Experimental Soft Condensed Matter Group Harvard University, Prof. D. A. Weitz Cool Picture of the Moment

A microfluidic method was used to produce droplets containing a silica precursor, water, ethanol and a surfactant in a continuous phase of hexadecane and ABIL EM 90.

Phase separation was observed in the droplets formed from an aged injection solution. This picture shows a fluorcence microscope image of droplets during phase separation.
