An unlikely vessel could shuttle drops of water
around microfluidic devices, giving fine control over chemical reactions
The idea could be useful for shunting drops
around microfluidic devices, giving greater control over chemical reactions.

I'd say the trend is going the other way: that the [silicon lithography] technology that has developed
around the integrated circuit is now being adopted in several other areas, like microelectromechanical systems,
microfluidic devices, chemical labs on a chip, and more.
Developed by Assistant Professor Gretchen Mahler and Binghamton biomedical engineering alumna Courtney Sakolish PhD» 16, the reusable, multi-layered and
microfluidic device incorporates a porous growth substrate, with a physiological fluid flow, and the passive filtration of the capillaries
around the end of a kidney, called the glomerulus, where waste is filtered from blood.
The
device is a unique example of
microfluidics technology, sometimes called a lab - on - a-chip, that pushes water
around in microscopic tubes and reservoirs made from the same cellophanelike plastic as soft contact lenses.
