Embedded droplet printing in yield-stress fluids

Good news! Amazing stuff!

"The discovery can transform a range of scientific applications including the study of biological and chemical processes, and can pave the way for more exquisite and targeted pharmaceutical and consumer products."

"Conventional microfluidic methods primarily rely on fluids that behave in simple ways, like water. Yield-stress fluids are materials that behave in a complex way, dramatically transitioning between solid-like and liquid-like behavior, depending on an applied stress. We introduce embedded droplet printing—a system for the generation and manipulation of fluid droplets within yield-stress fluids."


SMART announces new method for processing fluid droplets | MIT News: Researchers at the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology and the National University of Singapore have developed a unique method for generating and processing fluid droplets under previously unattainable conditions. Microfluidics enables researchers to create unique environment for developing medicine, paving the way for more potent, high-quality drugs.
