Abstract
Merging of isolated liquid drops is a common phenomenon that may greatly be influenced by adding polymeric contents to the liquid. Here, we bring out an exclusive control on the dynamics of the intermediate liquid bridge, thus, formed via exploiting the interactions of an exciting electric field with a trace amount of polymeric inclusions present in the intermingling drops. Our results unveil a unique competition of the elastic recovery and time-oscillatory forcing during the drop-unification at early times. However, damped oscillations as a specific signature of the polymer concentration feature eventual stabilization of the bridge at later instants of time. We rationalize these experimental findings in light of a simple unified theory that holds its critical implications in droplet manipulation in a wide variety of applications encompassing digital microfluidics, chemical processing, and biomedical analytics.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
