Researchers have discovered that water generates an electrical charge up to 10 times greater than previously understood when it moves across a surface. The team observed when a water droplet ...

A hybrid approach simulates the breakup and entrapment of water droplets in hypersonic vehicles’ air flow fields.

On impacting a hypersonic vehicle, water droplets can break up into a cloud of smaller ones. The team behind the new study tested how these clouds interact with two types of canonical geometries.

Then, when the oxygen was added, the reaction took off, forming water at the surface. Though the experiment was on a small scale, the potential applications are vast.

If the surface is at least 400° Fahrenheit (well above the boiling point of water), cushions of water vapor, or steam, form underneath them, keeping them levitated.

Thin oil films absorbed onto the surface of water droplets lead to anomalously stable, surfactant-free oil and water mixtures, according to a new study. The findings demonstrate a mechanism for ...

Understanding the deposition of micro- or nano-particles is central to designing innovative bioassays, biosensors, functional surfaces and ink-jet printing. An evaporating droplet containing colloidal ...
