Electrowetting: from basics to applications
, 2005 Electrowetting has become one of the most widely used tools for manipulating tiny amounts of liquids on surfaces. Applications range from ‘lab-on-a-chip’ devices to adjustable lenses and new kinds of electronic displays. In the present article, we review

Accelerated electrowetting-based tunable fluidic lenses.
Optics Express, 2021 One of the limitations in the application of electrowetting-based tunable fluidic lenses is their slow response time. We consider here two approaches for enhancing the response speed of tunable fluidic lenses: optimization of the properties of the fluids

Actuation of Flexible Membranes via Capillary Force: Single-Active-Surface Experiments
Micromachines, 2018 Conventional approaches to microscale actuation, such as electrostatic, have difficulty in achieving large motion at moderate voltages. Recently, actuators relying on the active control of capillary pressure have been demonstrated, with the pressure ...

Actuating droplets with electrowetting: Force and dynamics
DropletElectrowetting on dielectric (EWOD) allows rapid movement of liquid droplets on a smooth surface, with applications ranging from lab‐on‐chip devices to micro‐actuators. The in‐plane force on a droplet is a key indicator of EWOD performance.

Multidirectional Motion Strategy of Miniature Water Surface Robot Actuated by Single Exciter
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A novel multidirectional motion strategy on the water surface based on a single exciter is proposed, and a single‐exciter single‐plate module is developed for actuation. The driving forces generation mechanism of the module is revealed from the perspective of the asymmetric surface wave field.
