Chemical reactions at the interface of reactive solutions are of importance for a full understanding of solution reactions. We investigate the chemical reaction induced by the collision of two droplets. The extent of the reaction is measured by analyzing spectra and images of the Raman scattered light emerging from the interface of the colliding droplets of HSO and NH aqueous solutions. The obtained product concentration is lower than that expected from a simple diffusion model. The result indicates that a fresh interface is produced at the periphery of the mixing region of the colliding droplets. This study provides the basis to extend this method to measure rapid chemical reactions at the interface of colliding droplets.

We report a motility-induced pinning transition in the active Ising model for a self-propelled particle system with discrete symmetry. This model was known to exhibit a liquid-gas type flocking phase transition, but a recent study reveals that the polar order is metastable due to droplet excitation. Using extensive Monte Carlo simulations, we demonstrate that, for an intermediate alignment interaction strength, the steady state is characterized by traveling local domains, which renders the polar order short-ranged in both space and time.

Background: Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is an electrochemically induced process in which radicals generated at the electrode surface undergo exergonic electron transfer reaction to form excited states and luminesce. ECL, with high sensitivity and superior spatiotemporal control, has been widely applied in bioanalysis and light-emitting devices. The ECL signal of rubrene (Rub) was observed in Rub/TPrA oil-in-water (o/w) emulsions, which was inconsistent with the theory of ion-transfer coupled electron-transfer in Rub emulsion droplets, and the conventional ECL mechanism in Rub/TPrA system couldn't explain this phenomenon.

Unlabelled: Although the development of disinfection technologies with novel mechanisms has stagnated, we demonstrate the bactericidal effects and mechanisms of high-speed nanodroplet generation technology. The first development of this technology in 2017 gushes out a water droplet of 10 nm in size at 50 m/s; however, the target surface does not become completely wet. Nanodroplets were exposed to biofilm models of , , , and .

This study examines how a deionized water droplet behaves when it centrally collides with a liquid film containing TiO nanoparticles at low impact velocities, aiming to understand how nanoparticles affect droplet spreading, in particular its maximum spreading diameter. Typically, we found that both the spreading velocity and dynamic contact angle of the droplet would be similarly affected by increasing TiO nanoparticle concentration. During retraction, the droplet's dimensionless spreading diameter oscillates, with more pronounced oscillations at higher nanoparticle concentrations.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the challenge of breaking emulsification in aging oil with high water content during tertiary oil recovery.
- Various experiments are conducted using ultrasonic reforming to analyze how different transducer input powers affect water content and the properties of oil samples before and after treatment.
- Results indicate that ultrasonic cavitation effectively demulsifies and dehydrates aging oil, achieving a dehydration rate of up to 98.24%, while also causing changes in droplet distribution and suggesting ultrasound's potential for reversible demulsification.
