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
The blood-brain barrier presents a unique and highly selective semipermeable barrier composed of endothelial and supporting cells. In stressed states, such as during systemic inflammation, the barrier can become “leaky”, increasing in permeability and leading to unwanted solutes from the ... Read More
Microbubble oscillations in the presence of ultrasound wave inside blood vessel have been widely studied for therapeutic applications like drug and gene delivery[1], blood-brain barrier opening[2], and lysis of blood clot[3] and cell membrane[4]. An oscillating bubble exerts stresses on ... Read More
