Our electrowetting set-up consists of a bottom copper electrode coated with a thin insulating layer of dielectric (uncured polydimethylsiloxane) and a platinum wire upper electrode in contact with the sessile gold nanofluid droplet sitting on the dielectric layer. EWOD experiments are conducted with...
