High-speed cameras capture hot droplets bouncing across a cool pan
To better understand how heat affects droplet behavior, Zhu and his team used hexadecane, an oily liquid with fuel-like properties, for their experiment. They dropped room-temperature, heated (120 ...

High-speed videos show what happens when a droplet splashes into a pool
Using high-speed imaging, they measured how the liquid pool deformed as the impacting droplet hit the pool's surface. Across all their experiments, they observed a common splash evolution ...
