Several gallium-based liquid metal alloys are liquid at room temperature. As 'liquid', such
alloys have a low viscosity and a high surface tension while as 'metal', they have high …

The aim of microfluidic mixing is to achieve a thorough and rapid mixing of multiple samples
in microscale devices. In such devices, sample mixing is essentially achieved by enhancing …

Microchannel heat sink (MCHS) with nanofluids has been widely utilized to improve heat
transfer performance in micro-scale mechanical systems. Although various studies have …

Chaotic advection plays an important role in microplatforms for a variety of applications.
Currently used mechanisms for inducing chaotic advection in small scale, however, are …

Oscillating sharp edges have been employed to achieve rapid and homogeneous mixing in
microchannels using acoustic streaming. Here, we used a perturbation approach to study …

In this work, mixed convection heat transfer of nanofluids in a T-shaped lid-driven porous
cavity is studied. The governing equations for a simple cavity are studied based on the …

Microfluidic systems enable rapid diagnosis of diseases, biological analysis, drug screening,
and high‐precision materials synthesis. In spite of these remarkable abilities, conventional …

Rapid mixing is essential for achieving effective chemical and biological reactions. Because
passive diffusion is a slow process, it is often necessary to agitate or stir a solution …

In this study, we present a microwave-based microfluidic mixer that allows rapid mixing
within individual droplets efficiently. The designed microwave mixer is a coplanar design …

We for the first time present a microfluidic cavitation-microstreaming-based cell lysis and
DNA extraction method. Chemical lysis and DNA extraction have been demonstrated in a …
