  5. Watching Waves on the Nanoscale

    It’s tough to simulate nonlinear wave dynamics, so scientists often test theories in wave flumes, where they can create more controlled waves than what we see in the wild. But conventional wave flumes are big–meters-long, complicated equipment–and can only test a small range of conditions. To reach more extreme nonlinear dynamics, researchers have turned to a chip-based approach. These 100-micron-long wave flumes carry a film of superfluid helium less than 7 nanometers thick. But despite that tiny size, the system can reach levels of nonlinearity five orders of magnitude greater than their full-sized counterparts. (Image and research credit: M.

  10. Necroprinting By Mosquito

    Engineers have been adapting biological materials into robotics in recent years. One of the latest versions of this trend is “necroprinting,” in which researchers built a microscale 3D printer around a mosquito’s proboscis. Made to pierce thick skin to reach blood, the mosquito proboscis offered the kind of size, geometry, and stiffness needed for small-scale printing. The team found that their necroprinter performed well at the ~20 micron scale, with the mosquito-based nozzle costing only a fraction of what a conventional human-made nozzle would.

  14. Acoustically Trapping Nanoparticles

    Micrometer-sized particles can be trapped in place against a flow using acoustic waves. But smaller nano-sized particles feel less radiation pressure from acoustic waves, and so keep moving in the flow. But new work shows that it is possible to trap those nanoparticles with some additional help.

    In this case, researchers seeded their flow with microparticles that were held in place by acoustic waves against the background flow. When nanoparticles were added to the mix, they remained trapped in the wells between microparticles due to a combination of acoustic forcing and the hydrodynamic shielding of the nearby large particles.

  19. Microsoft's claiming a 'breakthrough' in AI chip cooling with microfluidics, promising 3x better cooling and allowing for overclocking without, you know, melting things. Apparently, the design is inspired by leaf veins. Is this the cool future we've been waiting for, or just another drop in the data center ocean? engadget.com/ai/microsoft-clai #AI #TechNews #Cooling #Microfluidics #Hardware

  20. Ah, the cutting-edge #technology we've all been waiting for: playing #Snake with glorified water droplets! 🚰🐍 Because nothing screams "innovation" like reinventing the wheel with microfluidic acrobatics. 🙄🔬
