Emulsions are two-phase systems consisting of a dispersed phase (the droplets or particles) and a continuous phase (liquid diluent like water). In the dispersed phase, droplet size is critically ...

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 ...

New research from physicists at the University of Sussex will ‘significantly advance’ the new technology area of liquid electronics, enhancing the functionality and sustainability of potential ...

Physicists have coated droplets in atomically-thin graphene that can be used to wrap any liquid, in liquid tech advance. New research from physicists at the University of Sussex will 'significantly ...

The ability to 3-D print liquid inks and soft materials—such as polymers, colloidal solutions, and even living cells—is useful for tissue engineering, prosthetics, and medical applications. A new oil ...

A new liquid crystal system rapidly switches between clear and opaque states, enabling fast smart windows and controllable emulsions for material synthesis. (Nanowerk News) Cornell researchers have ...
