A light scattering experiment of turbulent convection in water is carried out a cell with rough upper and lower surfaces. The vertical heat flux found to be increased by $\ensuremath{\sim}20%$ when the Rayleigh number becomes larger than transition value. reveals that main effect surface roughness increase emission large thermal plumes, which travel vertically through central region. These extra plumes enhance transport, they are also responsible for anisotropic behavior velocity...
The gastric mucosal barrier, through its pits, serves as a pathway for secretions, ensuring that mucus produced by the glands is transferred to lumen, providing stable protection. Here bioinspired liquid pockets material shown, composed of thermo-driven hydrogel acts an external activation unit release interflowing responsively, and porous matrices serve interconnected transfer it, enabling controlled internal flow adaptive barrier functionality. Experiments theoretical analysis demonstrate...
The critical challenge in advancing liquid metal circuits (LMCs) lies achieving interfacial compatibility with diverse substrates while dynamically balancing fabrication efficiency and quality to ensure robust conductive stability. Here we introduce an electrochemical redox synergistic (E‐rsLM) that enables the controllable generation of intermetallic bond transition layers (Cu, Au, or Fe‐based) between unrestricted substrate surfaces, applicable pH‐universal electrolytes. It involves...

<title>Abstract</title> Microrobotic structures formed from liquid materials offer certain advantages of reconfigurability and biochemical compatibility at microscopic scales. Here, we use electrothermally driven flow dynamics to prepare single or multi-unit reconfigurable droplet microrobotic with diverse cytomimetic properties. The are constructed by the integrated assembly precision-eluted lipid-coated water-in-oil emulsions, engineered transmembrane protein-based pores mechanosensitive...
Streaming potential is mainly related to electrokinetic energy conversion, which has been considered show promising for advanced technologies, especially sensing. The inherent property of streaming that the conversion process always a continuous state. However, practical applications include many cases discontinuous states, such as nonlinear Here, we report fluid system. Experiments and theoretical calculations reveal this system exhibits effect provides gating liquid slip in micropores,...
Glass is a common material used in various microsystems including sensors, actuators, and microfluidic devices due to its extraordinary properties. However, lack of flexibility elasticity limits potential for further applications. To solve this issue, thinning the thick glass plate few microns solution. conventional methods plates are complex, risky, time-consuming, difficult implementation at laboratory level. This paper reports an efficient convenient fabrication method independent...
We demonstrated a self-driven chemical micropump powered by self-oscillating motions of synthetic polymer gel converting energy into displacements thin polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) sheet to produce directional flow via micro check valves. The oscillations induced the oscillatory Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction generate large volume change. To effectively exploit this change, bars were used as drivers. They sandwiched fixed cover glass and push-bar communicate expanding (pushing) force...
Intracellular components (including organelles and biomolecules) at the submicron level are typically analyzed in situ by special preparation or expensive setups. Here, a label-free cost-effective approach of screening microalgal single-cells subcellular resolution is available based on impedance cytometry. To best our knowledge, it first time that relationships between signals intracellular biomolecules shown. Experiments were performed Euglena gracilis (E. gracilis) cells incubated under...
Bio-actuators that use insect muscular tissue have attracted attention from researchers worldwide because of their small size, self-motive property, self-repairer ability, robustness, and the need for less environment management than mammalian cells. To demonstrate potential as bio-actuators, three types these robots, a pillar actuator, walker, twizzer, been designed fabricated. However, model an tissue-powered swimming robot is able to float swim in solution has not yet reported. Therefore,...

High-Rayleigh-number turbulent convection has been studied using the technique of photon-correlation homodyne spectroscopy to measure velocity differences at various length scales. The measured intensity correlation function G(q,t,L) is found be scaling form G(qu(L)t), with u(L)\ensuremath{\sim}${\mathit{L}}^{0.6}$ being characteristic legth scale L and q scattering vector. It also that lower cutoff ${\mathit{l}}_{\mathit{c}}$ range obeys a power law...
Abstract Crop residue at the soil surface is known to decrease evaporation, and measurements have shown that wind increases evaporative loss through residues; however, our knowledge, of water vapor flux residues not defined their conductance.

Turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection in water has been studied using a newly developed technique of incoherent cross-correlation spectroscopy. At high Rayleigh number Ra (hard turbulence), local velocity fluctuations are isotropic, and their probability density functions the center region have an invariant Gaussian form, with rms ${\ensuremath{\upsilon}}_{0}\ensuremath{\sim}{\mathrm{Ra}}^{0.44}$. low soft turbulence regime, for vertical do not universal form appear to depend on coherence...
Single cell analysis has gained attention as a means to investigate the heterogeneity of cells and amplify with desired characteristics. However, obtaining single from large number remains difficult because preparation single-cell samples relies on conventional techniques such pipetting that are labor intensive.

Patterned cell culturing is one of the most useful techniques for understanding interaction between geometric conditions surrounding cells and their behaviors. The authors previously proposed a simple method patterning with an agarose gel microstructure fabricated by microcasting degassed polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) mold. Although vacuum pressure produced from PDMS can drive highly viscous solution, influence solution viscosity on casting process unknown. This study investigated influences...
