Droplet Microfluidics as a Tool for the Generation of Granular Matters and Functional Emulsions
Emulsion—a liquid dispersed in another liquid—is in many respects very similar to granular matter. In the early 2000s a new technology—droplet microfluidics—began emerging from the wider field of microfluidics.

Programmable Carrier‐Free All‐Enzyme Beads for Modular Continuous‐Flow Biocatalysis
Genetically encoded enzyme building blocks self‐assemble into monodisperse, carrier‐free protein beads via a droplet‐based formulation strategy. These programmable catalytic particles enable modular continuous‐flow biocatalysis, from single‐enzyme reactions to multi‐enzyme cascades and bead–bead coupled reactor systems.

A pixelated full‐color display is driven by a 1064 nm near‐infrared laser without electrical wiring. A graphite photothermal layer converts light into heat, while an aluminum heat‐spreading layer redistributes it for uniform color within each pixel. Optimizing pixel size and spacing suppresses thermal crosstalk, enabling non‐contact reproduction of ...

Light-Triggered Inflation of Microdroplets
Driven systems composed largely of droplets and fuel make up a significant portion of microbiological function. At the micrometer scale, fully synthetic systems that perform an array of tasks within a uniform bulk are much more rare.

Fluorescence Polarization Anisotropy in Microdroplets
Chemical reactions can be greatly accelerated in microdroplets, but the factors that lead to acceleration are still being elucidated. Using rhodamine 6G (R6G) as a model compound, we studied the density distribution and fluorescence polarization ...

High‐throughput antibiotic cross‐gradient assays on microdroplet arrays. A multichannel printhead together with five pressure regulators forms droplet arrays of up to 20 832 droplets within 25 minutes. Each droplet contains unique concentrations of antibiotics, allowing to moniture a vast spectrum of bacterial repsonses over night. The bacterial growth
