(Feb.12 ’15) New
research from the Micro/Bio/Nanofluidics Unit at the Okinawa Institute of
Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) looks at how to create
various non-spherical particles by releasing droplets of molten wax into a cool
liquid bath. The physics behind this research shows how a range of
non-spherical shapes can be produced and replicated with many possible
industrial applications. OIST Professor Amy Shen collaborated with her former
Ph.D student Shilpa Beesabathuni from University of Washington, as well as The
Procter & Gamble Company in the United States to conduct the research
