Inkjet printing is the most widespread technological application of microfluidics. It is
characterized by its high drop productivity, small volumes, and extreme reproducibility. This …

The evaporation of a sessile droplet of liquid is a complex and multifaceted fundamental
topic of enduring scientific interest that is key to numerous physical and biological …

Understanding and manipulating gas bubble evolution during electrochemical water
splitting is a crucial strategy for optimizing the electrode/electrolyte/gas bubble interface …

Wetting and evaporation of sessile droplets are ubiquitous in nature and of importance to
many industrial and everyday processes. While most of the research on sessile droplets has …

Phase separation is the thermodynamic process that explains how droplets form in
multicomponent fluids. These droplets can provide controlled compartments to localize …

Taxis is an instinctive behavior of living organisms to external dangers or benefits. Here, we
report a taxis-like behavior associated with liquid droplets on charged substrates in …

A common feature of many free surface flows—drop/bubble breakup or coalescence and
film/sheet rupture—is the occurrence of hydrodynamic singularities. Accurately computing …

Droplets of alcohol-based formulations are common in applications from sanitizing sprays to
printing inks. However, our understanding of the drying dynamics of these droplets on …

Motility is the capacity for living organisms to move autonomously and with purpose, and is
essential to life. The transition from abiotic chemistry into motile cellular compartments has …

The synthetic pathways of life's building blocks are envisaged to be through a series of
complex prebiotic reactions and processes. However, the strategy to compartmentalize and …
