Ultrafast Vibrational Dynamics of Water and Confined Water in Reverse Micelles
… 4). Most of the vibrational energy from nanodroplet water is transferred to the AOT head group and then out to the CCl4 within 10 picoseconds. The vibrational relaxation of confined water in AOT reverse micelles is also investigated by varing the pump frequency and the size of the reverse …

Probing Nucleation Mechanisms of Gas Hydrates via Molecular Simulations
… nucleation mechanisms of gas hydrates in water nanodroplets with pure-guest and mixed-guest species reveals key factors affecting hydrate nucleation behavior, including guest species, guest compositions, size of the nanodroplet, and temperature. The effects of temperature and the size of the …

Laser-activated perfluorocarbon nanodroplets as a tool in neurological applications
Perfluorocarbon nanodroplets (PFCnDs) are an emerging class of nanoagents for biomedical applications. These nanoparticles are unique in their ability to phase change from liquid nanodroplet to gas microbubble when activated by electromagnetic energy. The ability of PFCnDs to phase change when …

Path Integral Monte Carlo Simulations of Helium: From Superfluid Droplets to Quantum Crystals
… response around a molecule rotating in a helium nanodroplet. We found that the first solvation layer is well-described by a two dimensional superfluid, with thermal excitations occuring at a lower temperature than in bulk helium. The effective moment of inertia of a linear impurity in a helium …

Nanoemulsion-Loaded Hydrogels For Advanced Pharmaceutical Formulations
… with various active ingredients, oil phases, nanodroplet sizes, and chemically crosslinked inner hydrogel cores. Second, we design a new thermogelling methylcellulose (MC) nanoemulsion that can be efficiently formulated into composite solid dosage drug products with well-controlled API …

Development of Quantitative Ultrasound-Mediated Molecular Imaging of The Tumor Microenvironment
… and activate phase-changing perfluorocarbon nanodroplet contrast agents (PNCAs). Using this imaging platform, PNCAs were activated and imaged to determine PNCA enhancement. Optimal PNCA particles generated a median signal enhancement of 6.2 in a phantom environment after US activation, while …

The Effects of Surface Topography on Droplet Evaporation and Condensation
… processes. The coalescence-induced jumping of nanodroplet on curved superhydrophobic surface is modeled via molecular dynamic simulations. As the surface curvature increases from 0 to 2, the corresponding energy conversion efficiency of jumping droplet during the coalescence process could be …

WETTING TRANSITIONS AT NANOSTRUCTURED SURFACES
… the results confirm the contact angle of a nanodroplet can be predicted by the local Cassie-Baxter mixing relation applied to the area within the interaction range from the drop’s perimeter, which, in turn, enables predictions of condensation and saturated vapor pressure above nanopatterned …
