Levitation of microdroplets above an evaporating layer of water [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
The paper investigates a levitating array of microdroplets above a heated layer of distilled degassed water with an area of 40×40 mm2. The droplets are distributed unevenly, and most of them accumulate at the edges of the test section. The coalescence of

Programming Multidomain Peptides With Molecular Frustration Into Biomolecular Condensates

Small, EarlyView.
De novo designed multidomain peptides (MDPs) were used to explore how molecular ordering influences peptide phase behavior. MDPs containing partially folded β‐sheets were found to form biomolecular condensates. This work introduces a new design principle for condensate formation and expand the design space beyond conventional intrinsically disordered ...

Gravity‐Driven Assembly Dynamics of Liquid Metal Microdroplets for Functional Composite Films

Small, EarlyView.
This article presents a new understanding of the gravitational settling of liquid metal microdroplets in polymer resin films. It employs an experimental and analysis platform for quantification of the process‐structure relationships to inform the dynamics of gravity‐driven assembly in soft circuit architectures. ABSTRACT Liquid metal (LM) microdroplets

Topology‐Encoded Charge Polarity Governs Multiphase Organization in Intrinsically Disordered Protein Polymer Condensates

Small, EarlyView.
Electrostatic topology is shown to program phase separation and internal organization in thermoresponsive intrinsically disordered protein polymer (IDPP) condensates. By comparing oppositely charged IDPPs with a covalent diblock, chain connectivity is revealed to control charge compensation, dense‐phase micropolarity, miscibility, and apparent acid ...

Thermally Regulated Droplet Microfluidics Enables Uniform, Size‐Controllable DNA‐Nanoparticle Superlattices

Small, EarlyView.
Thermally regulated droplet microfluidics enables controlled assembly of DNA‐functionalized gold nanoparticles into uniform, size‐controllable superlattice crystals. Monodisperse droplets formed at elevated temperature suppress premature hybridization, followed by ultra‐slow cooling to promote near‐equilibrium growth.

Interaction of levitating liquid microdroplets with intensive vapor flow near the contact line

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
In this research, interaction of liquid microdroplets with the air-vapor flow near the contact line (the three-phase solid - liquid - gas boundary) is studied. It is shown experimentally that the flight of levitating microdroplets from the wetted surface

Photo‐Activated Merging Cascades in Droplet Swarms Upon Synergistic Solvation of Surfactants

Small, EarlyView.
UV activates the motility of UV‐responsive droplets through a decylammonium/carbamate crystalline layer at the air/water interface. Upon merging with immobilized C12E3 surfactant droplets in the layer, hybrid droplets form which dissolve the layer due to synergistic solvation. In large droplet fields, this non‐linear behavior drives cascading events of
