Researchers found that treating the same material at different stages of preparation could produce controllable valves for microfluidic devices. On the left, the material was stretched after treatment, resulting in cracks. On the right, the material was stretched before treatment and released, producing wrinkles. The bottom images are close ups of a crack and a wrinkle, respectively. Image: Huanyu "Larry" Cheng/Penn State

Size matters when it comes to sorting biological materials.
