TLDR
In this article, an ion concentration polarization (ICP) was used to separate micro-and nano-sized particles based on their electrophoretic mobilities, which was performed using a strong electric field in the depletion region without the use of internal electrodes.Abstract:
We proposed a novel separation method, which is the first report using ion concentration polarization (ICP) to separate particles continuously. We analyzed the electrical forces that cause the repulsion of particles in the depletion region formed by ICP. Using the electrical repulsion, micro- and nano-sized particles were separated based on their electrophoretic mobilities. Because the separation of particles was performed using a strong electric field in the depletion region without the use of internal electrodes, it offers the advantages of simple, low-cost device fabrication and bubble-free operation compared with conventional continuous electrophoretic separation methods, such as miniaturizing free-flow electrophoresis (μ-FFE). This separation device is expected to be a useful tool for separating various biochemical samples, including cells, proteins, DNAs and even ions.read more

TL;DR: It is suggested that WWTPs could be a sink but also a source of MP and thus can be considered to play an important role for environmental MP pollution.

A critical overview of the analytical approaches to the occurrence, the fate and the behavior of microplastics in the environment
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that due to the high disposability and low recovery of discharged materials, plastics materials have become debris accumulating in the environment, which can be found in food packaging, shopping bags, and household items such as toothbrushes and pens, and facial cleansers.

Rapid prototyping of microfluidic systems in poly(dimethylsiloxane)
TL;DR: A procedure that makes it possible to design and fabricate microfluidic systems in an elastomeric material poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) in less than 24 h by fabricating a miniaturized capillary electrophoresis system is described.
Theory and Experiment
TL;DR: The authors studies the impact of ambiguity and ambiguity aversion on equilibrium asset prices and portfolio holdings in competitive financial markets, and finds that attitudes toward ambiguity are heterogeneous across the population, just as attitudes toward risk are heterogenous across the populations, but that heterogeneity of attitudes towards ambiguity has different implications than heterogeneity of attitude toward risk, and that investors who have cognitive biases do not affect prices because they are infra-marginal.

Direct seawater desalination by ion concentration polarization
TL;DR: A process for converting sea water to fresh water in which a continuous stream of sea water is divided into desalted and concentrated streams by ion concentration polarization, which significantly reduces the possibility of membrane fouling and salt accumulation, thus avoiding two problems that plague other membrane filtration methods.

Mechanism for flow-rate controlled breakup in confined geometries: a route to monodisperse emulsions.
TL;DR: This Letter describes a quasistationary breakup of an immiscible, inviscid fluid at low capillary numbers, which forms the basis for controlled, high-throughput generation of monodisperse fluid dispersions.
