Thermophoretic micro/nanomotors (MNMs) generate self-propulsion without a chemical
reaction. Intrinsically, this promises excellent biocompatibility and is thus suitable for …

In this mini-review, recent advances on the role of a focused laser in micro-and nanofluidic
systems is widely introduced with special interest in thermo-fluid dynamical aspects and …

A temperature gradient in a continuous fluid induces the motion of dispersed micro-and
nanoparticles even when the fluid is motionless. This phenomenon is known as …

The thermophoresis of suspended particles in a fluid is usually from high to low temperature.
In the present paper, the negative thermophoresis (from low to high temperature) of …

The response of colloidal particles to a light-controlled external temperature field can be
harnessed for optothermophoretic manipulation of the particles. The thermoelectric effect is …

The thermophoresis of nanoparticles suspended in gas is investigated in the transition
regime by molecular dynamics simulations. It is found that there exists significant …

Thermophoresis is the motion of micro-or nanoparticles driven by the temperature gradient
of the surrounding fluid. We develop an on-chip microfluidic device to induce the …

Thermophoresis is the movement of particles in a fluid subjected to a steady temperature
gradient, where the fluid molecules at the hotter region possessing higher kinetic energy …

Thermophoresis, ie particle migration driven by a thermal energy gradient, has been of long-
standing interest in aerosol science, yet is incompletely understood. For instance, for …

Particle flow separation is a useful technique in lab-on-a-chip applications to selectively
transport dispersed phases to a desired branch in microfluidic devices. The present study …
