The precise control of tiny droplets on surfaces is essential for advanced manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and ...

A liquid metal droplet can generate rotation without gears, changing how motors may work in soft and flexible machines.

Researchers at UNSW have developed a new type of motor that spins, not with rigid components, but with a droplet of liquid ...

Scientists from Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University made a numerical description how microscopic flows of substance in liquid crystals move under the influence of temperature change. It turned out ...

(Nanowerk News) Liquid crystals are all around us, from cell phone screens and video game consoles to car dashboards and medical devices. Run an electric current through liquid crystal displays (LCDs) ...

Researchers at UNSW have developed a new type of motor that generates rotation through the internal flow of a droplet of ...

The study, published January 13 in Physical Review Letters, replaces the metal or plastic cogs of conventional gears with controlled flows of liquid. In their experiments, ...

A research team has harnessed the power of deep reinforcement learning to replicate the flow of water when disturbed. The replication allowed for recreating water flow in real time based on only a ...
