Surface tension is the tendency of liquid surfaces at rest to shrink into the minimum surface area possible. Surface tension is what allows objects with...

In surface science, a tensiometer is a measuring instrument used to measure the surface tension (γ) of liquids or surfaces. Tensiometers are used in research...

This is a table of surface tension values for some interfaces at the indicated temperatures. Note that the SI units millinewtons per meter (mN·m−1) are...

"Surface Tension" is a science fiction short story by American writer James Blish, originally published in the August 1952 of Galaxy Science Fiction....

Surface tension is one of the areas of interest in biomimetics research. Surface tension forces will only begin to dominate gravitational forces below...

surface tension or interfacial tension between two liquids, a liquid and a gas, or a liquid and a solid. The word "surfactant" is a blend of surface-active...

halted the production of the mod due to health issues. In Surface Tension Uncut, the "Surface Tension" chapter was expanded to include certain areas of the...

Parachor is a quantity related to surface tension that was proposed by S. Sugden in 1924. It is defined according to the formula: P = γ 1 / 4 M / ( ρ...

surface tension. A simple way to form a drop is to allow liquid to flow slowly from the lower end of a vertical tube of small diameter. The surface tension...

In physics, tension is the pulling or stretching force transmitted axially along an object such as a string, rope, chain, rod, truss member, or other...

to consider is the surface tension. The proportional relationship between the minimum film boiling temperature and surface tension is to be expected,...

the curve in the upper surface of a liquid close to the surface of the container or another object, produced by surface tension. A concave meniscus occurs...

The surface tension of a liquid tends to assume the smallest possible size, acting as a membrane under tension. Any portion of the liquid surface exerts...

The surface tension of the molten solder helps keep the components in place, and if the solder pad geometries are correctly designed, surface tension automatically...

frequencies between 3 Hz and 30 mHz). Shorter waves are also affected by surface tension and are called gravity–capillary waves and (if hardly influenced by...

central air space. The surface tension acts at the air-water interface and tends to make the bubble smaller (by decreasing the surface area of the interface)...

The cause is an additional force, the surface tension, which suppresses the growth of bubbles. Surface tension makes the bubble act like an elastic balloon...

patterns develop. Liquids flow from places of lower surface tension to places of higher surface tension. This is called the Marangoni effect. When applying...

romanized: stálagma, lit. 'drop') is one of the most common methods for measuring surface tension. The principle is to measure the weight of drops of a fluid of interest...

Based on the contact angle results and knowing the surface tension of the liquids, the surface energy can be calculated. In practice, this analysis...

or in short bubble pressure method, is a technique to measure the surface tension of a liquid, with surfactants. When the liquid forms an interface with...

(599 °F). PPEs have high surface tension; hence these fluids have a lower tendency to wet metal surfaces. The surface tension of the commercially available...

forces tend to have large surface tensions. A practical implication of surface tension is that liquids tend to minimize their surface area, forming spherical...

a macroscopic structure such as a water drop. Cohesion allows for surface tension, creating a "solid-like" state upon which light-weight or low-density...

dynamics, the shape of a free surface may be defined by surface tension. However, they are surfaces only at macroscopic scale. At microscopic scale, they...
