Opto-Fluidically Multiplexed Assembly and Micro-Robotics

Banner Promotion Written by | Zhao Yixin Abstract Recently, Moritz Kreysing and others from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany demonstrated that laser-induced local flow fields can be iteratively used for the relative positioning of multiple micro-particles. The researchers showed that multiplexing stimulated by temperatures below the thermal diffusion limit can accelerate the precise … Read more
