Photothermal bubble: Dynamics, manipulation, and applications
As a versatile platform for bubble manipulation, photothermal techniques empower diverse operations: planar translation by scanning the laser spot, sustained periodic bouncing from competing thermal and hydrodynamic flows, and even guided 3D trajectories achieved by tailoring the heating configuration.

Localized 3D acoustic streaming in microdroplets using high‐frequency micro‐beam IDTs
Miniaturized 160 MHz acoustic microbeam transducers, with a size much smaller than droplets, enable precise localized actuation, generating complex three‐dimensional streaming and tunable particle aggregation. This concept provides high‐resolution, non‐contact fluid manipulation for biosensing, lab‐on‐chip diagnostics, and targeted drug screening ...

Microfluidic production of monodisperse food‐additive polymer capsules for biological applications
Monodisperse TGPR polymer capsules are generated via a robust microfluidic approach exploiting droplet interface transfer across the oil‒water interface. Unlike lipid vesicles, these capsules offer high thermal stability and biocompatibility. They successfully demonstrated utility as robust bioreactors for in‐capsule PCR and bacterial cultivation ...

Supercritical fluid chromatography was employed in the sample preparation for IRMS determinations in sports drug testing for the first time and the developed method was successfully validated. Cholesterol (CHOL) was introduced as a novel endogenous reference compound and population‐based Δ‐values were established as shown here.

This study demonstrates the feasibility of an underground closed‐loop thermal storage facility at a post‐mining site, intended for seasonal heat energy storage. Its principal design shows water flow directions in winter and summer (1, 2), heat pumps (3), an upper water reservoir (4), and connecting pipes (5).
