Tiny droplets, big potential.
Yale scientists studied 5,000 breakups to understand how droplets split under different conditions.
A step forward for microfluidics applications.

Scientists are creating “animate” droplets that can act, adapt, and respond on their own, blurring the line between living and non-living matter.
Could this inspire new ways to control liquids?

New high-speed videos show that side-by-side droplets in a fast airflow fragment in predictable ways: they form sacs, stretch into threads, or even merge depending on their spacing.
A phase diagram captures these transitions.
