Scientists Create Tiny Tornadoes in Droplets: Ultrasound Technique Concentrates Particles with Precision

Scientists have discovered a way to make liquid droplets spin like tiny tornadoes using ultrasound waves, forcing particles inside to gather at the center. This breakthrough could transform how doctors test for diseases and how pharmaceutical companies develop new medications. Researchers from Binghamton University, North Carolina State University, Harvard Medical School, and Duke University collaborated on this discovery, which they describe as “new physics” never seen before. “It’s a new physics we found. No one has ever found it,” said Assistant Professor Yuyang Gu from Binghamton’s Thomas J. Watson College of Engineering and Applied Science, who joined the Department of … Continue reading Scientists Create Tiny Tornadoes in Droplets: Ultrasound Technique Concentrates Particles with Precision
