Blood is a bodily fluid that is vital for a number of life functions in animals. To a first
approximation, blood is a mildly alkaline aqueous fluid (plasma) in which a large number of …

Over the last decade, Raman spectroscopy has gained more and more interest in research
as well as in clinical laboratories. As a vibrational spectroscopy technique, it is …

Acoustic levitation has the potential to enable novel studies due to its ability to hold a wide
variety of substances against gravity under container-less conditions. It has found …

Raman spectroscopy is an emerging technique in bioanalysis and imaging of biomaterials
owing to its unique capability of generating spectroscopic fingerprints. Imaging cells and …

Acoustic vortices can transfer angular momentum and trap particles. Here, we show that
particles trapped in airborne acoustic vortices orbit at high speeds, leading to dynamic …

Acoustic manipulation by an ultrasonic phased array provides an entirely new approach to
processes such as coalescence, mixing, separation, and evaporation occurring in the …

Raman spectroscopy has been recognized to be a powerful tool for label-free discrimination
of cells. Sampling methods are under development to utilize the unique capabilities to …

A method for generating stable ultrasonic levitation of physical matter in air using single
beams (also known as tractor beams) is demonstrated. The method encodes the required …

Acoustic holograms are the keystone of modern acoustics. They encode three-dimensional
acoustic fields in two dimensions, and their quality determines the performance of acoustic …

Acoustic levitation is well-suited to 'lab-on-a-drop'contactless chemical analysis of droplets.
Rapid mixing is of fundamental importance in lab-on-a-drop platforms and many other …
