The acid-disassociation of surface groups generates the surface charge that drives fundamental nanoscale ion transport behaviors, such as ion current rectification in nanopores. Ion current rectification can be utilized for high sensitivity label-free sensors. The disassociation of ... Read More
Microfluidics and Biosensors are two principal fields that paved the way for the inception of Lab-on-a-chip (LOC) which provides early and cost-effective disease detection, from monitoring to treatment. LOC is a device that uses very small amounts of fluid on a microchip to do certain ... Read More
Transdermal drug delivery is an emerging mechanism for continuous systematic solutions in medical healthcare problem. Transdermal drug delivery has significant advantages when compared to conventional methods such as oral administration or intramuscular injection. Most of the ... Read More
Packed bed microreactors (PBMR) and ferrofluids are independently enormously used in a broad range of applications in the healthcare sector. In a PBMR, one of the primary factors for controlling the reaction rate is the bed porosity which immediately affects the catalyst distribution and ... Read More
Recent events underscore the importance of rapid diagnostic tests for detecting viruses such as the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus or for screening cancer biomarkers. Many fluidic-based diagnostics applications require careful control of chemical and biological species concentrations. In this ... Read More
This work reports how an EWOD-driven micropump is simulated using COMSOL Multiphysics®. Electrowetting-on-Dielectrics (EWOD) is frequently used technique to manipulate liquids on small scales. With the help of the EWOD effect and the use of topological optimized tesla valves, a pump can ... Read More
Currently in the semiconductor industry more than 80% of silicon crystal are grown by the Czochralski (Cz) method. In this method, fused silica (SiO2) crucibles and graphite heaters are used inside furnaces. The surface of the crucibles, which are in contact with the molten silicon, is ... Read More
The mechanical characterization of certain cell types is important to obtain physiological insights. For instance, tumor and normal cells can be distinguished by elasticity, indicated by the amount of deformation under given stress. Simulations help to understand, verify and improve the ...

In the field of coding and industrial marking areas, CIJ technology is based on high speed emission of ink drops (20 m/s) which are directed onto a moving printing medium. The printing quality depends, on one hand, on drops position on the media determined by the drop charge and the ... Read More
Electroporation is the process of creating temporary hydrophilic pores in the cell membrane by applying an external electric field of specific strength and duration. It is used for gene transfection, and transport of other useful biomolecules and therapeutic drugs into the cell. When a ... Read More
