New research reveals that charge buildup at water-repellent surfaces occurs mainly when droplets detach. The process is ...

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, ...

With the continuous advancement of biomedical research toward high-throughput, precision, and personalized approaches, traditional experimental methods have shown obvious limitations in reaction ...

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 ...

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 ...

Working with nanoliter volumes requires specialized devices and techniques capable of precise fluid handling and manipulation. Some key tools and methods used in nanoliter-scale research include: ...

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, ...

Scientists once performed experiments in test tubes, then reduced the size of reaction volumes to fit into wells in microtiter plates. Now, RainDance Technologies plans to miniaturize reactions even ...
