We developed a microfluidic device that enables selective droplet extraction from multiple droplet-trapping pockets based on dielectrophoresis. The device consists of a main microchannel, five droplet-trapping pockets with side channels, and drive el...

At present, multi-disease fundus image classification tasks still have the problems of small data volumes, uneven distributions, and low classification accuracy. In order to solve the problem of large data demand of deep learning models, a multi-dise...

The self-cleaning ability of superhydrophobic metal surfaces has attracted extensive attention. The preparation of superhydrophobic material using the coating method is a common processing method. In this experiment, aluminum fins were processed by l...

The plastic deformation behavior and microstructural changes in workpieces during ultra-precision machining have piqued the interest of many researchers. In this study, a molecular dynamics simulation of nano-cutting iron-carbon alloy (α-Fe) is...

To explore the versatility of speakers, a piezoelectric micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) speaker combining the function of a silent alarm is proposed, which mainly comprises a lead zirconate titanate (PZT) actuation layer and a rigid–flex...

Ta2O5 coatings were created using micro-arc discharges (MDs) during anodization on a tantalum substrate in a sodium phosphate electrolyte (10 g/L Na3PO4·10H2O). During the process, the size of MDs increases while the number of MDs decreases. T...

Photolithographic patterning of components and integrated circuits based on active polymers for microfluidics is challenging and not always efficient on a laboratory scale using the traditional mask-based fabrication procedures. Here, we present an a...

Integrating microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) actuators with low-loss suspended silicon nitride waveguides enables the precise alignment of these waveguides to other photonic integrated circuits (PICs). This requires both in-plane and out-of-plan...

The measurement of in-plane motion in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) is a challenge for existing measurement techniques due to the small size of the moving devices and the low amplitude of motion. This paper studied the possibility of using im...

As an important deterministic error of the inertial measurement unit (IMU), the installation error has a serious impact on the navigation accuracy of the strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS). The impact becomes more severe in a highly dynamic...
