Abstract: A lithography-free, mold-free method of fabricating high quality optical material by curing polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) droplets in or on pre-heated substrates allows lenses with different focal lengths to be made by varying the volume and surface temperature, as well as the substrate.

Abstract: A microfluidic device includes an insulating substrate, an electrode array and a cover. The electrode array is disposed on the substrate for receiving a plurality of alternating current control signals each of which has a phase. The cover is disposed on the substrate and has a surface that faces the substrate and that cooperates with the substrate to define a microfluidic channel over the electrode array. The phases of the control signals differ from one another, such that liquid introduced into the microfluidic channel is driven to flow therethrough.

Abstract: A microfluidic particle separation device includes a substrate and a plurality of electrode bars formed on the substrate, disposed around as array center, angularly spaced apart from one another, and extending radially with respect to the array center so as to form a radially-extending electrode array that is capable of inducing circular or elliptical shear flow of the liquid through travelling-wave electroosmosis when being applied with a travelling-wave electric potential.
