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 ...

Water has very unique properties, and this experiment puts them to the test! Follow along with ABC11 Science Club with BASF and discover how to measure surface tension using a simple penny! Objective: ...

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 ...

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 ...

Nothing beats kitchen science for fun. I recently filled a glass of water to the brim. Then little by little, I added extra water from a teaspoon until I raised the level until it was clearly higher ...

A more complete picture of how excited water molecules at an interface with air lose their energy has been uncovered by RIKEN scientists in a study published in the journal Nature Communications. This ...

The surface of ice is a slippery subject. For more than 160 years, scientists have been debating the quirks of ice’s exterior. Frozen water is coated in a layer of molecules that behave like a liquid.

Biological tissues exhibit two contradictory properties: they have a robust architecture that is required for their maintenance and resistance to stress, and they can be extensively remodelled during ...
