FORT WAYNE, Ind (WANE ) – This week Joe conduct an extremely simple experiment that you can do at home to understand the science of surface tension. For this experiment you’ll need a clear bowl, water ...

Fill water dropper with water Add one drop at a time onto the penny Watch what happens EXPLANATION: Have you ever seen a bug walk on the water? This is because of surface tension! Water is what we ...

Take a moment to imagine a warm summer Vermont day - they’re coming soon! You have the luxury of jumping into a pool to cool off. As you hit the surface it feels kind of hard but you splash in and ...

In this week’s edition of Spark Science, Ben Hyde uses a homemade apparatus to teach a lesson about surface tension. To learn more about Spark Science, visit their Facebook page.

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, ...

Propelled by chemical changes in surface tension, microrobots surfing across fluid interfaces lead researchers to new ideas. Spend an afternoon by a creek in the woods, and you're likely to notice ...

Surfactants play a pivotal role in modifying the interfacial properties between polymers and liquids. By adsorbing at both the liquid–air and polymer–liquid interfaces, these molecules can reduce the ...
