A common behavior found in nature is the ability of plants and animals to naturally respond
to their surroundings through actuation. Stimuli‐responsive polymers exhibit the same ability …

Abstract Micro-electromechanical-system (MEMS) based actuators, which transduce certain
domains of energy into mechanical movements in the microscopic scale, are increasingly …

Rapid advancements in technology have facilitated the development of functional micro-
electromechanical system (MEMS) actuators. The use of such actuators has recently …

Typical microfluidic devices are application-specific and have to be carefully designed to
implement the necessary functionalities for the targeted application. Programmable …

Magnetic microfluidics has been gradually recognized as an area of its own. Both
conventional microfluidic platforms have incorporated magnetic actuation for microfluidic …

This chapter reviews the up-to-date researches in the field of biosensors integrated with
microfluidic techniques, most of which are publications within the last 5 years. The features …

We present an analysis of the effect of incorporating ridges in straight and meander shaped
pressure-driven Y-type micromixers. Triangular and rectangular ridges were incorporated on …

Current materials for film-based microfluidics suffer from limitations such as low compatibility
with organic solvents and significant adsorption of molecules. Teflon materials seem a …

The paper presents the development of a wristwatch as a configurable testing platform for
personalized point-of-care testing. The developed watch can perform voltammetry and …

Preterm birth is a global health challenge and the leading cause of neonatal mortality. Each
year, about 15 million babies are born preterm globally. Traditional tools that have been …
