NDL performs highly multidisciplinary research spanning fundamental science to more applied work through industrial partnerships. At present, NDL has significant focus on electrowetting and electrofluidics. Such research involves the electronic control and manipulation of fluids for optical, electrical, and biological devices.
In addition to typical academic research, NDL has the practical knowledge, facilities, and a strong track-record for rapidly transforming novel concepts into commercially viable prototypes. Since 2006, NDL has partnered with numerous U.S., European, and Asian companies in pushing new technologies to market (click here for support map).
