(Nanowerk News) Microfluidics is the technology of designing and fabricating devices to manipulate tiny streams of fluids. In the past decade, scientists have developed a variety of microfluidic ...

Pouring cream into coffee creates a show of eddies that rivals Jupiter's roiling storms. But one clank of the spoon collapses all that black and tan chaos into a smooth, uniform brown. It turns out ...

Chemistry often conjures images of mixing fluids together in beakers, flasks, or test tubes. But often, chemistry happens on a much smaller scale. In many medical and industrial contexts, mixing ...

The aim of this volume is to present the state of the art in the mathematical analysis of transport and mixing phenomena in fluids and associated problems. It supplements current literature on the ...

ARLINGTON, Va. – Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have devised a new method for fabricating three-dimensional "plumbing" for fluids in millimeter-sized devices, using a ...

The field of microfluidics involves minute devices that precisely manipulate fluids at submillimeter scales. Such devices typically take the form of flat, two-dimensional chips, etched with tiny ...

Mixing fluids in space in a controlled manner is tricky business. For this purpose, BioServe has created the FPA. The FPA is a test tube that allows for controlled, sequential mixing of two to four ...

These mysterious "fireworks" aren't lighting up the night sky — they're computer simulations from a recent paper on mixing fluids that don't want to mix. Researchers mapped out how two immiscible ...
