• Models for molecules show unexpected physics
  

  Small spheres suspended in a liquid move enough like molecules that the physics for one can be used to mimic the physics of the other.  That’s why the discovery of some unusual physics in colloids -- particles dispersed in a solution such as milk, for example -- could be of interest to researchers w more

• Why some bubbles move faster
  

  An open question with great relevance for industrial production processes. Researchers at TU Graz and TU Darmstadt have now found an explanation. It is a puzzle long known among experts and very relevant in many industrial production processes: a jump discontinuity in the rise velocity of gas bubble more

• Detailed insights into the composition of organic liquids
  

  trinamiX GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of BASF SE, is presenting the latest addition to their pioneering portfolio: A portable solution to grant institutions and companies immediate insights into the molecular composition of liquids. trinamiX has once more successfully transformed the established more

Researchers use acoustic waves to move fluids at the nanoscale

A team of mechanical engineers at the University of California San Diego has successfully used acoustic waves to move fluids through small channels at the nanoscale. The breakthrough is a first step toward the manufacturing of small, portable devices that could be used for drug discovery and mic ... more

A Guide to Acids, Acid Strength, and Concentration

Even if you’re not a chemist, you’ll doubtless remember learning about acids back in school. They’re routinely described as strong or weak, concentrated or dilute. But what’s the difference between a strong acid and a concentrated acid? Explaining that is a little trickier than it sounds; in this gr more

• Microfluidic chambers using fluid walls for cell biology [Cell Biology]

  Despite improvements in our ability to manipulate ever-smaller volumes, most workflows in cell biology still use volumes of many microliters. We describe a method for creating microfluidic arrangements containing submicroliter volumes. It exploits interfacial forces dominant at the microscale to con more

• On the Measurement of Relaxation Times of Acoustic Vibrations in Metal Nanowires

  The mechanical resonances of metal nanostructures are strongly affected by their environment. In this paper the way the breathing modes of single metal nanowires are damped by liquids with different viscosities was studied by ultrafast pump-probe microscopy experiments. Both nanowires supported on a more

• Configuration correlation governs slow dynamics of supercooled metallic liquids [Physics]

  The search for a structural origin governing the dynamical slowing down of a supercooled liquid toward glass transition is an active area of the community of amorphous materials. In the past decade, the locally preferred geometrical orderings, that is, those local polyhedral packing clusters extract more
