Microfluidic Pumping Based on Dielectrophoresis

Summary

Researchers at Purdue University have developed a novel microfluidic pumping scheme based on dielectrophoresis, which enables precise flow actuation and control for applications in electronics cooling and biological analysis. It involves no moving parts and is reliable over long-term usage. When this technique is used in combination with nanofluids, the nanoparticles act as a fluid mover and the superior thermal transport properties of the nanofluids can be utilized to enhance heat transfer simultaneously.
