The unique ability of chaotic advection under micro-scale confinement todirect chemical processes along accelerated kinetic pathways has long beenrecognized. But practical applications have been slow to emerge because optimalresults are often counter-intuitively achieved in flows that appear to possessundesirably high disorder. Here we demonstrate how thermally actuated chaoticphenomena within these microenvironments are capable of establishing acontinuous conveyor transporting chemical compounds from the bulk to targetedlocations on solid boundaries where they become greatly enriched. Thesefindings intriguingly suggest that microscale chaotic advection may offer anew- mechanism to explain emergence of biomolecular complexity from diluteorganic precursors in the prebiotic milieu-a key unanswered question in theorigin of life. We further show how these flows can be rationally designed andharnessed to execute bulk biochemical processes with a level of robustnesspreviously thought unattainable.
