Professor Wonho Choe, KAIST Gas jets can create dimple-like depressions in liquid surfaces, and this phenomenon is familiar to anyone who has seen the cavity produced by blowing air through a straw directly above a cup of juice. As the speed of the gas jet increases, the cavity becomes unstable and starts bubbling and splashing.  “Understanding the physical properties of interactions between gases and liquids is crucial for many natural and industrial processes, such as the wind blowing ove...

Credit: Professor Wonho Choe, KAIST. A study by KAIST researchers revealed that an ionized gas jet blowing onto water, also known as a plasma jet, produces a more stable interaction with the waters surface compared to a neutral gas jet. This finding reported in the April 1 issue of Nature will help improve the scientific understanding of plasma-liquid interactions and their practical applications in a wide range of industrial fields in which fluid control technology is used, including biomedic...
