The Lutetium Project | Microfluidics Adventures #1: Physics at the microscale @TheLutetiumProject | Uploaded 7 years ago | Updated 1 hour ago
The Microfluidics Adventures of the Lutetium Project, part one! In this first video, we’ll tackle the physics of the microscopic world. You’ll know why the laws of physics seem so weird at the microscale...
