Acoustic fields are ideal for micromanipulation, being biocompatible and with force gradients
approaching the scale of single cells. They have accordingly found use in a variety of …

Ultrasound constitutes a powerful means for materials processing. Similarly, a new field has
emerged demonstrating the possibility for harnessing sound energy sources at considerably …

Nanocarrier and exosome encapsulation has been found to significantly increase the
efficacy of targeted drug delivery while also minimizing unwanted side effects. However, the …

Controllable enrichment of micro/nanoscale objects plays a significant role in many
biomedical and biochemical applications, such as increasing the detection sensitivity of …

Precision manipulation techniques in microfluidics often rely on ultrasonic actuators to
generate displacement and pressure fields in a liquid. However, strategies to enhance and …

We propose an acoustofluidic method for the triseparation of proteins conjugated with
aptamer-coated microparticles inside a microchannel. Traveling surface acoustic waves …

With the attributes of being biocompatible, label-free, and contact-free, sound has been
widely used to manipulate micro-objects, such as cells, soft matters, and living things, by the …

Core–shell particles are micro-or nanoparticles with solid, liquid, or gas cores encapsulated
by protective solid shells. The unique composition of core and shell materials imparts smart …

A colloidal system is a large collection of micrometer-sized particles suspended in a liquid,
and the state of the system can be measured in real time, using imaging techniques and …

Synthetic self‐propelled nano and microparticles have a growing appeal for targeted drug
delivery, collective functionality, and manipulation at the nanoscale. However, it is …
