Researchers Identify an Unusual Way to Prevent Water from Forming Ice Crystals at Sub-Zero Temperatures

According to a research team from the University of Zurich and ETH Zurich, water can reach – 263 °C without turning into ice, if it is confined in nanometer-scale lipid channels.

Behavior of Droplets Emanating from “Nano-Tap” Differ from Those of a Household Tap

Scientists at the University of Warwick have discovered that droplets coming from a molecular “nano-tap” would have very different behavior in comparison with those from a household tap which is 1 million times larger.

Controlling Pattern of Droplets Could Lead to the Development of Microscopically Small Structures

Generally, popping the top on house paint draws people to look what is within the can; however, researchers at Princeton University have turned their gaze upward, to the lid’s underside where it turns out that the droplet pattern can possibly lead to novel ways for making very tiny structures.

Study Shows How Nanoparticles Affect Flow in Porous Media

Individuals who have combined vinegar and oil may have unknowingly observed a weird fluid phenomenon known as fingering instability. This type of phenomenon, known as viscous fingering (VF), takes place in porous media where fluids of varying viscosity meet in finger-shaped patterns due to increasing disturbances at the interface.
