TL;DR: In this paper, a flexible and noninvasive approach for efficient continuous micromixing and microreaction based on direct current-induced thermal buoyancy convection in a single microfluidic unit is presented.

TL;DR: A straightforward approach to release multiple actives at a prescribed position in microfluidic systems; one or two actives are encapsulated in water-in-oil- in-water emulsion droplets, followed by controlled release of the actives via an alternating current electric field.

TL;DR: The proposed traffic control approach provides a promising technique for flexible manipulation of particulate samples and can be conveniently integrated with other micro/nanofluidic components into a complete functional on-chip platform owing to its simple geometric structure, easy operation, and multifunctionality.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a high-throughput separation strategy of the binary colloid mixture by dielectrophoresis (DEP) induced around large-scale bipolar electrode arrays embedded in microfabricated fluidic networks via a thorough numerical investigation.

TL;DR: Novel microfluidic fabrication of compound-droplet-pairs-filled hydrogel microfibers (C-Fibers) is presented for two-step selective controlled release under AC electric field to provide novel multidelivery system for a wide range of applications that require controlled release of multiple ingredients in a prescribed sequence.
