On page 758, Z. Wang and co‐workers report a simple yet powerful approach that allows for the formation of various emulsions in an on‐site manner without the need for precise flow control. This method takes advantage of the valve nature of air plugs, which are usually undesirable in the microfluidic system because of their detrimental effect on the system's stability and integrity. This technique is ideal for the development of affordable lab‐on‐a‐chip systems without suffering from the scalability and manufacturing challenges of conventional droplet microfluidics.

液滴微流控技术：受控气塞在现场形成乳液（Small 4/2014）

在第758页，Z。Wang及其同事报告了一种简单而有效的方法，该方法无需现场进行精确的流量控制即可以现场方式形成各种乳液。该方法利用了空气塞的阀特性，这在微流体系统中通常是不希望的，因为它们会对系统的稳定性和完整性造成不利影响。该技术是开发负担得起的芯片实验室系统的理想选择，而不会受到传统微滴微流控技术的可扩展性和制造挑战的困扰。
