Christiaan Huygens attributed his 1655 discovery of Saturn’s largest moon Titan partly to “the quality of his telescope and partly to luck.” And now it seems luck has struck again in the latest Titan ...

The fluid dynamical behaviour of liquid drops and bubbles has long fascinated researchers due to its rich interplay between inertia, surface tension and viscous forces. This area of study encompasses ...

Researchers at the University of Bristol, UK, have shown that droplets of liquid can travel uphill when placed on a vertically vibrating inclined plate. 'In fact, if the plate vibrates at the right ...

Physicists have thoroughly investigated the 'coffee ring effect,' the ring-shaped stain of particles left after drops of coffee evaporate. In a article, they have uncovered the complex and remarkably ...

Save your breath: A new way to make bubbles requires only sound waves. Scientists made the bubbles in levitated drops of liquid, held aloft with sound waves. Tweaking the sound waves caused the ...

New research published in Nature reveals that, when cooled, droplets containing chain-like liquid crystal molecules transform from spheres into complex shapes such as flowers, corals, and fibrous ...
