On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Drop-on-demand drop generators allow the reproducible generation of single droplets. They are thus a flexible scientific tool for basic investigations also on metallic droplets.
Our experimental setup enables the generation of metallic droplets at temperatures up to 1650 °C and maximum drop distances of up to 6.5 m. In this setup, we have implemented various generic model experiments, which allow us, for example, to carry out investigations for the development and validation of cooling models and the in-situ determination of thermodynamic material properties such as surface tension and liquid density. Solidified microspheres can be characterized in a variety of ways, enabling a high-throughput approach to the search for new structural materials.
