The origins and the future of microfluidics
Article Abstract:
Microfluidics, the field concerning the manipulation of fluids in channels with dimensions of tens of micrometers has the potential to influence subject areas from chemical synthesis and biological analysis to optics and information technology. The future of the field, issues regarding its introduction to new technologies, its high-value applications, and its use in research are discussed.

Jets from a singular surface
Article Abstract:
Zeff and colleagues have demonstrated that the violent eruption of a jet arises from a singular distortion of the free surface. The singular event is fuelled by inertia and surface tension of the fluid. The dynamics are an example of a finite-time singularity in which the continuum description begins to break down.
