Scientists have engineered a simple and inexpensive device that can sort droplets of liquid based solely on the liquids' varying surface tensions. Imagine being able to instantly diagnose diabetes, ...

On a non-textured (or smooth) surface, the equilibrium contact angle θ for any contacting liquid is given by Young’s relation 10 as: The second important parameter for characterizing surface ...

Phenomena involving surface tension are extremely complex and have applications in our everyday lives, and researchers are tackling the complicated mathematics behind the physics. The effects of ...

A tensiometer is an instrument used to measure the surface tension (γ) of liquids or surfaces in the domain of physics. Surface tension is the contractive quality of the surface of a liquid that ...

Phil Harrop from Scientific Solutions demonstrates the SITA Dynamic Surface Tensiometer used for measuring surface tension. He shows us how the instrument works, key components and describes ...
