We demonstrate flow rectification, valveless pumping, or alternating to direct current (AC-to-
DC) conversion in macroscale fluidic networks with loops. Inspired by the unique anatomy of …

Rapid removal of small-sized droplets passively using fixed structures is a key challenge for
various applications including anti-icing, rapid cooling, and water harvesting. In this work …

Thermo-osmosis describes the fluid flow due to thermal gradients. Usually, thermo-osmosis
for a liquid is from high to low temperature. However, in certain cases, the direction of the …
