Wired Article Link- The Beauty of the Laplace Equation- Mathematical Key to .... Everything


Kibron devices like the AquaPi and DeltaPi can measure the air-water interface of surface tension in films that are governed by  governed by Laplace's law of capillary action.  Read more about this brilliant equation in Wired.  Washing dishes will never be the same...

New surface makes oil contamination remove itself

New surface makes oil contamination remove itself: Researchers have developed surfaces where oil transports itself to desired directions. Researchers' oleophobic surfaces are microtextured with radial arrays of undercut stripes. When oil drops fall on surfaces, drops move away from the landing point to the direction set by asymmetric geometrical patterning of the surface. The surfaces open up new avenues for power-free liquid transportation and oil contamination self-removal applications in analytical and fluidic devices.

I wonder if  Kibron devices may be able aid in this research...
