Microfluidics

Microfluidics is like a miniature plumbing system, but for tiny amounts of liquid, like a drop of water. Imagine you have a toy city with houses, stores, and streets. Now imagine that you have tiny pipes going through the city that carry special liquids like blood, chemicals or medicines.

These pipes are so small that you can't see them without a special microscope. But they are like tiny highways that guide the liquids to where they need to go. And just like real highways, they have different lanes and off-ramps.

Scientists use microfluidics to study small amounts of liquids, like blood samples or tiny reactions between different chemicals. They can use it to create tiny chips that can test for diseases or to deliver tiny amounts of medicine to specific parts of the body.

So, microfluidics is like a Lego city with tiny pipes that carry liquids and help scientists do cool experiments and help people stay healthy!
