Sentences with phrase «by tiny droplets»

Landing on a substrate and on each other, the «leaves» were still moist enough to bond as though attached at critical points by tiny droplets of glue.

Not exact matches

Ultrasonic vibration: As the tiny droplets are created by «shaking» the water, ultrasonic vibration also kills germs.

That approach — known as electrospray ionization — ionizes large molecules by dissolving them in a solvent and using an intense electric field to pull tiny charged droplets of solution from the end of a needle.

Ho and her colleagues created these delicate structures by attaching droplets of liquid gallium to tiny silicon wires and immersing them in a gas containing methane.

It would have to be a process that magnified the tiny effect of the atomic particle itself, as the condensation of droplets in supersaturated vapor magnifies the ionization produced by a particle in a cloud chamber.

On their own, aerosol particles are tiny; when a cloud droplet becomes a rain droplet, it grows by a factor of a million as droplets crash and coalesce together.

Beetles can skate across water by decreasing the surface tension - now tiny engines made from droplets, nanopowder and laser light are using the same trick

The findings may have implications in a variety of applications, he says, such as painting, producing synthetic fibers, and performing mass spectrometry, to name a few that depend on the precise control of tiny droplets of liquid augmented by electric fields.

He made the particles by atomizing a dispersion of graphene - based sheets into tiny water droplets.

«We have used a droplet of water to measure the water - repellent properties of a surface by recording the very tiny nanonewton force when the droplet touches the surface and when it separates from the surface.

Or take the Greek alcohol ouzo — it turns cloudy white when you add water, because it's an emulsion of tiny droplets of oil (the alcohol) destabilized by the water molecules.

The tiny particles (they're just 1 to 20 millionths of a meter across) are created by exposing droplets of melted metal to oxygen, creating an oxidation layer that coats the droplets and stops the liquid metal from turning solid.

Jan van Hest and his PhD candidate Ruud Peters created their organelles by filling tiny spheres with chemicals and placing these inside a water droplet.

A team of scientists led by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory atmospheric researcher Dr. Susannah Burrows and collaborator Daniel McCoy, who studies clouds and climate at the University of Washington, reveal how tiny natural particles given off by marine organisms — airborne droplets and solid particles called aerosols — nearly double cloud droplet numbers in the summer, which boosts the amount of sunlight reflected back to space.

Literally taking inspiration from a trashcan of scrunched up paper, the engineers came up with a way of crumpling graphene sheets into balls by first atomizing them into tiny water droplets.

Secondly, bile is a wonderful emulsifier, which means that it breaks up the fats that you've eaten into tiny droplets so that they are readily digested by the pancreatic enzyme lipase.

For example, in the tips of those villi that can be destroyed by inflammation are «lacteals», which are responsible for breaking fat down into tiny, absorbable droplets (26).

He later invented his Texturologies — abstract paintings which adapted the traditional Tyrolean technique used by plasterers: Dubuffet covered his canvas in layers of tiny droplets of paint, and combined it with materials including collaged elements and sand.

Inspired by the emotional restraint of American Color Field painting, he developed a meticulous method in which he distributes tiny droplets of paint across his surfaces to create a vibratory effect.

This substantial and rapid change of phase permits large ice crystals in a cloud surrounded by a large number of supercooled cloud droplets to grow quickly (often in less than 15 minutes) from tiny ice crystals to snowflakes.
