Photograph of a Prototype Mixer

Caption

This is a photograph of a prototype mixer (with 3-mm wide channels) that can be downscaled for microfluidic applications. Mixing of blue and yellow liquids was by a paddle attached to the middle of a carbon nanotube yarn that was half immersed in electrolyte and rotated in opposite directions by alternately applying 0 V and -3 V to the yarn. (B, C) Close up photographs of the paddle and surrounding liquid before and during mixing, respectively.
