The ability to image solid surfaces in a liquid medium makes atomic force microscopy (AFM) an attractive tool in the study of liquid-solid interfacial phenomena. One such area of research where AFM ...

Washington: Defying gravitational forces, an Indian-origin scientist-led team has developed a new way of making surfaces that can actively control how fluids or particles move across them. The ...

Many modern technologies rely on microscopic elements, such as microchips in smartphones. The manufacturing process for these elements requires their surfaces to be exposed to different types of ...

Fluidic force microscopy (FluidFM) is a cutting-edge technique that integrates atomic force microscopy (AFM) with nanofluidics, enabling simultaneous imaging and manipulation of biological samples at ...

What is a Surface Force Apparatus (SFA)? The Surface Force Apparatus (SFA) is a highly sensitive scientific instrument used to measure the forces between two surfaces at the nanoscale. It allows ...

A new way of driving fluid droplets across surfaces in a precisely controlled way has now been developed by researchers. The method could open up new possibilities for highly adaptable microfluidic ...

The free-surface motion of three-dimensional polymeric fluids will be studied by means of mathematical modeling, numerical analysis and numerical simulation. In this research project, two kinds of ...
