[PROJECT] BubbleBoost - Microfluidic bubbles for novel applications: acoustic laser and ultrasonically controlled swimming microrobots
ID: 614655
Start date: 2014-04-01, End date: 2019-03-31
Microfluidic techniques developed since the year 2000 have now matured to provide a unique tool to produce large amounts of microbubbles that are not only finely tuned in size, but that can also be embedded in tiny microfabricated structures. In the present proposal, we plan ...
