| Abstract | Reproducible, adjustable, and massive liquid droplet generation techniques are pivotal in wide applications, such as emulsion production, digital chemical and biological assay, single cell analysis, drug delivery, and nanoparticle synthesis. However, the state-of-the-art droplet generation systems heavily rely on mechanical components, including pumps, centrifuges, or mixers, which is bulky and difficult to control the droplet uniformity. In this project, a novel electrical method, electrowettin |
