Anisotropic microparticles, which assume different properties depending on their direction, have become a research hotspot because subtle changes in particle anisotropy can create surprising effects. Benefiting from anisotropic nature, these microparticles are capable of breaking through the limitation general isotropic particles and combining diverse functions within single entity, thereby add...

Digital Microfluidics as a Reconfiguration Mechanism for Antennas

Microfluidics is a multidisciplinary field with practical applications to the design of systems, called lab-on-chip (LoC), where tiny volumes of fluids are circulated through channels with millimeter size and driven into structures where precise chemical/physical processes take place. One subcategory of microfluidics is droplet-based microfluidics, in which discrete volumes of fluids disperse i...
