Physicists at the University of Liège have succeeded in sculpting the surface of water by exploiting surface tension. Using 3D printing of closely spaced spines, they have combined menisci to create ...

You may have fleetingly wondered why the curtain of molten chocolate pulls inwards as it cascades over a chocolate fountain. But now the 'mystery' has been solved by a mathematics student - and it ...

Ever wonder what makes water dance around your windshield the way it does? It’s all a matter of surface tension: a simple set of rules that makes science sometimes look like art. Stanford’s Nate J.

Biological tissues exhibit two contradictory properties: they have a robust architecture that is required for their maintenance and resistance to stress, and they can be extensively remodelled during ...

A tensiometer is an instrument used to measure the surface tension (γ) of liquids or surfaces in the domain of physics. Surface tension is the contractive quality of the surface of a liquid that ...

Check out this video demo: So, that is just plain water. If I am careful, I can make that thin aluminum disk stay on the surface of the water. This is not the same as floating in Archimedes principle.

Phenomena involving surface tension are extremely complex and have applications in our everyday lives, and researchers are tackling the complicated mathematics behind the physics. The effects of ...

Researchers have shown that surface tension on a solid material is unconnected to the energy required to create a new surface. Consequently, surface tension on a solid does not exist in its ...
