Wireless and programmable manipulation of droplets is a challenge. We addressed this challenge by a combination of magnetic fluids and hybrid magnetic fields. We investigated the remote, wireless and programmable manipulation of ferrofluid droplets in a capillary microfluidic platform by a combinati...
