Sentences with phrase «in microdroplets»

From previous experiments, the scientists knew that some chemical reactions proceed much faster in microdroplets than in larger solution volumes.

Indeed, the team observed that gold nanoparticle grew over 100,000 times faster in microdroplets.

Not exact matches

In addition, the material is capable of «microdroplet manipulation,» or the transfer of miniature volumes of liquid.

«Salvinia effect» also has potential for liquid - handling technology that executes «microdroplet manipulation» — a breakthrough where the adhesion of liquid to a robotic arm can be tuned accordingly and result in non-loss transfer for very tiny amounts of liquid.

The key ingredient in «thubber» is a suspension of non-toxic, liquid metal microdroplets.

Another negative mechanism: Microdroplets of oil dispersed in the water might set off a feeding frenzy of microbes able to dine on the hydrocarbons, further reducing oxygen levels.

Whereas fog is made of ready - made microdroplets floating in the air, dew appears following the cooling of a substrate below air temperature.

It's still unclear why water microdroplets are able to replace a reducing agent in this reaction.

Previous work has given insights into the mechanistic pathways leading to small molecule sequestration in membrane - free coacervate protocells; successfully demonstrated the use of liquid - liquid phase separated micro compartments for protein expression using cell free expression systems; exploited microfluidics for the high throughput formation of stable, monodisperse microdroplets; and integrated two contrasting modes of protocell construction to produce a novel hybrid model based on fatty acid membrane - bound coacervate micro-droplets.
