This review focuses on experimental work on nonlinear phenomena in microfluidics, which
for the most part are phenomena for which the velocity of a fluid flowing through a …

The microfluidic flow is typically laminar due to the dominant viscous effects. At Reynolds
numbers far below 1 (Re≪ 1), the fluid inertia can be neglected. For the steady flow of …

Microfluidic systems have been investigated as practical tools in the fields of biomedical
engineering, analytical chemistry, materials science, and biological research. Yet the …

Frequency references are fundamental to most digital systems, providing the basis for
process synchronization, timing of outputs, and waveform synthesis. Recently, there has …

Spatiotemporal manipulation of extracellular chemical environments with simultaneous
monitoring of cellular responses plays an essential role in exploring fundamental biological …

Microfluidics, the science and technology of manipulating fluids in microscale channels,
offers numerous advantages, such as low energy consumption, compact device size …

Microfluidics has emerged following the quest for scale reduction inherent to micro‐and
nanotechnologies. By definition, microfluidics manipulates fluids in small channels with …

We show both numerically and analytically that a chemically patterned active pore can act
as a micro-or nanopump for fluids, even if it is fore-aft symmetric. This is possible due to a …

Fluidic logic circuits simplify system design for soft robotics by eliminating bulky components
while enabling operation in a range of hostile environments that are incompatible with …

Microfluidic single‐cell cultivation (MSCC) is an emerging field within fundamental as well
as applied biology. During the last years, most MSCCs were performed at constant …
