Manipulation of micro-and nano-objects has been widely studied in the past two decades
due to its potential applications in various fields. In this review, we focus primarily on …

Magnetic levitation (MagLev) is a user‐friendly, electricity‐free, accurate, affordable, and
label‐free platform for chemical and biological applications owing to its ability to suspend …

The process of crystallization is difficult to observe for transported, out-of-equilibrium
systems, as the continuous energy injection increases activity and competes with ordering …

Interaction of swimming bacteria with flows controls their ability to explore complex
environments, crucial to many societal and environmental challenges and relevant for …

We numerically investigate the deformation and orientation of a ferrofluid droplet in a simple
shear flow under a uniform magnetic field. The numerical simulation is based on the finite …

A prerequisite for isolating diseased cells requires a mechanism for effective mass-based
separation. This objective, however, is generally rather challenging because typically no …

Non-spherical shape is a general appearance feature for bioparticles. Therefore, a
mechanical mechanism study of non-spherical particle migration in a microfluidic chip is …

Magnetic actuation is widely used in engineering specific forms of controlled motion in
microfluidic applications. A challenge, however, is how to extract different desired responses …

Manipulation of aqueous droplets in microchannels has great significance in various
emerging applications such as biological and chemical assays. Magnetic-field based droplet …

We investigate how ferrofluid droplets suspended in a wall-bounded shear flow can
organize when subjected to an external magnetic field. By tuning the magnitude of the …
