Acoustic levitation uses acoustic radiation forces to counteract gravity and suspend objects
in mid-air. Although acoustic levitation was first demonstrated almost a century ago, for a …

The high throughput deposition of microscale objects with precise spatial arrangement
represents a key step in microfabrication technology. This can be done by creating physical …

Detection of circulating tumour cells (CTCs) plays a crucial role in the diagnosis of tumour
metastasis and evaluation of therapeutic effect on prognosis. The low number of the CTCs …

The use of acoustic radiation forces in lab-on-a-chip environments has seen a rapid
development in recent years. Operations such as particle sieving, sorting and …

Acoustophoresis with its simple and low-cost fabrication, rapid and localized fluid actuation,
compatibility with microfluidic components, and biocompatibility for cellular studies, has …

We employ an ultrasound wave field generated by one or more ultrasound transducers to
organize large quantities of nanoparticles dispersed in a fluid medium into two-dimensional …

Ultrasonic fields are able to exert forces on cells and other micron-scale particles, including
microbubbles. The technology is compatible with existing lab-on-chip techniques and is …

We present the analysis of a non-resonant acoustic levitator, formed by an ultrasonic
transducer and a concave reflector. In contrast to traditional levitators, the geometry …

Acoustic standing waves have been widely used in trapping, patterning, and manipulating
particles, whereas one barrier remains: the lack of understanding of force conditions on …

Robots play an important role all over the world in the industrial field in terms of handling
various materials and performing duties quickly with high accuracy. Product handlings in the …
