Fuel droplet evaporation is essential to the generation of flammable mixtures in thermal
engines. Generally, liquid fuel is injected directly into the hot, high-pressure atmosphere to …

For the first time we have studied an oscillatory chemical reaction (the well-known Belousov–
Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction) in acoustically levitated droplets. Acoustically levitated droplets …

Acoustic levitation is gaining traction as a container-free method for examining crystallization
effects, though liquid-to-solid phase change has seen little investigation for levitated …

Atmospheric ice collisions on exposed outdoor infrastructure are a rarely explored surface
design challenge. A primary obstacle to realistic ice particles in the laboratory setting is …

Recent strategies developed to examine the nucleation of crystal structures like
tetrahydrofuran (THF) hydrates without the effects of a solid interface have included acoustic …

In the atmosphere, the formation of ice crystal chains, or aggregates, occurs when
micrometer-sized atmospheric ice particles stick together, as observed in situ during recent …

Ultrasonic levitation is a non-contact method of manipulating samples in mid-air that has
drawn significant interest in the fields of biochemistry and pharmaceutical science. In these …

Acoustic levitation is the only method capable of suspending samples with different material
properties and geometries, even in the liquid phase. Despite its widespread applications …

Ice crystal aggregates are observed in upper stratospheric clouds. The crystal aggregates
can form in different orientations, geometry, and shapes which are not well studied. These …
