The paper clip is on the water but is not floating like a boat which is less dense than water. The paper clip is more dense than water but can rest on the surface of the water because of the water's ...
The ethanol–water mixture was stored in a sealed bottle. The total time between injecting the droplet into the levitator and its atomisation was less than 20 ms. Therefore, it was presumed that there ...
A fine nozzle immersed in a tank injects air slowly into water. As a bubble grows, it is pulled upwards and stretched by buoyant forces. Surface tension acts to thin down the thread of air linking ...
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 ...
When water freezes slowly ... In simple terms, the surface tension of the droplet depends on temperature. As the freezing front approaches the droplet, the temperature on one side of the droplet ...
