New Model Describing Deformation and Breakup of Droplets Improves Nanoscale Printing and Spraying

The growing interest and demand for nanotechnology will result in an increasing need for nanoscale printing and spraying, which relies on depositing small drops of liquid onto a surface. A new theory explaining how such a nanosized droplet deforms and breaks up when it strikes a surface has been recently developed by researchers from Tsinghua University in Beijing.

Hair Massage Enables Faster Delivery of Nanoparticle-Based Treatment to Roots

Shiny and smooth - this is how hair is visualized in advertisements for various shampoos. However, in reality, the surface of hair looks far more uneven when viewed by physicists under microscopes. The hair surface looks much more rugged, as it is formed of ratchet-like, saw-tooth scales.
