How faceted liquid droplets grow tails.
Liquid droplets, widely encountered in everyday life, have no flat facets. Here we show that water-dispersed oil droplets can be reversibly temperature-tuned to icosahedral and other faceted shapes, hitherto unreported for liquid droplets. These shape changes are shown to originate in the interplay between interfacial tension and the elasticity of the droplet's 2-nm-thick interfacial monolayer,...
متن کاملHow droplets nucleate and grow on liquids and liquid impregnated surfaces.
Condensation on liquids has been studied extensively in context of breath figure templating, materials synthesis and enhancing heat transfer using liquid impregnated surfaces. However, the mechanics of nucleation and growth on liquids remains unclear, especially on liquids that spread on the condensate. By examining the energy barriers of nucleation, we provide a framework to choose liquids tha...
متن کاملsee how children grow
it is necessary for community health nurses to be aware of children growth velocity as well as their height. this is a report of joan arton’s study on primary schools children. traditionally children health indicators were based on if they gain enough weight or not. although today it is proved that height is a better index for children health, but measuring height alone is not enough and growth...
متن کاملHow quickly do cloud droplets form on atmospheric particles?
The influence of aerosols on cloud properties is an important modulator of the climate system. Traditional Köhler theory predicts the equilibrium concentration of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN); however, it is not known to what extent particles exist in the atmosphere that may be prevented from acting as CCN by kinetic limitations. We measured the rate of cloud droplet formation on atmospheric...
متن کاملHow do quasicrystals grow?
Using molecular simulations, we show that the aperiodic growth of quasicrystals is controlled by the ability of the growing quasicrystal nucleus to incorporate kinetically trapped atoms into the solid phase with minimal rearrangement. In the system under investigation, which forms a dodecagonal quasicrystal, we show that this process occurs through the assimilation of stable icosahedral cluster...
