Bubbles burst when their caps rupture. Children discover this phenomenon every summer day, but it also underpins key mechanisms for the spread of pollutants, contaminants, and even infectious disease ...

A research team has discovered an electrochemical method that allows highly selective para-position single-carbon insertion ...

Trillions of bacteria, fungi, viruses and single-celled organisms travel the globe high in the atmosphere. Scientists are finding that they play a role in the weather and our health.

A new study captured never-before-seen footage of hydrogen and oxygen atoms combining to form a miniature water droplet out of "thin air." The newly improved reaction could one day help astronauts ...

This step is followed by novel static droplet arrays (SDA) microfluidic to isolate the CTCs with a resolution of single-cell trapped in a static droplet for downstream analysis. This novel design of ...

Static droplet array (SDA) is a necessary and integral tool when it comes to high-capacity screening tests, or assays, for identifying and targeting specific cells or analytes (substances whose ...

Single-particle mass measurements need not be limited to biological materials. The mass and size of polymeric nanoparticles, for example, can affect their properties.

Moreover, we provide a recent review of the application of droplet microfluidics in tumor single-cell immunoassays, describe in detail the advantages of microfluidics in tumor research, and predict ...

Using droplet chemistry, we have built an apparatus, which is being used at Purdue now, to speed up the synthesis of novel chemicals and potential new drugs." Produced in association with SWNS Talker.
