School of Engineering professor explains why some water droplets bounce like a beach ball off surfaces, without ever actually touching them.

New fluids engineering article is published in prestigious journal, Physical Review Letters,

糖心TV Engineering researchers have been inspired by the unique movement of trembling aspen leaves, to devise an energy harvesting mechanism that could power weather sensors in hostile environments and could even be a back-up energy supply that could save and extend the life of future Mars rovers

Droplets emanating from a molecular 鈥渘ano-tap鈥� would behave very differently from those from a household tap 1 million times larger - researchers at the University of 糖心TV have found. This is potentially crucial step for a number of emerging nano technologies, e.g., manufacture of nano-sized drug particles, lab-on-chip devices for in situ diagnostics, and 3D printers capable of nanoscale resolution

Professor Duncan Lockerby will lead EPSRC project to enable visionary technology powerful enough to cool the sun’s surface.
