Wolf and co-workers blasted the droplets with pulses from a titanium-sapphire laser lasting just 120 femtoseconds. Crucially, the pulses do not deform the spherical shape, which means that the curved ...

Shining light on a water droplet creates effects analogous to what happens in an atom. This can help us understand how atoms work, write researchers.

An international research team led by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon has, for the first time, succeeded in visualizing and ...

The water droplet widely spreads in the direction perpendicular to the radiation direction of the laser. And into smaller water droplets.

Laser lights up water droplets 03 Jul 2002 Physicists have made water droplets emit white light for the first time using laser pulses. Jean-Pierre Wolf of the University of Lyon 1 in France and ...

Homemade laser microscope reveals water's murky secrets By Paul Ridden August 26, 2010 A homemade laser microscope has revealed the very lively, secret life of a drop of water View 2 Images ...

Researchers have demonstrated that laser emissions can be created through the interaction of light and water waves. This 'water-wave laser' could someday be used in tiny sensors or 'lab-on-a-chip ...

The laser beam is refracted in the water droplet and scatters, trapping the light inside. You cannot change the size of the dome in St. Paul's Cathedral, but a water droplet changes size as it ...

Atomic-scale laser treatment enhances laser-induced graphene for efficient electrothermal heating and water purification through improved conductivity and structure.

In a delicious turn of events, scientists succeeded in taking the optics of olive oil to create the first-ever microlaser ...

Mechanical engineers have devised a diagnostic platform that uses sound waves to spin an individual drop of water up to 6000 revolutions per minute. These speeds separate tiny biological particles ...

Useful in medication research “Since a water droplet is about 100,000 times larger than an atom, we get a model of an atom that is visible to the naked eye, an ‘optical atom’,” says Javier Marmolejo.
