This paper reviews both theory and experimental observation of the AC electrokinetic
properties of conducting microparticles suspended in an aqueous electrolyte. Applied AC …

In this paper, building upon the numerical discovery of asymmetric rectified electric fields
(AREFs), we explore the generation of AREF by applying a sawtooth-like voltage to 1: 1 …

We report direct measurements of potential energy landscapes for different shaped colloidal
particles interacting with nonuniform AC electric fields. Epoxy particle shapes investigated …

Any single permanent magnet or electromagnet will always attract a magnetic fluid. For this
reason it is difficult to precisely position and manipulate ferrofluid at a distance from …

This article is on microscale flow control, on dynamically shaping flow fields in microfluidic
devices to precisely manipulate cells, quantum dots (QDs), and nanowires. Compared to …

Acoustic tweezers are a method of using acoustic waves to manipulate small particles in
medium such as water or air without touching or contaminating them. Here, we report a …
