Abstract
Abstract Applying an external electric field over a polarizable electrode or object within microchannels can induce an electric double layer (EDL) around channel walls and create induced-charge electrokinetics (ICEK) within channels. The primary consequence of the induced charge is the generation of micro-vortices around the polarizable electrode or object, presenting great potential for various microfluidic applications. This review presents the advances in theoretical, numerical and experimental studies on the physics and applications of ICEK within microfluidics. In particular, the characteristics and performance of ICEK-based microfluidic components in active micromixers, micropumps, and microvalves are critically reviewed, followed by discussing the applications of ICEK in electrophoresis and particle/cell manipulation within microfluidics. Furthermore, the opportunities and challenges of ICEK-based microfluidic devices are highlighted. This work facilitates recognizing deliverable ICEK-based microfluidic technologies with unprecedented functionality for the next generation of biomedical applications with predictable manufacturability and functionality.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
