Snapshots of splashes are nothing new, but few have mastered the art of freezing incredible shapes in water the way Markus Reugels has. His splash photography is mind-boggling, especially knowing Keep reading

Splashing on Spheres
The splash of a droplet is a surprisingly complex phenomenon, depending not only on the droplet’s characteristics but also the surrounding air pressure, the roughness and temperature of the impact Keep reading
Outtakes
When filming, things don’t always go according to plan. Glasses break, splashes obscure your subject, and sometimes effects just don’t turn out the way you expect. But if you’re the Keep reading
“Playing With Time”
The Macro Room team is back with this clever video that messes with our perception of time. I’d hate to give anything away here, so just go check it out! Keep reading
The Two-Faced Splash
The way a sphere enters water depends on its size, speed, and surface properties. A hydrophilic (water-attracting) sphere behaves differently than a hydrophobic (water-repelling) one. But what happens when the Keep reading
Freezing Splats
In fluid physics, there’s often a tug of war between different effects. For droplets falling onto a surface colder than their freezing point, the hydrodynamics of impact, sudden heat transfer, Keep reading
Aging Fluids
If you’ve ever left a sealed container of Playdoh untouched for months, you know that there’s a big difference between the fresh stuff and what’s left in that can. Aging Keep reading
Droplets on Inclined Walls
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
Particle-filled Splashes
Adding particles to a liquid can significantly alter its splash dynamics, as shown in this new study. In the first image, a purely-liquid droplet spreads on impact into a thin Keep reading
Pearls On a Puddle
Leave a drop of coffee sitting on a surface and it will leave behind a ring of particulates once the water evaporates. But what happens to a droplet made up Keep reading
