Researchers Study Dynamics of Nano Range Acoustic Wave Within Small Droplets

Understanding the physical mechanisms that enable a droplet to be displaced by propagating an acoustic wave along the substrate on which it lies is the hurdle that has been overcome by researchers from the Institut d'Electronique de Microélectronique et Nanotechnologies (CNRS/Université Lille 1/Ecole Centrale de Lille).
