"We vary the size and curvature of the droplets by changing the droplet volume, resulting in a variable focusing effect." The project used a glass slide as a substrate, but enhanced the surface's ...

According to a new study, one minute of "loud speaking" produces at least 1,000 droplets that can hang in the air for over eight minutes Julie Mazziotta is the Senior Sports Editor at PEOPLE ...

Drop by drop: The team measured the electrical charge and contact areas created by water droplets spreading and contracting on a flat plate of Teflon – effectively simulating the movement of droplets ...

Prior research has shown that many contagious diseases are spread via tiny droplets expelled through the nose and mouth of infected people as they breathe. These droplets are small enough to hang ...

Tiny droplets of water in oil can serve as miniature culture vessels for living single cells and multicellular organisms. High-throughput assays using living cells have seen great advances ...

Once thought to be little more than blobs of fat inside eukaryotic cells, lipid droplets may in fact provide a first line of defence against invading pathogens, according to evidence published today ...

Turbulent air in the atmosphere affects how cloud droplets form. New research from Michigan Technological University’s cloud chamber changes the way clouds, and therefore climate, are modeled. Chat ...
