Recent flybys of the fiery world refute a leading theory of its inner structure—and reveal how little is understood about ...

Acting has never truly been in the cards for me, but the warmer months are when I adopt new characters. Just as an actor ...

A force tensiometer measures surface tension by determining the force required to detach a probe or ring from the liquid’s surface, that force being directly related to the liquid’s surface tension.

Inspired by the surface tension of a droplet of liquid, researchers have created an adjustable wheel that alters shape in real-time, tackling uneven surfaces and high obstacles with ease.

The attraction of molecules at the surface of a liquid is called surface tension. The polarity of water molecules can help explain why water has a strong surface tension. Students will observe several ...

Bonding over the science of Surface Tension! Why do some things float in ... It's interesting to observe that the two liquids don't mix. Just like the liquids in a lava lamp.

It can be a liquid, a solid or a gas ... another thing that makes water weird that isn't talked about much. Its surface tension. Let me show you before I explain. Look at this glass.

This insight allowed de Rijn and colleagues to update existing theoretical models to incorporate surface tension alongside the influences of gravity and fluid inertia. Their new models held up for a ...
