Electric fields move water droplets
Electric fields move water droplets (Jul 26)
http://physicsweb.org/article/news/9/7/14
It is usually a good idea to keep water away from electrical equipment
but researchers in Japan have discovered a new effect by breaking this
rule. Masahide Gunji and Masao Washizu of the University of Tokyo have
shown that electric fields can be used to move water droplets around a
solid surface. Their work could lead to new ways to perform chemistry
experiments much faster than is possible at present (J. Phys. D38
2417).
