Synchronous Universal Droplet Logic

摘要

A magnetic-hydrodynamic force fluid logic controller is provide that includes a solid or flexible or flexible substrate, a fluid chamber disposed above the substrate, where the chamber includes a fluid under test that includes an active magnet, where the active magnet is disposed to control a magnetic north pole of the droplet and a magnetic south pole of the droplet, a two-dimensional distribution of magnetic elements a surface the solid or flexible substrate, where the magnetic elements comprise a magnetization in a magnetic north pole and magnetization in a magnetic south pole, where the magnetic elements are activated by an external magnetic field of the active magnet, where the droplets have a droplet magnetization, where the droplet magnetization is configured for droplet self-interaction by the magnetic elements and the active magnet, where the self-interaction comprises splitting, merging, propagation, logic, storage, memory and all possible combinations of logical circuit operations.
