Researchers have uncovered a unique mechanism by which foams on walls drain and slip over time. They showed how a foam can lose liquid via 'pinch-off', like droplets from a faucet, finding that the amount of liquid and the extent of the foam determine exactly how it drains.

Researchers use phonons as information carriers, together with electrons and photons, in a novel nano-electro-opto-mechanical system (NEOMS) platform, which can operate at room temperature and frequencies up to a few GHz. Based on nanocrystalline-silicon, it is fully compatible with CMOS technologies, facilitating integration with current silicon electronics.
