Red-dyed droplets

Caption

Red-dyed droplets of varying sizes line up along a crease in a soft, rubber-like substrate in Syracuse University professor Anupam Pandey's lab. Smaller droplets stop short of the fold, while larger ones cross it — a visible demonstration of the size-dependent "gating" effect described in the team's PNAS study.
