Researchers have developed a freely available droplet microfluidic component library, which promises to transform the way ...

Years ago, prototyping microfluidic systems was a long, time-intensive task. With inspiration from DIY PCB fabrication techniques, that time is now greatly reduced. However, even with the ...

Microfluidic technology miniaturizes complex laboratory processes—such as mixing, reactions, separations, etc.—into devices the size of a microscope slide. The UF team has developed a ...

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking, freely available droplet microfluidic component library, which promises to ...

Often, microfluidic devices and systems are designed to replicate or model the behaviors observed in natural systems. For example, microfluidic devices can be engineered to replicate the behavior of ...

Perhaps our future overlords won’t be made up of electrical circuits after all but will instead be soft-bodied like ourselves. However, their design will have its origins in electrical analogues ...

Originally developed in the Wheeler lab, the DropBot system is an open-source project that works towards making digital microfluidic devices more accessible. We first visited the Wheeler lab at the ...

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a complex disease which affects voluntary and involuntary muscle movement. The neurons that control muscle cells, as well as the muscle cells themselves, play ...

Combining experiments in microfluidic devices and computer simulation, this study provides a valuable analysis of the relevant parameters that determine the motility of (multicellular) magnetotactic ...
