Physicists at the University of Liège have succeeded in sculpting the surface of water by exploiting surface tension. Using ...

Essentially, the momentum tries to force the drop to spread out at a speed governed by the mass of fluid and the speed at which the drop impacts. But surface tension tries to pull the droplet back ...

This is staying on the surface because of surface tension. I think my best explanation ... this in terms of the particle model of a gas or fluid, I could say that the particles in the water ...

Propelled by chemical changes in surface tension, microrobots surfing across fluid interfaces lead researchers to new ideas. Spend an afternoon by a creek in the woods, and you're likely to notice ...

Drip feed: droplets of a low-surface-tension fluid forming on the surface of a pipe treated by iCVD. (Courtesy: K Varanasi and collegues/MIT) A new surface coating that could boost the efficiency of ...

There occurs a marked reduction of the surface tension of distilled water by very small amounts of peptone, beef extract, ascitic fluid, castor oil soap solutions, and infusion broth; a minimum is ...
