Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology published a new high-pressure liquid seal method in Microsystems & Nanoengineering on ...

In an internal combustion engine, the fuel is distributed in small droplets in injection valves to maximise combustion. In the engine, the fuel droplets are pressurised to turn into gas and burn. When ...

A new discovery has reshaped our understanding of PCR chip technology: water vapor, not air expansion, is the primary culprit behind bubble formation in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based chips. This ...

Gas bubble dynamics and nucleation processes underpin a wide range of natural and industrial phenomena, from volcanic eruptions and decompression sickness to advanced chemical reactors and materials ...

Industrial electrochemical processes that use electrodes to produce fuels and chemical products are hampered by the formation of bubbles that block parts of the electrode surface, reducing the area ...
