Design of a Reconfigurable Microfluidic System Enabled by Magnetic Miniature Robots

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Magnetic miniature robots are integrated into microfluidic chips to achieve real‐time reconfiguration. By external magnetic actuation, the robots perform sorting, mixing, flow regulation, and bubble removal on demand. This versatile platform eliminates the need for complex on‐chip hardware and enables adaptive control for biological and chemical ...

Bistable Dual‐Responsive Azobenzene‐co‐PNIPAM Soft Microactuators via Two‐Photon Direct Laser Writing

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work shows the successful integration of intrinsic bistability into thermoresponsive soft microactuators, fabricated by two‐photon polymerization utilizing the (E)–(Z)‐isomerization of azobenzenes. The bistable behavior accounts for a reversible volume change of Azo_pNIPAM microactuators initiated by light irradiation, at constant ambient ...
