At Texas A&M University, one research lab is changing the game of droplet microfluidics, a technique that involves conducting experiments in nanoscale droplets of liquid in a controlled environment.

Droplet-based microfluidic systems have already entered laboratories, and currently, it is possible to create (monodisperse) droplets that range in size from femto to nanoliters.
