Droplet Lab Blog

A practical explainer of the Leidenfrost effect, showing how vapor films form on superheated surfaces and why that changes boiling, cooling efficiency, and thermal process behavior.

Explains how smartphone-based contact-angle measurement was validated against lab-grade methods, and why portable imaging can still produce reliable wettability data.

Breaks down smartphone-based pendant-drop surface-tension measurement, including the physics, calibration flow, and validation against conventional systems.

Covers how Droplet Lab built and trained an AI model to automate contact-angle analysis, especially for reflections, low contrast, and difficult droplet images.
