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 ...

Recent advances in surface tension modelling have significantly enhanced our ability to predict and manipulate the interfacial properties of chemical compounds. These improvements are driven by a ...

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 ...

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.

Learn about surface tension with Ms. Cerrato from Asheville, NC. Learn about surface tension with Ms. Cerrato from Asheville, NC. Rootle and PBS North Carolina are proud to bring you Teacher Time, a ...

The surface tension of a liquid is a measure of the cohesive forces that hold the molecules together. It is responsible for a water drop assuming a spherical shape and for the effects of surfactants ...

A small, flat piece of Styrofoam, at least about three inches by three inches (For example, this could be part of a take-out container or a sheet of packaging.) Utility or EXACTO knife and an adult ...
