This paper describes an in vitro gene transfection technique termed water-in-oil droplet electroporation, using an intense DC electric field to deform a droplet between electrodes. The deformation can cause an instantaneous short circuit, during which transient membrane pores are reported to form and permit exogenous…

This paper proposes a reversible approach to tune Mie scattering resonances in random media using external low induction magnetic fields. The experimental demonstration uses ultrasound in emulsions of fluorinated ferrofluid droplets dispersed in a Bingham fluid. Magnetic-field-induced droplet deformation is reported…
