Researchers at the University of Konstanz have developed a gentle, contact-free method to collect liquids and remove them from microscopic surface structures. The method uses vapor condensation to ...

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- If you think about it, water can be kind of weird. It can be a liquid, a solid or a gas. It contracts when it is cooled to a certain point, then starts to expand as it gets closer ...

Discover the amazing properties of water's surface tension as you make metal paper clips float on water. You'll learn about the forces that hold water molecules together and how insects like water ...

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 ...

Jetting off: particle imaging velocimetry image of a jet undergoing a deceleration 20 times greater than that of gravity. (Courtesy: CJM van Rijn et al/Physical Review Fluids) Spectacular upward jets ...

When we think about creatures skimming across water, images of birds landing or frogs leaping come to mind. But some of ...

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.

Inspired by a kind of tree leaf, scientists discovered that the spreading direction of different liquids deposited on the same surface can be steered, solving a challenge that has remained for over ...
