Dynamics and universal scaling law in geometrically-controlled sessile drop evaporation

Drop evaporation can be used as a fabrication technology for targeted particle deposition or microflow control, yet previous research is limited to spherical drops. Here, Sáenzet al. generalize the evaporation dynamics for arbitrary drop geometry and show its potential for more sophisticated control...
