Researchers from the University of California San Diego used acoustic waves to move fluids through small channels, marking the 1st time that surface acoustic waves have been used at the nanoscale. The team’s work was published this week in Advanced Functional Materials.
The findings are an important step towards manufacturing small, portable devices for drug discovery and microbotics, according to the researchers. The devices could one day be used to sort cells move liquids, or sense other biological components for rapid diagnosis.
