To 3D print with fiber-infused liquids, we need to understand how these drops form, break-up, and splash. That’s the subject of this research poster, which shows drops of a fiber Keep reading

Draining a Bottle
Turn a bottle upside-down to empty it, and you’ll hear a loud glug-glug-glug as the liquid in the bottle empties and air rushes in. In this video, researchers aim a Keep reading
Liquids Pinching Off
There is a surprising variety of forms in the pinch-off of a liquid drop. This short video shows three examples, and you’ll probably find yourself replaying it a few times Keep reading
Entering a Viscous Liquid
When a solid object impacts on a liquid a cavity typically forms, entraining air into the pool. But this behavior varies widely according to the surface of the solid as Keep reading
Pinch-Off
This high-speed video reveals a fascinating bit of kitchen sink physics. When a water droplet pinches off from the nozzle, the thin filament of fluid that connected the droplet to Keep reading
Liquids Lens Breakup
A decane liquid lens floating on water (think drops of fat in chicken soup) displays different breakup and pinch-off than seen in three-dimensional droplet breakup. The pinch-off process in two Keep reading
