Physical Review Letters, 2019 A \textit{walker} is a droplet of liquid that self-propels on the free surface of an oscillating bath of the same liquid through feedback between the droplet and its wave field. We have studied walking droplets in the presence of two driving frequencies and have observed a new class of walking droplets, which we coin \textit{superwalkers}. Superwalkers

The Laboratory in a Droplet [PDF]
Chemistry & Biology, 2005 In this issue of Chemistry and Biology, the groups of Tawfik and Griffiths present fluorescence-activated cell sorting of double emulsions as a generally applicable screen for enzyme activity. This novel methodology increases the throughput of a typical enzyme screen by two orders of magnitude.

The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2021 In the absence of external fields, interfacial tensions between different phases dictate the equilibrium morphology of a multiphase system. Depending on the relative magnitudes of these interfacial tensions, a composite system made up of immiscible fluids in contact with one another can exhibit contrasting behavior: the formation of lenses in one case ...

The vortex-driven dynamics of droplets within droplets [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 AbstractUnderstanding the fluid-structure interaction is crucial for an optimal design and manufacturing of soft mesoscale materials. Multi-core emulsions are a class of soft fluids assembled from cluster configurations of deformable oil-water double droplets (cores), often employed as building-blocks for the realisation of devices of interest in bio ...

Graphene Oxide Paper Manipulation of Micro-Reactor Drops
Micromachines, 2023 Digital microfluidics, which relies on the movement of drops, is relatively immune to clogging problems, making it suited for micro-reactor applications.

Modeling of Al and Ga Droplet Nucleation during Droplet Epitaxy or Droplet Etching [PDF]
Nanomaterials, 2021 The temperature dependent density of Al and Ga droplets deposited on AlGaAs with molecular beam epitaxy is studied theoretically. Such droplets are important for applications in quantum information technology and can be functionalized e.g., by droplet epitaxy or droplet etching for the self-assembled generation of quantum emitters.

On the lifetimes of evaporating droplets [PDF]
, 2014 The complete description of the lifetime of a droplet on a solid substrate evaporating in a 'stick–slide' mode is obtained. The unexpectedly subtle relationship between the lifetime of such a droplet and the lifetimes of initially identical droplets ...

Annual Review of Biophysics, 2020 Liquid–liquid phase separation is emerging as the universal mechanism by which membraneless cellular granules form. Despite many previous studies on condensation of intrinsically disordered proteins and low complexity domains, we lack understanding about the role of RNA, which is the essential component of all ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules. RNA, as
