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 ...
Surface tension is an important factor in bacterial growth, morphology, and probably in cell division, and to a less extent in the motility of bacteria, and their ability to retain Gram's stain.
IN a recent paper on “Surface Tension and Cell-Division” (Q.J.M.S. 66, pp. 235-245), Mr. J. Gray maintains that “cell-division may be accounted for by the movement of the two asters away ...
