Wetting ridge assisted programmed magnetic actuation of droplets on ferrofluid-infused surface
The actuation of droplets is necessary for several applications, including the quantitative bioanalysis of viruses. Here, authors show a programmable magnetic actuation method to manipulate droplets of various kinds by making use of the spontaneously formed ferrofluid wetting ridges around each drop...
