The commonplace phenomenon of liquid drops falling from a surface is—perhaps surprisingly—not yet fully understood by ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Meitner based her fission argument on the “liquid droplet model” of nuclear ... the atomic nucleus together to the surface tension that gives a water droplet its structure.

This research highlights the complex interplay between droplet shape, surface tension, and thermal gradients. Another study investigated the influence of gravity on droplet instabilities.

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 ...

An empirical analysis of oil flowing down an inclined fibre has suggested how the structure and dynamics of droplet formation ...
