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 …

Recently, piezoelectric thin films including zinc oxide (ZnO) and aluminium nitride (AlN)
have found a broad range of lab-on-chip applications such as biosensing, particle/cell …

Stable and efficient guided waves are essential for information transmission and processing.
Recently, topological valley-contrasting materials in condensed matter systems have been …

Acoustic actuation of fluids at small scales may finally enable a comprehensive lab-on-a-
chip revolution in microfluidics, overcoming long-standing difficulties in fluid and particle …

We review point-of-care (POC) diagnostics, in vitro diagnostic (IVD) tests that do not involve
the use of laboratory staff and facilities to provide the result. The analytical “targets” include …

Surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology provides a sensitive platform for sensing
chemicals in gaseous and fluidic states with the inherent advantages of passive and …

Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are electro-mechanical waves that form on the surface of
piezoelectric crystals. Because they are easy to construct and operate, SAW devices have …

Here we present a critical review related to the important acoustic device technologies being
