MICROFLUIDIC FLUID FLOW IN A TARGET FLUID

One example includes a device that may include a heating element and a molecular binding site. The heating element may heat a fluid volume, interfaced with the heating element, in response to a voltage being applied to the heating element, the heat transforming the fluid volume from a liquid state into a vaporized state to generate fluid motion within the fluid volume. The molecular binding site may be disposed proximate to the heating element, in which a portion of the fluid volume expands when the fluid volume transforms from the liquid state into the vaporized state, the vaporized state of the fluid volume generating the fluid motion within a target fluid that is disposed within the molecular binding site.
