Antibubble formation and dynamics in detergent solution: Effects of droplet impact conditions and flow parameters An antibubble is a liquid droplet encapsulated by a thin air shell and immersed in the same liquid phase, representing the inverse configuration of a convention

#Antibubbles form only under precise conditions: droplet impact must trap air and generate a secondary jet droplet. This study shows an optimal #WeberNumber where formation peaks, balancing inertia and capillarity.

Stability of inkjet printing lines on inclined surfaces Conformal inkjet printing on curved surfaces is essential for high-precision manufacturing of complex shapes. Since inkjet droplets are typically much smaller t

Printing on a slope is trickier than it looks. This work shows how inclined surfaces affect the stability of inkjet lines, highlighting the balance between flow, gravity and surface tension.

How long does it take to get last liquid drops from kitchen containers? These physicists know the answer At some point, most people have found themselves holding a tilted carton of milk or bottle of cooking oil, patiently waiting for the last drops to drip out. Now, physicists at Brown University have do...

Using Navier-Stokes equations and simple experiments, @brown.edu physicists explored thin liquid films in the kitchen. Milk drains in ~30s, olive oil in 9+ min. Thin film physics everywhere!

Moving to autonomous experimentation: Growing thin films with machine learning From cell phones to solar panels to quantum computers, thin films are essential to current and emerging technologies. But making functional thin films requires control. During hours-long processes, thin films form atom by atom. Small changes in data readouts can tell researchers when something is going wrong. Detecting defects as soon as possible may help scientists fix films while they're growing, saving time and money.
