In the last two decades, the vast majority of microfluidic systems have been built in poly
(dimethylsiloxane)(PDMS) by soft lithography, a technique based on PDMS micromolding. A …

The advent of soft lithography allowed for an unprecedented expansion in the field of
microfluidics. However, the vast majority of PDMS microfluidic devices are still made with …

Pneumatically actuated soft robots have recently shown promise for their ability to adapt to
their environment. Previously, these robots have been controlled with electromechanical …

Soft robots possess many attributes that are difficult, if not impossible, to achieve with
conventional robots composed of rigid materials,. Yet, despite recent advances, soft robots …

The emergence of soft robots has presented new challenges associated with controlling the
underlying fluidics of such systems. Here, we introduce a strategy for additively …

Almost all pneumatic and hydraulic actuators useful for mesoscale functions rely on hard
valves for control. This article describes a soft, elastomeric valve that contains a bistable …

Origami-inspired engineering has enabled intelligent materials and structures to process
and react to environmental stimuli. However, it is challenging to achieve complete sense …

Microfluidics has developed into a mature field with applications across science and
engineering, having particular commercial success in molecular diagnostics, next …

This review focuses on experimental work on nonlinear phenomena in microfluidics, which
for the most part are phenomena for which the velocity of a fluid flowing through a …

3D cell-culture models have recently garnered great attention because they often promote
levels of cell differentiation and tissue organization not possible in conventional 2D culture …
