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 ...

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 ...

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

onto a droplet of distilled water. The peak power of the laser pulses was varied over the range of 1–25 GW. The droplet emission was measured by a spectrometer in the wavelength range of 195 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
