Active, paper-based, microfluidic chips driven by electrowetting are fabricated and demonstrated for reagent transport mixing K. Shin, O.-S. Kwon, co-workers on page 2335. The key advantage in fabricating the paper-based is that electrode patterns can be designed printed paper quickly, finely, precisely without complicated wet-lab processes. cover image showes inkjet-printed patterned electrodes employed to actuate liquid drops paper, not only photo but virtually any such as recycled magazine paper.
