This description of “soft robotics” is not intended to be a conventional review, in the sense of
a comprehensive technical summary of a developing field. Rather, its objective is to describe …

Many crystallization processes of great importance, including frost heave, biomineralization,
the synthesis of nanomaterials, and scale formation, occur in small volumes rather than bulk …

Droplet-based microfluidic systems have been employed to manipulate discrete fluid
volumes with immiscible phases. Creating the fluid droplets at microscale has led to a …

Developments in the field of microfluidics have triggered technological revolutions in many
disciplines, including chemical synthesis, electronics, diagnostics, single-cell analysis, micro …

The intrinsic limitations of conventional batch synthesis have hindered its applications in
both solving classical problems and exploiting new frontiers. Microfluidic technology offers a …

This review summarizes recent developments in microfluidic platform approaches. In
contrast to isolated application-specific solutions, a microfluidic platform provides a set of …

Microdroplets in microfluidics offer a great number of opportunities in chemical and
biological research. They provide a compartment in which species or reactions can be …

Microfabricated integrated circuits revolutionized computation by vastly reducing the space,
labor, and time required for calculations. Microfluidic systems hold similar promise for the …

Droplet-based microfluidic systems have been shown to be compatible with many chemical
and biological reagents and capable of performing a variety of “digital fluidic” operations that …

Flash chemistry based on high-resolution reaction time control using flow microreactors
enables chemical reactions that cannot be done in batch and serves as a powerful tool for …
