Levitating oil droplets research may help reduce air pollution ► FINCHANNEL
The FINANCIAL — Research using sound waves to suspend oil droplets has shown that the air pollution coming from the tiny droplets may be impacting larger areas of the environment. The project was undertaken by a UK team supported by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) involving: University of Birmingham University of Bath the Science and Technology Facilities Council’s (STFC) Central Laser Facility (CLF) the UK’s Diamond Light Source synchrotron. They were able to study aerosol droplets using acoustic levitation. That is, using sound waves to ‘trap’ a single millimetre sized droplet ov...
