New Microfluidic Device Creates Equally Sized Nanodroplets

One drop with the volume of a millionth of a litre is actually not extremely large and does not even resemble like something that can be used for a lot of things. However, the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw developed a simple device capable of dividing microdroplet into a group of nanodroplets that are all of the same size.
