Over many years of geological time, opal is slowly formed as many small spheres of silica (what glass is made of) ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue University researchers have made a discovery that may lead to the development of an innovative liquid-cooling system for future computer chips, which are expected to ...

Bubble dynamics and the associated behaviour of liquid films constitute a multifaceted area of research with broad implications across environmental sciences, industry, and healthcare. The interplay ...

A new discovery has reshaped our understanding of PCR chip technology: water vapor, not air expansion, is the primary culprit behind bubble formation in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based chips. This ...

Tokyo, Japan - Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University studied the dynamics of foams. When a drop of water was added to a foam raft, the bubbles rearranged themselves to reach a new stable ...

Findings show how to make confined bubbles develop uniformly, instead of in their usual scattershot way. The formation of air bubbles in a liquid appears very similar to its inverse process, the ...

Tiny drops of dirty water, often mistaken for air bubbles, tell the tale of rippling icicle growth. While examining 3-millimeter-thick cross sections of icicles grown in the lab, University of Toronto ...
