The shrinkage factor : Chemical and biological processes are governed by the frequency of molecular collisions, which are dictated by the concentration of the dissolved species. Dynamic control over the concentrations of dissolved species in a nanoscale reaction vessel (droplet; colored pink in the picture) provides a new degree of control that will aid in the study of fundamental chemical processes.
