Drying drops of colloidal dispersions have attracted attention from researchers since the
nineteenth century. The multiscale nature of the problem involving physics at different …

Biological systems, by nature, are highly complex. These systems exhibit diverse
hierarchical spatial and temporal features when driven far from equilibrium. The generated …

The controlled synthesis of Ag/Au nanocomposite particles has remained a significant
challenge in nanomaterial research. This study presents the synthesis, characterization, and …

The evolution of the flow paradigm of an evaporating saline droplet is investigated
experimentally. The evaporation of the sessile saline droplet can be divided into two …

Pattern formation via nonequilibrium dynamical paths has been the focus of much recent
attention. An example is phase separation under the action of a nonstationary temperature …

Coffee-ring effect is a very common phenomenon in our daily life, especially in the
evaporation process of colloidal solutions on solid surfaces. However, in processes such as …

Controlling the morphology and crystal structure of energetic materials (EMs) is crucial for
predictable performance and stability under operational and accidental scenarios. In this …

In droplet evaporation, the onset of evaporative crystallization near a contact line is
inevitable if there is a coffee-ring effect increasing the local concentration of suspended …

It is known that there is a universality behind pattern formation during phase separation
induced by homogeneous quenching. However, this universality is broken when quenching …

We report the behavior of nanodroplets containing aqueous NaOH solutions of different
concentrations, visualized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Under e-beam …
