Surface tension-driven self-alignment.
Surface tension-driven self-alignment is a passive and highly-accurate positioning mechanism that can significantly simplify and enhance the construction of advanced microsystems. After years of research, demonstrations and developments, the surface engineering and manufacturing technology enabling capillary self-alignment has achieved a degree of maturity conducive to a successful transfer to ...
متن کاملAlgorithmic design of self-folding polyhedra.
Self-assembly has emerged as a paradigm for highly parallel fabrication of complex three-dimensional structures. However, there are few principles that guide a priori design, yield, and defect tolerance of self-assembling structures. We examine with experiment and theory the geometric principles that underlie self-folding of submillimeter-scale higher polyhedra from two-dimensional nets. In par...
متن کاملSurface Tension-driven Flow in A
We consider an inviscid fluid, initially at rest inside a wedge, bounded by one free surface and one solid surface. When t = 0, we allow the contact angle to change discontinuously, which leads the free surface to recoil under the action of surface tension. As noted by Keller and Miksis [SIAM J. Appl. Math., 43 (1983), pp. 268–277], a similarity scaling is available, with lengths scaling like t...
متن کاملSurface Tension Driven Transport Using Roughness
Surface tension, a line force, is a unique type of force, which scales directly to length. When the dimension of interest shrinks down to sub-millimeter range, the size range typical for MEMS devices, surface-tension force becomes dominant over most other forces, such as those based on pressure (surface force) or mass (body force), e.g., see [1,2]. This dominance of surface tension has most typ...
متن کاملLanguage Boundaries Driven by Surface Tension
H uman language is unique among communication systems in being a cultural system characterized by prodigious and pervasive variation and flux on many dimensions [1, 2]. Until the advent of global communication, linguistic varieties were predominantly localized to spatially bound areas, and much research in dialectology has been devoted to understanding the shape and distribution of these dialec...
