TL;DR: In this article, a magnetophoretically formed high aspect ratio nano-nodes are used for hot-spot cooling in microfluidic environments, which can be dynamically chained and docked onto the hot spots to establish tuneable high-aspect ratio nanofins for the heat exchange between these hot spots and the liquid coolant.

TL;DR: This review provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals underlying liquid metal research, including liquid metal synthesis, surface functionalisation and liquid metal enabled chemistry, and discusses phenomena that warrant further investigations in relevant fields.

TL;DR: This review provides an in-depth overview of state-of-the-art dielectrophoretic platforms integrated into microfluidics aimed towards different biomedical applications and suggests the future trends and potential applications of DEP systems in single cell analysis, stem cell research, establishing novel devices, and realising fully DEP-activated lab-on-a-chip systems.

TL;DR: Liquid metal enabled microfluidic components are discussed, and their desirable attributes are highlighted including simple fabrication, facile integration, stretchability, reconfigurability, and low power consumption, with promising applications for highly integrated microfluidity systems.

TL;DR: The concept of a liquid metal enabled pump with no mechanical parts by simply incorporating droplets of Galinstan is demonstrated, which has the potential to fundamentally advance the field of microfluidics.
