The surface tension that allows liquid droplets to hold their shape can also be used to add strength to solid materials (Image: Shutterstock) ...

Now imagine that this enormous mirror is made not of precisely manufactured glass segments, but of liquid floating in space. This might sound like science fiction, but it's the cutting-edge concept ...

Researchers have detailed the physics behind a phenomenon that allows them to create spin in liquid droplets using ultrasound waves, which concentrates solid particles suspended in the liquid. The ...

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- If you think about it, water can be kind of weird. It can be a liquid, a solid or a gas. It contracts when it is cooled to a certain point, then starts to expand as it gets ...

Physicists at the University of Liège have succeeded in sculpting the surface of water by exploiting surface tension. Using 3D printing of closely spaced spines, they have combined menisci to ...

Key Concepts The attraction of molecules at the surface of a liquid is called surface tension. The polarity of water molecules can help explain why water has a strong surface tension. Summary Students ...

An artist’s rendition of Titan’s landscape features a hazy atmosphere, dark dunes, and lakes and seas that resemble Earth’s. On these bodies of liquid, new research suggests that the appearance of ...
