Introduction Have you ever noticed on a rainy day how water forms droplets on a window? Why does it do that instead of spreading out evenly over the whole surface? You might not guess it but this ...

Our readers agree that the world would be a very different place if water displayed no surface tension, making life on Earth ...

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 ...

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 ...

Figure 1: Physical number concentration–size distributions, total mass–size distributions and sulphate and organic-matter mass–size distributions during the NUM event. Figure 2: CCN, chemical ...

Dyne Testing, an Intertronics brand, presents the Sigma 702 Force Tensiometer from Biolin Scientific, a standalone instrument for precise surface tension and interfacial tension measurement. The Sigma ...

The activation of aerosol particles into cloud droplets in the Earth’s atmosphere is both a key process for the climate budget and a main source of uncertainty. Its investigation is facing major ...
