Microscale liquid phase separations.
Miniaturization and microfabrication of analytical instrumentation for chemical and biological analyses has been proceeding at a rapid pace for a few decades, and has gained momentum in the past decade with the introduction and application of microfabricated instruments. Motivating factors for performing microscale separations and analyses are reduced reagent, solvent and sample consumption, re...
متن کاملLiquid dielectrophoresis on the microscale
Polarizable liquids respond to a non-uniform electric "eld by collecting preferentially in regions of maximum "eld intensity. This manifestation of dielectrophoresis (DEP) is a wellknown example of the ponderomotive force, with the "eld acting on individual (molecular) dipoles in the liquid. When electrode dimensions are scaled down to &10 to 100 m, liquid DEP makes possible a new type of high-...
متن کاملMicroscale locomotion in a nematic liquid crystal.
Microorganisms often encounter anisotropy, for example in mucus and biofilms. We study how anisotropy and elasticity of the ambient fluid affects the speed of a swimming microorganism with a prescribed stroke. Motivated by recent experiments on swimming bacteria in anisotropic environments, we extend a classical model for swimming microorganisms, the Taylor swimming sheet, actuated by small-amp...
متن کاملMicroscale assembly directed by liquid-based template.
A liquid surface established by standing waves is used as a dynamically reconfigurable template to assemble microscale materials into ordered, symmetric structures in a scalable and parallel manner. The broad applicability of this technology is illustrated by assembling diverse materials from soft matter, rigid bodies, individual cells, cell spheroids and cell-seeded microcarrier beads.
متن کاملMicroscale Liquid-Metal Switches - A Review
Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) have constituted an active R&D area over the last two to three decades, with one of the earliest application topics being microswitches. Typical designs involve actuation of microscale flexural elements (e.g., beams and membranes) to make a short or an opening in the transmission (signal) line. However, the problem of reliability of these switches persisted...
