Cover Story: With the recent advancements in microfabrication, researchers have revisited magnetorheological micropump designs. In this study, Rubayet et al. propose a magnetorheological micropump featuring a duckbill valve. The proposed design can pump 2.45 µL of fluid during the first second and minimizes the backflow by nearly 7.5 times compared to a model without a valve. The reported model could potentially be used in a broad range of applications, such as an insulin dosing system for type 1 diabetic patients, artificial organs to transport blood, organ-on-chip applications, and so on.
