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 ...

A University of Hawaii at Mānoa study on the freezing of water droplets suspended in air sheds light on a key process in ...

The water molecules beneath the surface are pulled in all directions. The molecules at the surface are pulled together and in. This creates a tighter arrangement of molecules at the surface and the ...

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 ...

When we last saw [isaac879]’s levitating RGB time fountain, it was made of wood which meant that it would absorb water and didn’t really show off the effect very well. His new version solves ...

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 ...

Remember the Surface Duo series ... The company is getting rid of the common “water drop” hinge that is found on most foldable devices today. The name of this type of mechanism is due to ...

For example, evaporative colling for a small water droplet in air can be as large as ... Further, drying particles may merge or bounce, coalesce or impact on a surface, and the evaporation of one ...

Droplet Shape Analyzer (Krüss DSA100s) This versatile instrument can measure droplet contact angles, surface free energies, droplet-surface interactions, and pendant drop surface or interfacial ...
