Recent Progress in Droplet Structure Machining for Advanced Optics.

The development of optical and photonic applications using soft-matter droplets holds great scientific and application importance. The machining of droplet structures is expected to drive breakthroughs in advancing frontier applications. This review highlights recent advancements in micro-nanofabrication techniques for soft-matter droplets, encompassing microfluidics, laser injection, and microfluidic 3D printing.

An authentic record of (Gray, 1838) (Reptilia: Scincidae) from Sri Lanka.

Among the eight species of Eutropis Fitzinger currently known from Sri Lanka, Eutropis bibronii (Gray, 1838) is among the least known. Hence, the occurrence of this species in Sri Lanka has been doubted by some authors since there were no confirmed records from live specimens for the past 70 years. The species has been previously reported mostly from northern regions of Sri Lanka.
