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 ...

Inspired by the aquatic wriggling of beetle larvae, a research team has designed a propulsion system that strips away paddles, sails, and motors and harnesses the energy within the water's surface.

Introduction Have you ever noticed on a rainy day how water forms droplets on a window? Why does it do that instead of spreading out evenly over the whole surface? You might not guess it but this ...

Researchers say technology they have developed would let boats or small aquatic robots glide through the water without the need for an engine, sails or paddles. A University of Pittsburgh research ...

Bonding over the science of Surface Tension! Why do some things float in water while others sink? The Crew’s depth of knowledge goes WAY below the surface, as they learn all about the molecular bonds ...
