The paper clip is more dense than water but can rest on the surface of the water because of the water's surface tension. Evidence of water's surface tension can be seen where the water strider's legs ...

WHEN the available experimental values of the surface tensions of liquid metals are plotted against the reciprocals of the corresponding atomic volumes, the accompanying diagram is obtained.

Surface Tension in the Lungs Recent investigations have shown that the air spaces of the lung are coated with a complex substance that lowers surface tension. It now appears that this substance ...

The Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 35, No. 6 (Dec., 1924), pp. 526-536 (11 pages) A systematic study of the surface tension of liquid culture mediums has been made. Nine standard mediums have a ...

Linda Hall has a new exhibition, Surface Tension, currently up at the Thomasville Center for the Arts, a collection of work which includes the artist’s collaborations with photographer Becki Rutta.

The surface composition, as inferred from the surface tension, also plays an important role in the equilibrium size of small aerosol droplets (<150 nm diameter) and the activation of cloud ...

The secret behind this breathtaking act? The invisible, yet powerful, force of surface tension. Let’s dive into the world beneath the water’s edge and uncover how these tiny architects of ...

Discover the amazing properties of water's surface tension as you make metal paper clips float on water. You'll learn about the forces that hold water molecules together and how insects like water ...

FOR nearly fifty years certain errors, which concern the weight of the maximum drop of liquid which will remain hanging from the lower circular face of a vertical cylinder and that of the drop ...
