Jolts mix micro fluids Researchers from the New Jersey Institute of Technology have shown that it is possible to mix small amounts of liquids more quickly by pulsing the flow rates of the liquids through the channels in such a way that the pulse rates of the two liquids are out of phase.   |

Microchannel Folds Fluids Researchers from the University of Michigan have devised a passive mixing scheme that causes the flow of liquids on a microfluidic chip to split, rotate and recombine so that the fluid repeatedly folds in on itself and so mixes relatively quickly despite the lack of turbulence. |

Micro waterflows make power Apply electricity to a microscopic tube of water and the water flows. Turn the equation around and force water through the tube instead, and electricity flows. Put enough of the tiny tubes together -- several million or so -- and you get useful amounts of power, and a new, clean source of energy. |

Biochip makes droplet test tubes Researchers who are developing biochips are taking two distinct approaches in devising ways to shunt tiny amounts of liquids around. One focuses on finding ways to form microscopic channels and tiny mechanical pumps. The other is aimed at using electricity to maneuver tiny droplets on surfaces. |

Biochip puts it all together Researchers have made all manner of microfluidic machines, but have yet to come up with cheap, mass-producible biochips for handheld medical and environmental testing. A simple plastic chip puts the necessary pieces together. The $7 device tests blood samples for the presence of E. coli bacteria. |
