Growing Droplets
The moisture in clouds eventually condenses into droplets that grow into raindrops and fall. Some steps in this process are well understood, but others are not. In particular, scientists have Keep reading
Sorting by Bubble
Microfluidic devices, also known as labs-on-a-chip, require clever techniques for processes like sorting particles by size. One such technique uses an oscillating bubble to sort particles. When the bubble vibrates Keep reading
When Chaos is Not So Chaotic
In industry, tanks are often agitated or stirred to mix different elements. The goal is to create a laminar but chaotic flow field throughout the mixture. Introducing particles to such Keep reading
