Go with the flow: A concept of nematofluidics that provides a simple, programmable, and hierarchically branched architecture of microfluidics where a nematic liquid crystal (LC) is used as an anisotropic fluid (see picture) is presented. Based on anisotropic flow resistance this method provides a fast and hierarchical channel selection in microfluidics.
