Electromagnetic Liquid Pistons Could Aid in Adaptive Imaging
With simple fluid dynamics, researchers have created an electromagnetically driven liquid-piston system that could be used for small-scale adaptive optics applications.
Liquid pistons (orange and black) oscillate within a water-filled cell (blue). As one ferrofluidic piston moves up or down in response to an external electromagnetic field, the other droplets get pushed downward.
With simple fluid dynamics, researchers have created an electromagnetically driven liquid-piston system that could be used for small-scale adaptive optics applications (Lab on a Chip 11, 393).
