the application of die design guidelines. Figure 1 illustrates applications of these guidelines to several different profiles. Figure 2. This is an example of a partition ...
