Abstract

The paper presents the significance of microfluidic technology in advancing Molecular Communications (MC). It highlights the transition from theoretical MC models to practical applications, emphasizing the role of microfluidics in validating and advancing MC concepts. The paper covers various aspects including theoretical principles, simulation tools, practical realizations, and envisioned applications. We also present various microfluidic testbeds, detailing their design, capabilities, and applications in advancing MC. To bridge the gap between theoretical models and practical outcomes in MC, this work demonstrates the potential of microfluidics in the practical realization of MC systems.

期刊介绍： As a result of recent advances in MEMS/NEMS and systems biology, as well as the emergence of synthetic bacteria and lab/process-on-a-chip techniques, it is now possible to design chemical “circuits”, custom organisms, micro/nanoscale swarms of devices, and a host of other new systems. This success opens up a new frontier for interdisciplinary communications techniques using chemistry, biology, and other principles that have not been considered in the communications literature. The IEEE Transactions on Molecular, Biological, and Multi-Scale Communications (T-MBMSC) is devoted to the principles, design, and analysis of communication systems that use physics beyond classical electromagnetism. This includes molecular, quantum, and other physical, chemical and biological techniques; as well as new communication techniques at small scales or across multiple scales (e.g., nano to micro to macro; note that strictly nanoscale systems, 1-100 nm, are outside the scope of this journal). Original research articles on one or more of the following topics are within scope: mathematical modeling, information/communication and network theoretic analysis, standardization and industrial applications, and analytical or experimental studies on communication processes or networks in biology. Contributions on related topics may also be considered for publication. Contributions from researchers outside the IEEE’s typical audience are encouraged.
