This is a great example of surface tension and water. The molecules in the droplet have strong attractions to each other. Try filling an eyedropper with water and drop several droplets on wax paper.

We can make water's surface tension do even more amazing things. Get a canning jar and put a screen over the hole. Water can pass through the screen, as you would expect. (Photo Credit: Ray ...

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 ...

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 will observe ...

Dadhichi Paretkar (left) and Jagota reported the results of their studies of surface tension in solids in the journal Physical Review E. Animangsu Ghatak ’03 Ph.D. was a coauthor of their paper.

The magnitude of surface tension can be adjusted by adding amphiphilic molecules, ones that contain both hydrophilic and hydrophobic components, like soaps. These amphiphilic molecules prefer to be at ...
