Droplets should exhibit various dynamical phenomena when adhered to a surface; not all of them are realized in classical fluids. Visualization of superfluid ^{4}He pendant droplets revealed that the droplets were horizontally translated on a flat surface, bouncing off at the corner, known as the Noether mode that reflects the translation symmetry. The droplets exhibited another mode in vertical oscillations with high amplitude that included oscillation of the droplet edge. The oscillation period remained constant even as the droplets grew, exhibiting an anomalously weak size dependence. The high mobility of the droplet edges owing to the superfluidity was a crucial factor for the appearance of these anomalous modes.

A paraffin droplet containing camphor and oil red O (dye) floating on the water surface shows spontaneous motion and deformation generated by the surface tension gradient around the droplet. We focused on the intermittent motion with a pronounced deformation into a crescent shape observed at specific concentrations of camphor and oil red O. We quantitatively analyzed the time changes in the droplet deformation and investigated the role of the oil red O by measuring the time-dependent paraffin-water interfacial tension with the pendant drop method.

Article Synopsis
- - This study explores the use of smart polymers, specifically amphiphilic elastin-like polypeptides (ELP--Bu), to enhance drug delivery systems by providing controlled release at targeted sites in response to chemical, physical, or biological stimuli.
- - ELP--Bu can stabilize oil-in-water emulsions, showing a droplet size of 9 ± 1 μm and maintaining stability for a month at various temperatures, while also demonstrating a trigger for drug release upon temperature increase at 42 °C.
- - These smart polymers have potential applications in treating inflammatory diseases, where increased temperature and oxidative conditions can facilitate the release of therapeutic agents.

The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of different irrigation regimens on the dentin wettability of root canal sealers. The occlusal surfaces of human molar teeth (N = 90) were removed, polished, and divided into three groups (n = 30) based on the irrigation regimen: control group (SAL), standard irrigation group (NES), and test group (ODC). Each group was randomly divided into three subgroups according to the root canal sealer: AH Plus (AHP), Total Fill BC Sealer HiFlow (TOT), and OdneFill (ODF).

Liquid-liquid separation is a critically important process in the treatment of emulsions that can occur in our environment, such as oily stormwater, shipboard bilgewater, or off-shore oil spill treatment. Effective filtration systems, including coalescing filters, are essential for mitigating these environmental pollutants. Achieving this requires a comprehensive understanding of liquid-liquid interface dynamics influenced by additives and surfactants.
