To develop effective therapeutics against pathogens, scientists need to first uncover how they attack host cells. An efficient way to conduct these investigations on an extensive scale is through high ...

A bottleneck limits the effectiveness of microfluidic chips. Reaction-containing droplets can collide, break up, and foul experiments. 'It's a traffic problem, like several lanes of cars trying to ...

Microfluidics refers to the flow of a few microliters of fluids in micrometre-sized channels. For such flows, properties such as surface tension and fluidic resistance dominate how the system behaves.
