Droplet Physics Across Scales for Energy and Sustainability

Droplet Physics Across Scales for Energy and Sustainability

This workshop brings together the Droplet and Soft Matter Unit (Daniel Unit, OIST) and the Mouterde Group (University of Tokyo) to develop a unified understanding of droplet physics across length scales, from the nanometric to the millimetric regime. Droplet phenomena inherently span multiple scales: nanoscale interfacial processes govern wetting, transport, and dissipation, while micrometric and millimetric droplets exhibit complex hydrodynamic, electrostatic, and multiphase behaviors. Bridging these regimes remains a major challenge in soft matter and fluid physics.
