Raindrops form inside clouds when tiny particles of water collide and stick together, forming larger droplets that eventually ...

Over the past two decades, microfluidic devices, which use technology to produce micrometer-sized droplets, have become crucial to various applications. These span chemical reactions, biomolecular ...

Light Publishing Center, Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics And Physics, CAS In an article published in Light Science & Application, a team of scientists, led by Professor Lingling Shui ...

Putting tiny magnetic particles inside ordinary water droplets can turn them into liquid acrobats – the droplets can climb steps, leap over obstacles and jump-start chemical reactions. This level of ...

Mechanical engineers have devised a diagnostic platform that uses sound waves to spin an individual drop of water up to 6000 revolutions per minute. These speeds separate tiny biological particles ...

Olive oil and water do not naturally mix. Water molecules are polar, having a net electric dipole moment due to the bend ...
