Monolith formation and ring-stain suppression in low-pressure evaporation of poly(ethylene oxide) droplets [PDF]
When droplets of dilute suspensions are left to evaporate the final dry residue is typically the familiar coffee-ring stain, with nearly all material deposited at the initial triple line (Deegan et al, Nature, vol. 389, 1997, pp. 827-829).

Droplets and aerosols: An artificial dichotomy in respiratory virus transmission
In the medical literature, three mutually non‐exclusive modes of pathogen transmission associated with respiratory droplets are usually identified: contact, droplet, and airborne (or aerosol) transmission.

Condensation of Satellite Droplets on Lubricant-Cloaked Droplets [PDF]
Condensation on lubricant-infused micro- or nanotextured superhydrophobic surfaces exhibits remarkable heat transfer performance owing to the high condensation nucleation density and efficient condensate droplet removal. When a low surface tension lubricant is used, it can spread on the condensed droplet and "cloak" it.

Hydrodynamic structures of droplets in square micro-channels [PDF]
This paper reports on numerical simulations of the hydrodynamics inside droplets in rectangular micro-channels. We use a finite-volume/front-capturing method that allows us to perform two- and three-dimensional simulations with a reasonable cost.

Probing the Evaporation Dynamics of Ethanol/Gasoline Biofuel Blends Using Single Droplet Manipulation Techniques [PDF]
Using blends of bio-ethanol and gasoline as automotive fuel leads to a net decrease in the production of harmful emission compared to the use of pure fossil fuel. However, fuel droplet evaporation dynamics change depending on the mixing ratio.

In the summer of 2009, Daniel Chiu’s prescient review in Analytical Chemistry described droplet microfluidics, an emerging concept and malleable analytical tool.1 The article primarily discussed the potential of single droplets to aid in the study of immensely complex systems, such as single cells and organelles. But droplets, by way of miniaturization
