But consider that each time you fire up an ink-jet printer, you’re putting microfluidics to work, as nanoliter-sized droplets of ink are spewed across space to impact your paper at exactly the ...

Both Berlow and Lee do note that a major step in the development of truly inexpensive microfluidic devices was accomplished in Whitesides' lab last year when his group used layers of paper and ...

For instance, inkjet printers use microfluidic technology to deposit tiny droplets of ink onto paper. The ink is pushed through a small nozzle by a tiny pump, and the droplets are precisely positioned ...

2 This design integrated these microvalves onto a bilayer PDMS microfluidic chip. Liquid flowed through the bottom channel, while the upper channel sat perpendicular to it. When activated under ...

Microfluidics is the engineering or use of devices that apply fluid flow to channels smaller than 1 millimetre in at least one dimension. Microfluidic devices can reduce reagent consumption, allow ...

Caltech professor of medical engineering Wei Gao and his colleagues are envisioning a smart bandage of the future-a "lab on ...

Introduction to Microfluidics Technology is a hands-on laboratory course sponsored by the National Science Foundation’s Bioinspired Soft Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) at ...

The iCares bandage uses innovative microfluidic components, sensors, and machine learning to sample and analyze wounds and provide data to help patients and caregivers make treatment decisions.
