liquid metal
droplets, together with their oxide skin, can be manipulated and
used.

droplets, or jet aerosols, cast upward as bubbles on a
liquid's surface burst.
Droplets in this toroidal shape made of a liquid crystal — the same type of material used in laptop displays — may have properties very different from those of spherical droplets made from the same m

The doughnut - shaped
droplets, a shape known as toroidal, are formed from two dissimilar
liquids using a simple rotating stage and an injection needle.
Researchers measure the spray cone right down to single
droplets using laser measuring devices, study the formation and evaporation of
liquid AdBlue films on the walls of the exhaust pipe, and gauge the AdBlue breakdown all the way until the formation of the reduction agent for the nitric oxides in the adjacent catalytic converter.

droplets of
liquid metal embedded inside them
The expansion chamber will be
used to create a supercooled cloud by expansion and growth of drops at temperatures below 260 K.... In addition to experiments with supercooled
liquid droplets already present (freezing nucleation), we will also investigate ice nucleation without pre-existing
droplets (deposition nucleation).
«Probability density function,» a statistical representation of the likelihood of something occurring at any point in time, was
used to examine cloud properties, including vertical motion,
liquid and ice water content, and the conditions of cloud particle growth, including how ice crystals grow at the expense of
liquid droplets.
The Echo acoustic
droplet ejection (ADE) technology has revolutionized
liquid handling with its non-contact, high - precision, high - speed capabilities for transferring
liquids using acoustic energy.
Using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, computer simulations and microscopy, the researchers showed how disease mutations and arginine methylation, a functional modification common to a large family of proteins with low - complexity domains, altered the formation of the
liquid droplets and their conversion to solid - like states in disease.
The Berkeley Lab study, which
used fruit fly and mouse cells, will be published alongside a companion paper in Nature led by UC San Francisco researchers, who showed that the human version of the HP1a protein has the same
liquid droplet properties, suggesting that similar principles hold for human heterochromatin.
It will
use nozzles to deposit tiny
liquid droplets of semiconductor polymer materials on a plastic substrate to form circuits in much the same way that inkjets print type on paper.
The most significant changes in the new D - series cloud datasets are: 1) revised radiance calibrations to remove spurious changes in the long - term record, 2) increased cirrus detection sensitivity over land, 3) increased low - level cloud detection sensitivity in polar regions, 4) reduced biases in cirrus cloud properties
using an ice crystal microphysics model in place of a
liquid droplet microphysics model, and 5) increased detail about the variations of cloud properties.
