The vortex-driven dynamics of droplets within droplets

The vortex-driven dynamics of droplets within droplets

Multi-emulsion droplets may lead to improved designs of soft materials or drug formulations. Tiribocchi et al. show that in typical situations expected during microfluidic post-processing, the dynamical distribution of emulsified droplets is dictated by the internal vortices of the host droplet.
