Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a device for manipulating a substance, the device comprising at least three series of interdigitated electrode pairs, wherein each electrode of each pair is connected to an electrode in an adjacent pair in the respective series by an electrical path, and a dielectric layer disposed on the at least three series of interdigitated electrode pairs, the dielectric layer comprising one or more sub layers. The at least three series of interdigitated electrode pairs are selectively and independently energisable to produce an electric field at a top surface of the dielectric layer so that a substance on the top surface may be manipulated by the electric field.

Abstract: An acoustofluidic device usable, e.g., in devices for printing. The acoustofluidic device has small dimensions and can be integrated into devices for the deposition of aerosols and, with a simple design, realizes a directed aerosol flow with adjustable aerosol properties. The acoustofluidic device at least includes at least one aerosol discharge component and at least one holder component and at least one feed and/or removal line each for gases, liquids, and heat, at least one electrical line and/or electrical signal line and at least one electrical high-frequency signal line and at least one component for heat transport and at least one temperature sensor and at least one microacoustic component and at least one component for the transmission of a high-frequency signal and at least one component for liquid transport and at least one transport gas component and at least one component for positioning and/or mechanical fixing.
