3D Optofluidic Control Using Reconfigurable Thermal Barriers

We introduce an optofluidic toolbox using structured light and photothermal conversion to create reconfigurable fluidic boundaries. This approach enables dynamic 3D thermal landscapes, demonstrating reconfigurability for precise particle steering and size-based sorting in heterogeneous mixtures.
