This focused meeting is being held outside the EU for the first time in its history, and is dedicated to exploring the science, engineering, and use of micro- to nanoscale acoustofluidics.

Topics of interest:

• Nanoscale acoustofluidics
• Microscale acoustofluidics
• Integrated acoustofluidics devices for energy, chemical, biological, and medical applications
• New device ideas and technologies in acoustofluidics
• Acoustic streaming, analysis and experimentation
• Particle and bubble manipulation, separation, and isolation
• Flow generation mechanisms employing vibration of bubbles, particles, and textured surfaces
• Novel methods for measuring acoustic waves, particularly at small scales
• Phononic and mixed-mode acoustic wave devices for sensing and actuation
• Biomechanics of vibration, and the effects of acoustic waves on tissue and cells
• Fluid interface manipulation using ultrasound, including atomization, droplet generation, and thin films
• Piezoelectric transducer materials and transducer designs for micro/nano acoustofluidics, including new fabrication methods and ideas
