Coupling capillary-driven microfluidics with lateral flow immunoassay for signal enhancement
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023-08-01)
Article
Open AccessMicrofluidics has emerged as a versatile technology that is applied to enhance the performance of analytical techniques, among others. Pursuing this, we present a capillary-driven microfluidic device that improves the ... -
Kinetic-energy- and pressure-equilibrium-preserving schemes for real-gas turbulence in the transcritical regime
(2023-09-04)
Article
Open AccessNumerical simulations of compressible turbulent flows governed by real-gas equations of state, such as high-pressure transcritical flows, are strongly susceptible to instabilities. In addition to the inherent multi-scale ... -
Thermodynamics-informed neural network for recovering supercritical fluid thermophysical information from turbulent velocity data
(Elsevier, 2023-11)
Article
Open AccessRecent research has highlighted the potential of supercritical fluids under high-pressure transcritical conditions to achieve microconfined turbulence as a result of the thermophysical properties they exhibit in the vicinity ... -
On-demand inkjet printed hydrophilic coatings for flow control in 3D-printed microfluidic devices embedded with organic electrochemical transistors
(John Wiley & sons, 2023-07)
Article
Open AccessMicrofluidic surface chemistry can enable control of capillary-driven flow without the need for bulky external instrumentation. A novel pondered nonhomogeneous coating defines regions with different wetting properties on ... -
Optimal design of Multiresonant Layered Acoustic Metamaterials (MLAM) via a homogenization approach
(Elsevier, 2023-10)
Article
Open AccessBroadband sound attenuation at low frequency ranges (below 500 Hz) has been a challenge in the acoustics field which cannot be solved, via conventional materials, unless impractical amounts of mass are employed. Multiresonant ... -
Helical static mixer simulations for its integration in the pour plate method: mixing agar and a nutrient solution
(2023-08-05)
Article
Open AccessIn microbiology laboratories, it is essential to obtain high-quality samples where the culture media are completely homogeneous. The pour plate method includes having to melt the culture media—a mixture of agar and a ... -
