Engineers explore microfluidics with LEGO bricks

The field of microfluidics involves minute devices that precisely manipulate fluids at submillimeter scales. Such devices typically take the form of flat, two-dimensional chips, etched with tiny channels and ports that are arranged to perform various operations, such as mixing, sorting, pumping, and storing fluids as they flow. Now scientists, looking beyond such lab-on-a-chip designs, have found an alternative microfluidics platform LEGO bricks.
