New measurements of the universe’s expansion using James Webb Space Telescope appear to resolve the Hubble constant conflict ...

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 ...

Jun 17, 2025 Sculpting the surface of water (w/video) Physicists shaped water surfaces using 3D-printed spines and surface tension, enabling gravity-driven particle control for sorting and pollution ...

“As well as surface tension and interfacial tension measurement, it can measure for critical micelle concentration (CMC) and density.” Accuracy and precision come from the simple automated process, ...

1 Introduction The surface tension measurement following the maximum pressure bubble method (MPBM) is based on the determination of the pressure difference inside and outside of an air bubble at the ...

“This was our solution to study the sea-surface microlayer and it really is a great example of a collaboration between the ship crew and the scientists to solve a real challenge.” Once the samples ...

Inspired by the surface tension of a droplet of liquid, researchers have created an adjustable wheel that alters shape in real-time, tackling uneven surfaces and high obstacles with ease. It’s ...

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 ...
