Moving Droplets
Microfluidic devices – such as those used by individuals with diabetes to monitor their blood glucose levels – are all about transport. Typically, these devices use some kind of externally Keep reading
Collecting Water in the Desert
Desert-dwelling plants like cactuses have to be efficient collectors of water. Many types of cactus are particularly good at gathering water from fog that condenses on their spines. Droplets that Keep reading
