Two-component Marangoni-contracted droplets: friction and shape
Adrien Benusiglio, Nate Cira, Manu Prakash
When a mixture of propylene glycol and water is deposited on a clean glass slide, it forms a droplet of a given apparent contact angle rather than spreading as one would expect on…

Elastomeric focusing enables application of hydraulic principles to solid materials in order to create micromechanical actuators with giant displacements
Nate J Cira, Jason W Khoo, Mika Jain +11
A continuing challenge in material science is how to create active materials in which shape changes or displacements can be generated electrically or thermally. Here we borrow prin…

Two-component self-contracted droplets: long-range attraction and confinement effects
Adrien Benusiglio, Nate Cira, Anna Wei Lai +1
Marangoni self-contracted droplets are formed by a mixture of two liquids, one of larger surface tension and larger evaporation rate than the other. Due to evaporation, the droplet…
