What is Acoustofluidics?

Acoustofluidics is an emerging technology that utilises high-frequency acoustic waves in various fluid mechanics applications, such as micro-cooling, microcentrifugation, micromixing, liquid jetting and atomisation. Fluids behave very differently on the micrometric scale in everyday life: these unique features are the key to new scientific experiments and innovations. It is a multidisciplinary field that involves engineering, physics, chemistry, biochemistry, nanotechnology and biotechnology. The discovery of the ability to effectively manipulate fluids and particles at small scales has yielded results that are superior to other approaches and has been built into a diverse range of research.
