You'll never look at a drop of water the same way. By measuring a water droplet with a resolution comparable with the scale of a single atom, scientists have determined that the droplet interface ...

The physics of bouncing water droplets underlies a wide range of industrial applications from crop spraying to ink-jet printing, and continues to fascinate after 200 years of research, say Vance ...

Lord Kelvin’s Thunderstorm is build around the concept of water droplets falling through inductors. Two streams of water fall from small holes in reservoirs at the top. Those streams fall through two ...

Introduction Have you ever watched raindrops on your window as they move and run down the glass? It is fascinating to observe how some of them sit there by themselves whereas others combine to build a ...

Generating electricity from raindrops efficiently has gone one step further. A research team has recently developed a droplet-based electricity generator (DEG), featured with a field-effect transistor ...

(a) Droplets sliding down (l-r) a single fibre, a bundle of two fibres and a bundle of three fibres. A liquid film appears behind each droplet. (b) Horizontal cuts of each system, showing dry fibres ...
