Optofluidics could improve energy applications

(PhysOrg.com) — The ability to manipulate light and fluids on a single chip, broadly called “optofluidics,” has led to such technologies as liquid-crystal displays and liquid-filled optical fibers for fast data transfer. Optofluidics is now also on the cusp of improving such green technologies as solar-powered bioreactors, say Cornell researchers.
