Abstract

By exploiting the resonant coupling between a travelling wave and the stationary modes of a cavity, we present the first scheme for integrated automatic interaction-free surface acoustic wave routing of fluids. Our scheme opens the way to the implementation of logic gates based on instantaneous liquid distribution.
