Multilayered Digital Microfluidic Chip for Cell‐Based Assays

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A multilayered digital microfluidic (mDMF) chip architecture is introduced to improve throughput and robustness in cell‐based assays. By multilayering electrode components and dielectric layers on glass, this design significantly reduces actuation voltage, maintains reliability, and enables expansion of the operational area with minimum current leakage.

In Situ Change in Contact Angle of a Sessile Droplet on a Magnetoactive Elastomer

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Contact angles of persistent μL$\mu{\rm L}$‐sized water droplets on a mechanically soft MAE surface under time varying magnetic fields differ from those of newly deposited droplets. The ability to quickly alter the material properties allows one to observe intriguing droplet‐material interactions.

Operando Raman Spectroscopy Reveals Backpressure‐Controlled Dynamics in Diluted CO2 Electrolysis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
High backpressure operation governs the CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2RR) kinetics and selectivity, as well as the CO2 and water dynamics, as revealed through operando Raman spectroelectrochemical measurement. Operating eCO2RR near diffusion‐limited conditions provides a platform for investigating the competition between eCO2RR and the hydrogen evolution

Impedance analysis of oil conductivity and pixel non-uniformity in electrowetting displays

Results in Physics, 2020
The electrical conductivity of the oil film is a key property of electrowetting displays (EWD) and its evolution probably correlates to the device lifetime. In this report, we fabricate an EWD device and measure its electrical impedance spectrum.
