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, ...

A research group has developed a novel and highly accessible technology for producing uniform biomolecular condensates using ...

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 ...

Whether it's Greek ouzo, French pastis or Turkish raki, when these spirits are diluted with water, the mixture becomes cloudy ...

In a world first, scientists in Germany have successfully recorded tiny oil droplets hovering within a flowing liquid, and ...
