Programmable Micofluidics

October 3, 2007 lecture by Bill Thies for the Stanford University Computer Systems Colloquium (EE 380). Bill Thies provides an overview of microfluidic technologies from a computer science perspective, highlight areas in the which computer science researchers can contribute to this field; he will also describe recent work in developing new architectures, programming languages, and CAD tools for the microfluidic domain.

Good conception. Merry Christmas everyone!

The fluid volumes should eventually become small enough to encase them in magnetic fields. That'll solve fluid loss problems (24:24). It might even be a way of moving the fluids around.

As for the "aah", I have to admit I've never heard such a thing with this particular inflection. Sticks out like a sore thumb.

@frag971 really funny.....sounds great....

The a is really annoying, ruining an otherwise nice presentation :(

@frag971 probably "amino acid", though I haven't watched the whole video.

Why is he always saying "aa" randomly? What does it mean? :S
