Thomas Russell and Ganhua Xie at UMass Amherst and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab use capillary forces to develop a simple method for producing self-assembling hanging droplets of an aqueous polymer solution from the surface of a second aqueous polymer solution in well-ordered arrays. The technique relies on natural properties, in particular surface tension.
