Surface tension can sort droplets for biomedical applications

Surface tension can sort droplets for biomedical applications: A team led by Colorado State University's Arun Kota has engineered a simple and inexpensive device that can sort droplets of liquid based solely on the liquids' varying surface tensions.  They used Tunable Superomniphobic Surfaces for Sorting Droplets by Surface Tension that could make a wide range of biomedical applications using a Lab-on-a-Chip like device.  BAM!
