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 ...

Introduction Have you ever noticed on a rainy day how water forms droplets on a window? Why does it do that instead of spreading out evenly over the whole surface? You might not guess it but this ...

NEW YORK – Water is one of the chief concerns of our time: It's scarce, necessary, polluted and sacred. It's also been defined by the United Nations as a basic human right, while at the same time ...

The surface tension of a liquid is a measure of the cohesive forces that hold the molecules together. It is responsible for a water drop assuming a spherical shape and for the effects of surfactants ...

Demonstrates basic principles of water, including surface tension, pressure, and buoyancy. It shows how water can hold more than its brim due to surface tension, how pressure increases with depth, and ...

In its most basic form, surface tension is the tendency of liquids to bead up rather than spread out because they are more attracted to themselves (cohesion) than they are attracted to other things, ...

Geckos sprint across the surface of water using a combination of body motion and surface tension. The lizard’s technique was revealed by high-speed observations made by Jasmine Nirody at the ...

(CBS News) Let's go ahead and keep our focus on media that provide sustenance for the mind (with a dash of whimsy and fun!) rolling today. You've done a lecture on linguistics. You've done a hybrid ...

With the School of Media Science’s recent move to the College of Engineering Technology (CET), the faculty is beginning to incorporate more science into their classes. Robert Eller, the Gravure ...

Waterlily beetles (Galerucella nymphaeae) literally fly across water, high speed videography and a bit of mathematical modeling reveals. The beetles have a combination of hydrophobic hairs that line ...
