A device for producing branched structures is provided which includes an enclosed cell enclosed by two sheets with a port in at least one of the sheets and an injection device connected to the port. The enclosed cell may also include a boundary joining the two sheets. A method is also provided for producing branched structures, wherein fluids of differing viscosities are injected into an enclosed cell and the fluid of lower viscosity branches into the fluid of higher viscosity. The branching of the fluid can be modified using contoured or textured surfaces of the enclosed cell, injecting or evacuating the fluids during branch formation, or impressing a stencil or stamp over a surface of the enclosed cell. |
