Microfluidics
Sources:
Lex Fridman has covered the topic of microfluidics in various discussions on his podcast. One notable conversation about the subject is with . Gershenfeld explains how microfluidic bubble logic was developed, recounting an inventive solution where bubbles in fluid channels were used to create switches, memory, and logic gates. This technology was later applied to building a 50-cent microscope and in genome transplantation for synthetic life creation 1.
Another mention of microfluidics is by , discussing its use in RNA amplification technology. Kellis describes how microfluidics was used to handle individual cells, marking their RNA with unique barcodes, thus allowing for the precise sequencing and identification of RNA molecules 2.
