“…Rapid corrosion of magnesium alloys is undesirable in structural and biomedical applications and a general way to control corrosion is to form a surface barrier layer isolating the bulk materials from the external environment. Herein, based on the insights gained from the anticorrosion behavior of corrosion products, a special way to mitigate aqueous corrosion is described. …”

“…However, the existing actuation mechanisms to manipulate the target samples and fabrication procedures involved in the microwell-based microfluidic devices are complex, resource-intensive and require an external power source. In this work, we present proof of concept of a simple, power-free and low-cost closed magnet digital microfluidics device for isolating biological entities in femtoliter-sized microwells. …”
