Don Pettit is replacing astronaut Tracy Dyson, who plans to return to Earth on Sept. 23, after a six-month stay aboard the ...

A study has developed an innovative method that overcomes the limitations of traditional additive manufacturing (3D printing), significantly simplifying and accelerating the production of ...

For the first time, engineers created a novel “morphing” wheel that can easily roll over obstacles by adjusting its stiffness ...

A study led by the School of Engineering of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has developed an ...

When you mix water with ouzo (a clear Greek spirit) something pretty crazy happens. The initially-transparent liquid turns a ...

Frossard explained that the research team is interested in studying what are known as surfactants, compounds that reduce the ...

A study led by the School of Engineering of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has developed an ...

Students investigate the polarity of the water molecule and design tests to compare water to less polar liquids for evaporation rate, surface tension, and ability to dissolve certain substances.

Researchers have developed a new spray deposition technique for creating cholesteric liquid crystal elastomer coatings with ...

in virtue of its surface tension, it is held back and away from ... of the powder in preventing contact between a solid and liquid may be obtained by lowering a coin into the water.

The impact drives water downwards and outwards, creating an air cavity that extends into the liquid. In this case, it's hydrostatic pressure rather than surface tension that causes the inflow of ...

THE convex meniscus of mercury can be explained by assuming a state of tension in the limiting layer of this liquid, not only at the free surface, but also in the area of contact with the ...
