How the World Flows: Microfluidics from Raindrops to Covid Tests

How the World Flowsacts like a microscope that pulls the listener into the barely noticeable, Lilliputian world of fluids at small scales-the microfluidic world-and answers the question "What is microfluidics?" in non-technical language.

Microfluidics is the field of science that studies fluids constrained to spaces that are smaller than one millimeter wide, and by extension, the engineering field which builds devices that exploit the unique properties of fluids at these scales. Author Alber...
