The paper clip is more dense than water but can rest on the surface of the water because of the water's surface tension. Evidence of water's surface tension can be seen where the water strider's legs ...

above the sea-level, that water is quite a suitable liquid for easy formation of ... The temperature of the water was about 34° F. The surface tension of water at this temperature is 76.53 ...

The authors also exploited the so-called " Cheerios effect " as a means of self-assembly to create clusters of tiny ...

A small team of physicists at the University of Amsterdam has demonstrated the ability of 3D-printed particles to propel ...

The impact drives water downwards and outwards, creating an air cavity that extends into the liquid. In this case, it's hydrostatic pressure rather than surface tension that causes the inflow of ...

While repellency for water is easily achieved with hydrocarbon functionalities, repellency for many low-surface-tension liquids (down to 30 mN m-1 ) still requires perfluoroalkyls (a persistent ...
