A collapsing bubble-based micropump for viscous liquids

Key Points

• Enhanced pumping efficiency is achieved through the use of collapsing bubbles, enabling better transport of viscous liquids.
• The collapse of bubbles generates a significant pressure gradient that aids in the movement of fluids.
• Observational analysis highlights the micropump's application in various fields requiring precise fluid handling, particularly for viscous liquids.
• This new approach supports improvements in microfluidic systems; however, further testing in larger scales is needed.
