Taking advantage of the precise control over the fluid flows in microchannels, droplet microfluidics has enjoyed a tremendous success in enabling synthesis of highly uniform and uniquely structured ...

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 ...

Characterizing cells as completely as possible is crucial in the development of a biopharmaceutical. At the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, Håkan Jönsson, PhD, associate ...

Tsukuba, Japan—As science races toward automation and quick experiments, it is sometimes required to concurrently handle small amounts of liquids (droplets), from picoliters to microliters. Moreover, ...

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 ...

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, ...

Over the last two decades, ongoing research in microfluidics has faced challenges in applications due to the restricted productivity of microdroplets. In a recent study, researchers from Chiba ...

Tiny gel droplets enhanced with University of Queensland technology could open new pathways to repairing and replacing damaged organs. Dr. Ruirui Qiao and her team at UQ's Australian Institute for ...

It's general knowledge that heat is a significant problem with modern microprocessors. Intel and AMD have collectively held the line at 140W maximum TDP (thermal design power) for the past decade, ...

Whether it's Greek ouzo, French pastis or Turkish raki, when these spirits are diluted with water, the mixture becomes cloudy. The reason for this is that the aniseed oils contained in the spirit ...
