Microfluidics

Microfluidics is a cutting-edge field of research that enables the manipulation and control of fluids in extremely small spaces, usually on a microscopic scale. Its development has been driven by advances in engineering, electronics, and material science, as well as by new discoveries in the life sciences. Microfluidics has enabled a range of applications in diverse industries, from medical diagnostics and drug delivery to food safety and energy production. Its most exciting promise is to provide unprecedented access to the structure and behavior of fluids, which can enable new insights into fundamental problems in science and technology.
