Eötvös number (Bond Number): 007 or gravity override in microchannels?
How do you know that the oil doesn’t rise above the water in the channels, or pores, of your microfluidic chips as a result of the density difference between the fluids? This is a question that we often hear when talking at events or chatting with...

Just how tight is shale anyway?
Just how tight is shale? How difficult is it for oil to flow through this rock compared to much more permeable rock like sandstone? Do lab tests at the beaker-scale actually represent what is happening inside a 50-nm shale pore-throat network? Sơn...
