The charged end of a detergent molecule attracts water molecules at the surface in an outward direction. This disrupts the way the molecules normally attract at the surface and weakens the surface ...

Inspired by the surface tension properties of water droplets, this design allows the tire to adapt its shape dynamically, much like how a droplet changes when it hits a surface. This airless tire has ...

The viscosity of aerosol particles governs the rate at which volatile components, including water, equilibrate between ... dynamics observed as oscillations in droplet shape can be used to infer the ...

Prior research has shown that droplets with a surface tension lower than the surface ... a phenomenon known as the Marangoni effect. A drop of alcohol in a cup of water, for example, will spread ...

Water droplets under freezing conditions do not spontaneously detach from surfaces as they do at room temperature due to stronger droplet-surface interaction and lack of an energy transformation ...

Therefore a drop of soap solution should be stable on a water surface, the hydrophobic ends of the soap ions in the surface being directed outwards, and we were able last August to produce such ...

Droplet Shape Analyzer – Inkjet (Krüss DSA-inkjet) This instrument allows study of droplets generated by inkjet printer heads. Bubble Pressure Tensiometer (Krüss BP100) This instrument permits ...
