Subject verb
"A series of slanted wells were created at the junction of a T-microchannel" or "A series of slanted wells was created at the junction of a T-microchannel" which of these sentence is correct.
Top answer
Grammatically, 'a series. was'. As far as what people would use, however, much would depend on how they viewed the creation: several slanted wells being created one after the other, or the series as a single entity stamped (or whatever the physical process is) into the junction.

It is singular because the verb here refers to "a series" (NOT wells).
Note: The plural noun of the word "series" is the same.
Either "series" can be singular or plural.
But here we can see "a" in "a series", so it is singular.
