Core-shell particles for acoustic metamaterials by millifluidics
Wunenburger and coworkers at the University of Bordeaux and the CNRS have used millifluidics to create hard core-soft shell microparticles.
Enhancing fertility by microfluidics and biophotonics
Lab-on-a-chip method, when combined with biophotonics, can be used to assay for metabolites, to separate gametes via optoelectrical tweezers, or to improve the vitrification of oocytes.
