A drop hitting a solid surface can deposit, bounce, or splash. Splashing arises from the
breakup of a fine liquid sheet that is ejected radially along the substrate. Bouncing and …

Evaporation of sessile droplets containing non-volatile solutes dispersed in a volatile solvent
leaves behind ring-like solid stains. As the volatile species evaporates, pinning of the …

Covering a range of fundamental topics essential to modern forensic investigation, the fifth
edition of the landmark text Forensic Science: An Introduction to Scientific and Investigative …

The development of bioinspired interfacial materials with enhanced drop mobility that mimic
the innate functionalities of nature will have a significant impact on the energy, environment …

Drying of biologically-relevant sessile droplets, including passive systems such as DNA,
proteins, plasma, and blood, as well as active microbial systems comprising bacterial and …

Capillarity is the familiar manifestation of the cohesion of liquids. Since Laplace (Traité de
mécanique céleste, vol. IV, supplément au livre X: Sur l'action capillaire, 1805, pp. 1–65), we …

The drying of a drop of blood or plasma on a solid substrate leads to the formation of
interesting and complex patterns. Inter-and intra-cellular and macromolecular interactions in …

Designed as an accessible introduction to basic scientific principles and their application in
professional practice, Forensic Biology provides a concise overview of the field. Focusing …

The drying of complex fluids involves a large number of microscopic phenomena (transport
and organization of non-volatile solutes) as well as hydrodynamic and mechanical …

A capillary surface is an interface between two fluids whose shape is determined primarily
by surface tension. Sessile drops, liquid bridges, rivulets, and liquid drops on fibers are all …
