These students have an insatiable urge to learn more about it even if the full machinery of the tools required to study the same is not within their comfortable reach. The recent detection of gravitational waves has only augmented their enthusiasm about the General Theory of Relativity (GTR), developed just over a hundred years now, encapsulated in Einstein\u2019s Field Equations. The GTR provided a consistent formulation of the theory of gravity, removed the anomalies in the Newtonian model, and predicted spectacular natural phenomena which eventual experiments have testified to.

Evaporation of droplets is another interesting aspect that has caught much scientific attention. An example of an evaporating droplet is a coffee droplet spilled on a table. After evaporation the coffee droplet leaves a ring-like stain called a coffee ring or coffee stain. This phenomenon, known as the \u2018coffee ring effect\u2019, occurs not only with coffee droplets but also with all droplets containing non-volatile solutes. There are a number of interesting physical processes going on within the droplets during evaporation to form the \u2018coffee stains\u2019.

In simple words, a calculator that was as huge as a room, now fits into a wrist watch. Nowadays, a similar trend is observed in bio and chemical engineering. Analysis and synthesis involving fluids, which originally could be done only on large scales, are more and more integrated into small devices called microfluidic chips. Such microsacle or even nanoscale devices, in general called lab-on-a-chip devices, offer a higher accuracy and better efficiency compared to bulk devices. In this article we describe some important aspects about microfluidics.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Education Portal Education Portal is a place where you find articles and videos related to science education from IISER Tirupati.
