Wet Masks Block Droplets Better
As wearing face masks for long periods has become more typical, you may have wondered whether a soggy mask offers less protection. All masks — cloth, surgical, and N-95s — Keep reading

In deserts around the world, plants have adapted to collect as much moisture as they can. Geometry aids them in this endeavor because droplets on the tip of a cone Keep reading
Illnesses like COVID-19 can spread through droplets and aerosols produced by coughing, sneezing, or even speaking. New research looks at how regular speech patterns produce a spray of droplets. Researchers Keep reading
When a droplet impacts an inclined surface, it spreads asymmetrically. The splash shape is largely elliptical, as researchers found when modeling such impacts over a range of inclination angles. Understanding Keep reading
