Precision in droplet formation is key to advancing lab-on-a-chip technologies. Now, researchers have unveiled a user-friendly method that generates individual droplets on demand with pinpoint accuracy ...

Droplet creation is a crucial but challenging subject in microfluidics. Depending on the application, the objective is to produce droplets of a particular size. Two immiscible phases are used in ...

Emulsions are mixtures of two insoluble liquids, in which one of the liquids exists as a dispersion of small droplets in the other. They are quite common in everyday life; milk, butter, facial creams, ...

A new study has presented and characterized the formation and properties of a superparamagnetic ring, which fits snugly around a drop of water due to liquid-liquid interaction, and allows the drops to ...

A novel study demonstrates that droplets at a miniscule level can be precisely controlled, opening new avenues in micro-scale systems. (Nanowerk News) Scientists from the Research Center for Materials ...

How fast does a droplet flow along a fiber? It depends on the diameter of the fiber... and also on its substructure! These are the findings of a study conducted by researchers who are interested in ...

A humble droplet can be an immensely useful tool for a number of fields, from medicine to manufacturing. Controlling the size of the droplet, though, is an important—and very tricky—task. With ...

The vast majority of motors that we care about all stick to a theme. They rely on the electromagnetic dance between electrons and magnets to create motion. They come in all shapes and sizes and types, ...
