Although the study of l ows that meet this criteria dates back at least hundreds of years, and technologies that knowingly exploit the prop- erties of such l ows (e.g., lubrication) are similarly antiquated, the resurgence in research in this area has occurred largely due to the advancements in microfabrication, which led to the ability to con- struct two-dimensional microchannel networks. As a result of this resurgence, when we think about microl uidics now, we think of the well-known tec
