Its rapid development and adoption have relied not only on an efficient stabilizing system (oil and surfactant), but also on a library of modules that can manipulate droplets at a high-throughput. Droplet microfluidics is a vibrant field that keeps evolving, with advances that span technology development and applications. Recent examples include innovative methods to generate droplets, to perform single-cell encapsulation, magnetic extraction, or sorting at an even higher throughput. The trend consists of improving parameters such as robustness, throughput, or ease of use. These developments rely on a firm understanding of the physics and chemistry involved in hydrodynamic flow at a small scale. Finally, droplet microfluidics has played a pivotal role in biological applications, such as single-cell genomics or high-throughput microbial screening, and chemical applications. This Special Issue will showcase all aspects of the exciting field of droplet microfluidics, including, but not limited to, technology development, applications, and open-source systems. 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $a3D printing 610 $aair bubble 610 $adilutions 610 $adouble-emulsion drops 610 $adroplet array 610 $adroplet coalescence 610 $adroplet formation 610 $adroplet microfluidics 610 $adroplets 610 $adrug combinations 610 $aemulsification 610 $aenzyme engineering 610 $aFADS 610 $afluidic mixer 610 $aglass capillary microfluidic device 610 $ahomogeneous immunoassay 610 $ainterfacial tension 610 $alock-in detection 610 $amicrocapsules 610 $amicrofluidics 610 $aMicrofluidics 610 $amicrovalve 610 $an/a 610 $aon-chip mergers 610 $aosmotic pressure 610 $apassive sorting 610 $aphase field model 610 $aphoto-tag 610 $apneumatic valves 610 $aprogrammable droplet formation 610 $areal-time calibration 610 $ascreening 610 $asorting 610 $asynthetic biology 610 $aultra-thin-shell 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aBrouzes$b Eric$4edt$01297567 702 $aLi$b Siran$4edt 702 $aBrouzes$b Eric$4oth 702 $aLi$b Siran$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557704103321 996 $aDroplet Microfluidics$93024553 997 $aUNINA
